Canadian Furniture World and the Undertaker, February 1921, p. 29: "In conjunction with the N. A. Bent Chair Co's exhibit a display of the National Table Co.'s line of phonographs was shown. These music machines are noted for their very fine cases. Fifteen different styles were shown, two of the newest being of Chippendale design. One electric machine was displayed. Electricity is the coming motive power for phonographs, say this company, and they are going in for this style quite extensively."
