Harmonola



Talking Machine World, January 1918, p. 39. Toronto, Canada: The J. Coulter Co., Ltd., are putting on the market the Harmonola, a new cabinet phonograph, to be sold through the jewelry trade in three models.



Daily Standard (Kingston, Ontario), January 11, 1918, p. 5. The first display ad that I've found for Harmonola mentions "completely Canadian".

The Adams Furniture Company Limited, 211-219 Yonge St., was the exclusive dealer of the Harmonola phonograph in Toronto. They regularly published display ads in the Toronto Daily Star newspaper beginning on April 9, 1920. Their last ad was published in TDS on December 11, 1925. Later in the 1920s, Adams specialized in the sale of Nuphonic phonographs.
