I have just taken a big step forward in my research.

In the Edison Phonograph Monthly, Jan., 1911, on page 7 http://www.archive.org/details/edisonph ... 5/mode/2up you « can see this Ad, which is a reduced reproduction of the January Double-Page Ad appearing in the big Magazines and National Weeklies ».

Now all that remains is to find the American magazines in which EDISON published its advertisements in January 1911. Are there any Edison marketing specialist among you?

Postscript) Edison Edison was also not only a gifted inventor, he was also a marketing genius, amassed $200 million in wealth (today's dollars) !

There are only eight different copies of this image on the internet and this one is the highest quality...
