If you were in the market for a phonograph a hundred years ago in Alabama, then the place to go was the Clark & Jones Piano Company, 1913 Third Avenue, Birmingham. This ad appeared a hundred years ago today in the August 26, 1922, issue of the Birmingham Age Herald.  They had outfits ranging from $25 to $350. You could take home this handsome model, along with ten records, for only $2 a week.

Yu can view a photo of the store’s display window at the website of the Birmingham Public Library.
