In December, 1919, the J.H. Herman store sold the Columbia Grafonola. The grafonola was a
type of phonograph which was used to
play recorded music. In the 1920s, the grafonola was popular with music
teachers all across the U.S. In the book The Grafonola in the Class Room, the Columbia Graphophone Company pointed out
that music helped to cultivate contentment, faith, hope and love, and brought
people together from all walks of life.
In the December 12, 1920 issue of the Sandusky Register, an advertisement from
the J.H. Herman Company showed several models of Grafonolas. A special Grafonola
Christmas Club offered customers a plan in which payments could be made over time.
