Zon O Phone/ Gramophone conflict
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 6:34 pm
Received my June copy of the APS today and was reading the article about the conflict between Gramophone and Zon- O- Phone.
It was interesting to see the advertisement for Zon-O-Phone on page 24 stating that it was a substitute for the Gram-O-Phone which is abandoned, including it's name.
I have a copy from December 1900 of the weekly journal SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. On the very last page there is a 4X4 inch ad from United States Gramophone Company, E. Berliner, President, which states that's law suits have been entered against Zon-O-Phone and dealers as well as users are WARNED against buying the Zon-O-Phone machines as they can make themselves liable for heavy damages..
