The first practical recording and reproducing device was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877 and was a cylinder of a mechanical gramophone that was patented in 1878. The invention has spread rapidly all over the world, and commercial recording, distribution and sale of records has become a reality for the next 20 years. Always evolving new international industries By the beginning of the 20th century, the most popular products had millions sold. Due to the development of mass production technology, cylinder record is the major new consumer product in industrialized countries, the main consumption form from the late 1880s to around 1910 is cylinder.
Over 20 years before 1910, more than a quarter of the 44 or more immigrants were unable to read and write. Of the 8,398,000 people who arrived between 1900 and 1910, 23,38,000 people were unable to read and write. At the time of the 1910 census, there were 1.6 million illiterate foreigners in the United States. Can these factors lead to better competition? Are we really doing constructive things to overcome this situation? Two-thirds of white foreign capital in the United States lives in the city. Four people in four people in Chicago and New York belong to this strain. More than two-thirds of the population are Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Newark, Jersey City, Providence, Worcester, Scranton, Patterson and Fall River. , Lowell, Cambridge, Bridgeport, St. Paul, Minneapolis, San Francisco are not pedigrees of native white people.
In 1880, the population of Newark reached 136,500 in 189, 181,830 in 1900, 246,070 in 1900, and 347,000 in 1910 and increased by 200,000 in 30 years. Since the population of Newark in the 1920s is close to 500,000 people, the possibilities of the city seemed to be infinite. In 1927, "The vitality of Newark is wonderful, its veins are red blood cells - this fundamental force brings about all the obstacles that may be encountered, making it possible to recover from the losses it may suffer We will fight it in such a way as to achieve a higher level of industrial and economic success and eventually it will become the world's largest industrial center.
