Klingsor Talking Machine Co. of America.
Chicago, IL (1913)

The company imported the Klingsor Talking Machine,  from Klingsorwerke - Krebs & Klenk in Germany.

The company has adapted these machines specifically to meet the needs and conditions of the American market.

Here's what sets the Klingsor apart from all other talking machines:

• No unsightly horns: Unlike many machines of the era, the Klingsor boasts a sleek design without the need for bulky horns.
• Handsome and practical: The machine combines attractive aesthetics with functionality.
• Quiet operation: Enjoy smooth operation free from the usual scraping and noise associated with other talking machines.

Beyond these design advantages, the Klingsor boasts two key features:

• Stringed Piano Wires and Double Soundboard: This innovative technology eliminates harsh metallic tones by utilizing piano wires and a double soundboard. The sound waves are directed onto the wires, resulting in a doubled volume without sacrificing sound quality.

The combination of these features promises a listening experience unlike any other.

CHICAGO, ILL., October 9; The organization of the Klingsor Talking Machine Co. of America has been completed as the result of the efforts of Theodore Isaac, who three years ago came to Chicago with the American rights to the patents of the Klingsor Works of Hannauer, Germany, and who has since devoted himself largely to the perfecting of plans for the production of a machine incorporating the features of the well-known European talking machine embodied in cabinets suited to the American market.

The officers are as follows: President, Theodore Isaac; vice-president, Max Guthman, of the law firm of Guthman & Rothschild; treasurer and general manager, Louis Schram, president Schram Bros. Co., cabinet manufacturers; secretary, Albert P. Lugge, secretary Schram Bros. Co. The directors include the above and Jacob Rothschild, of Guthman & Rothschild, who is also general counsel for the company. "The company, which is an Illinois corporation with a capital stock of $400,000, is affiliated and will work in conjunction with the Klingsor Works of Germany," said Mr. Rothschild, "and we are the licensees of all their patents for the United States.
We also have additional patents pending on additional devices, sound boxes, tone arms, etc., which will be incorporated in our product. The cabinets, which will be adapted to American needs and conditions, will be manufactured by us.

We will secure space in the Schram Bros. Co factory building for the present. "We expect to have machines ready for the market in time for the holiday trade. As to records, we have not decided as yet whether we will make arrangements with an American company for the manufacture of records or secure them through our European connections." The company has established temporary offices at Room 62, 106 North La Salle Street, and is now demonstrating models of two styles which will represent price extremes of the line, a $25 and a $200 machine.
