THE MARKETPLACE

HOW WELL DID SELL?

During the latter part of 1919 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. began to keep cumulative sales figures for those records that were still available. The documents were continued into 1920 and then stopped. While the documents included sales figures for all series of discs time allowed me to copy only those figures for the higher priced classical series. Thus the present article includes the 82,000 ($2.00); 82,500 ($2.50); 83,000 ($3.00) and 84,000 ($4.00) series. Should there be sufficient interest it may be possible to do the other series at a later date. While the document did list some of the special Tone-Test records pressing figures were included for only two of them. I have arbitrarily excluded them and propose to discuss the Edison Tone Tests at a later date. The documents also originally included supplementary listings, which, for the sake of convenience, have been merged into the regular listings. The type copy of the major portion of the listings has been taken from regular Edison numerical catalogs and forms the framework of my forthcoming Complete Edison Disc Numerical Catalog. Several things may be noted: 1) Many of the sales figures seem surprisingly small and many of the records must be classed as rarities; 2) Deletion was not always because of poor sales-mold damage also played a part; 3) Records were retained even with extremely disappointing sales. Without a knowledge of the reason for discontinuance we cannot assume anything concerning records that had already been discontinued. Sales might have played a part; mold damage might have been responsible; or the record might have been discontinued as a result of the World War I anti-German hysteria. One further bit of information:-Record 50509-Let us not forget, a speech by Thomas A. Edison, is often considered a rare record by collectors and especially by dealers. It is not! It was issued in March 1919 and had already sold 40,760 copies by the time the list was prepared. There were no returns. (Note: I wish to thank the staff of the Edison National Historic Site for the many kindnesses shown to me during the many years of my Edison research. Mr. Melvin Weig, Mr. Harold Anderson, and Mr. Norman Speiden have been extremely encouraging. It is with much sadness that I report on their retirements. Mrs. Kathleen McGuirk is still actively at work and has smoothed the path of much of my research. Only a researcher who has worked with a staff sensitive to his needs can appreciate the full extent of my debt in the past and hopefully in the future.)
