lot of 7. Includes two TLsS on From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison, Orange, New Jersey lettersheets, both addressed to the Silverstone Music Company of St. Louis. The first, dated July 31, 1923, urges Silverstone to come to the Orange offices in order to have the company's new selling methods explained, assuring him that many of the company jobbers will more than double their business. In a second letter, dated October 27, 1924, Edison again writes Silverstone, this time expressing his clear disappointment. Your letter of October 27, shows without any doubt that you have not enough interest in the Phonograph business to read all the traveler's reports I send you...Of all the follies a man could be guilty of, the combination of a phonograph and radio, from a business point of view, is the worst. Keep radio separate from the phonograph by all means. Both letters signed with Edison's typical bold and distinctive signature. In addition to the letters, the lot also includes three 1920s pamphlets published by Edison, each dealing with his life and inventions, as well as a printed program for a 1921 banquet held to entertain Edison Dealers, sponsored by Silverstone, and a 1925 mimeographed sales sheet on Edison Laboratory letterhead. Condition: Both letters with folds, one with taped repairs. Pamphlets fine.
