The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Since this is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, according to the news, I herewith present the remedy from January 1907.
I've never found and Edison supplement from this period.

Looking at Google maps, 3 Lakeside Avenue in Orange, NJ is now an empty lot.

First time ( and only time) I was at the Edison National Historic site was in the 70's and I think it was still there. There were a lot of the factory buildings still standing then which are gone now. The site was like the land that time forgot. I wish I'd taken more pictures.

Well that sure helped my January blahs!

Thanks for posting.

Huh, I wonder why this would be the most depressing day of the year? Oh well, nice to have it done with!

Here's the article. Of course Dr Arnall's equation might only work in British pounds or something. The list of remedies needs a suggestion to play Jones and Murray's Oh You Silv'ry Bells on Blue Amberol 1800.

Maybe I will play something on my Edison.

They recently had the groundbreaking ceremony at those old Edison battery factory buildings which they want to renovate into "Edison Village".
