[78-L] 1907 Royal Sewing Machine promo record

[Ron L'Herault]

Any chance of getting a scan of the ad, Mike?  I'd like to see what model
Victor it is.  I'm guessing it is a P.

Does anybody have, or know of, a record made in 1907 that would be a 
store promotional record about the New Royal Sewing Machine.  Today at 
the monthly collectibles market I got a 1907 mailer from the Illinois 
Sewing Machine Co, Chicago, with a large picture of a front mount Victor 
that would be given for free to sewing machine dealers who ordered and 
payed for six Royal sewing machines at $19 ea.  Along with the free 
Victor phonograph would come "three musical records" and "one special 
record giving a talk on the New Royal".  A Victor label is shown on the 
top record of the four, but since we don't see the other labels there is 
no way of knowing if the special record was actually a Victor or some 
other label.  Anybody know?
