Christine Miller was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1876. She immigrated with her family and, as a young woman, worked as a clerk in one of Pittsburgh’s many department stores. Christine had a fine voice and sang in the Third Presbyterian Church choir. An anonymous benefactor who had heard her sing in the choir offered to sponsor her education at a music conservatory with the understanding that Christine would need to work to pay for any costs for room and board. Christine accepted the offer and quickly proved her benefactor had a very savvy ear. With the proper training, Christine soon became one of the top contraltos, selling out concert halls throughout the United States. At the height of her career, the pastor of Third Presbyterian Church contacted Christine, offering her the position of Church Soloist. The salary offered was less than half of what she was making on stage but Christine saw a chance to return the kindness shown to her by the church and she accepted. While engaged by the church, she met an older parishioner who was a widower. They fell in love and eloped in 1918. Daniel Clemson was one of Andrew Carnegie’s “Shirtsleeve” partners who had become a multi-millionaire when Carnegie sold his steel concerns to J.P. Morgan. Once Christine accepted his proposal of marriage, only then did Daniel confess to Christine that he had not only been the benefactor that paid for her schooling but he had also set up the soloist’s salary to entice her to return to Pittsburgh. ******************************************** Christine Miller also performed in the so-called "Edison Tone Tests"

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.
If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.
US Domestic Shipping:
Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:
Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)
1 record: 4.75 – 5.50$
2 records: 6.50$
5 records: 8.00$
10 records: 12.00$
MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.
Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!
I am very happy to ship records worldwide.
Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower
One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).
As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.
Thank you very much, and good luck bidding !!!
