A Message from E.E. Shumaker, President of VTMCo, 1927

[MarkELynch]

Orthophiles,

David Giovannoni kindly posted my copy of the rare 1927 Shumaker speech about the Orthophonic line to Victor dealers on the i78s.org website.
i posted this here and not in the record section because the speech deals with the introduction of the Orthophonic line in general.

Did anyone have trouble accessing the Shumaker speech? What did you think? Pretty impressive sales numbers!
Maybe some of you are out spending your money on electric refrigerators rather than listening to a speech about Victor products.
