His Voice For 33 Cents
FOR only 35 cents, an American citizen who wants to send a spoken message to a friend or relative overseas in the forces, or a New Zealander who happens to be in an American city, can go into a booth nowadays and speak for two minutes, after which he receives a six-inch disc which can be posted away and played on any electric gramophone. Records which New Zealanders may receive from relatives in America would be best played through an electric pickup, which were becoming common just before the war, though they can be played (with detrimental effects on the record), on the ordinary gramophone. In the above photograph two New Zealand sailors, a New Zealand airman and an Australian airman are seen with recording apparatus in New York. Holding one of the records is Nola Luxford, a New Zealand journalist in the U.S. The photograph is from _a copy of "Radio Retailing To-day" (which "The Listener’ saw by the courtesy of Charles Begg & Company).
