I'm 85 and I remember we had a Victrola . One had to wind it up or the records would drag . It was my job to wind it up.

See www.shorpy.com/node/1798 Shorpy reckons it's Waldman's music store in Manhattan.

The caption on the negative is "N.Y. B'd Inst., Co." (New York Band Instrument Co., see www.horn-u-copia.net/Reference/display.php?thisrec=764), I can't see any connection to Waldman's.

I have been assuming that Waldman's was from a Bain caption card, but ...
Looking for Waldman ...
www.victor-victrola.com/NewYork.htm lists a Waldman's Victor/Victrola store at 601 9th Avenue and shows a photograph somewhat similar to the store in but definitely not the same.
www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Talking-Machine/20s/... (dated in 1924) also has Waldman's at 601 9th Ave.
archive.org/details/talkingmachine17bill/page/n135 , an issue of Talking Machine World from July 1921 has a copy of
and describes it as "a new Victor store at Forty-third street and Ninth Avenue."

I'm thinking that this group of pictures is of at least two separate phonograph stores.

I guess this is at the Royal Easter Show which was held that year from 1st to 12th April.

That is a good thought - there is a little glimpse of the windows in the background - does anyone recognise these as part of one of the buildings on the old Moore Park site?

It seems John Martin and A.M.Clubb (see sign next to man at left) were associated companies. Here are several adverts from Sydney newspapers for A.M.Clubb, with each mentioning their display stand number 23C Commemorative Pavilion at the April 1939 RAS Easter Show. The Commemorative Pavilion was built in 1938 and opened just in time for the Show that year. www.flickr.com/photos/168051324@N04/51402982352/ trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231097454 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231102932 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231102755
