HARRY HINKS MARTIN (1873-19**)

Born in 1873 in Wincanton, Somerset, England.
Son of Henry Martin and Martha Hinks.
Got married in 1902(?)

Had been employed by The Gramophone and Typewriter Co., which he left in early 1903 (source: letter from C/W (Gramco Ltd.) to The Gramophone Company Ltd., Alexandria of 16/6/1910; Grammavox article Andrews)

H. H. Martin is sending round a circular, in which he explains he was the late Managing Director of the Gramophone "subsidiary or retail" Company, and also signs himself the late assistant manager of The Gramophone Company.
He has that very good telescopic Hollow Arm which they are selling at &5. 5. 0, and allowing 50% off.
I had a chat with Mr. Williams about H. H. Martin Limited, and am instructing Broad to wind up the Company as the Odeon people are making some advertisement out of the fact that we have to use Martin's name for our retail business."
(letter of 24/8/1904 from D/G to Theodore B. Birnbaum, Switzerland).

Phono Trader & Recorder - May 1910
