		While the advertising, which the company ran in the early days, was forceful and progressive, and no doubt represented a considerable financial strain, the results, which have been found do not support the general impression which has been built up that the volume was spectacular from the start.
		The company felt that fair trade practices were essential to the merchandising of a patented specialty, and these principles were successfully applied for about fifteen years, as will be detailed in a later section.
		Several of the company's best mechanics spent years of their lives working behind closed doors making up boxes in every conceivable size and weight and with every fulcrum variation that was suggested or could be thought of.

		The Victor company, in pursuing what it perceived to be good business practices, made their records both discursively and physically distinctive and readily available as items of "conspicuous consumption" (Veblen, 1899/1953).
		To judge by Victor's messages to their dealers, they were not any happier than other producers of grand opera: "Red Seal Records have not always been understood by either the Dealer or his customers." Presumably because operas were numerous but expensive and heard only in the large cities, they were impossible to thoroughly understand.
		Victor's resolution of the tension between cultural distinction and democratic accessibility was reiterated and contextualized in a new format for the Victor record catalog inaugurated in 1912.

		The Victor "Type B" was sold in 1901, shortly after the Victor Talking Machine Company emerged victorious from the brutal commercial battle which drove Gramophone inventor Emile Berliner out of the US market.
