The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I remember years ago seeing one of those handouts stores gave promoting a the Standard Talking Machine when you bought enough merchandise from that store. I know the Standard and a number of other machines were created for such campaigns.

I was wondering if anyone on the forum has any of the literature (broadsides, etc) associated with such programs? It would be interesting to see.

I found the fuzzy photo I mentioned. I don't remember where I saw it. Does anyone out there have this kind of thing?

Yes - I have that one.

Here's a page from Antique Phonograph Advertising showing these flyers in use at the time.

Thanks, George! I have several of your books, but not the one on advertising. That's an interesting picture! Is that or a similar poster reproduced in the book, or can I purchase a good copy of the poster? I wanted to frame one next to my Standards.

Steve

By "good copy" I mean a reproduction or a scan.

Steve

Here are some scans you might find interesting. I'll dig out the Outlet Clothing House flyer and scan that one too.

And as promised, the Outlet Clothing House flyer. Enjoy - -

Thanks George! These are great. I appreciate your sharing them.
