Canadian Music Trades Journal, June 1919, p. 78: "There is much talk of the Williams Piano Co.'s contemplating building phonographs. It is no secret that they have been experimenting for some time and the possibilities are that in the future they will manufacture phonographs. An announcement may be coming forth any day."

The Williams phonograph was manufactured by The Williams Piano Co., Limited, Oshawa, Ontario.

The R.S. Williams & Sons Co., Limited, Yonge St., Toronto was the main distributor of Edison products in Canada. It also distributed its own talking machines manufactured at its factory in Oshawa including the Sugden phonograph (see Sugden page).
