I found this advert in the 'Somerset Guardian & Radstock Observer' dated 7th November 1958:
“AS ALWAYS, A LARGE CHOICE OF GOODS FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Hornby Trains and Dinky Toys, Tri-Ang, Pedigree and Rosebud Dolls, Books, Games, RECORDS and RECORD PLAYERS at PARSONS, 2 THE ISLAND. Telephone: Midsomer Norton 2126.”

I found this advert in a 'Let's Dance' advertorial page in the 'Somerset Guardian & Radstock Observer' dated 22nd December 1950: “LET'S DANCE - WHY, OF COURSE! AND WHY NOT DANCE AT HOME? Percy H. Parsons, 2 THE ISLAND, MIDSOMER NORTON, Telephone 126, HAS ALL THE RECORDS WE SHALL WANT AND ALSO GRAMOPHONES TO PLAY THEM. COME ON, LET'S GO THERE FIRST - AND THEN LET'S DANCE.”
... and this in the 22nd June 1951 edition: “We cannot offer you TEA FOR TWO on plates but we can do so on RECORDS. We stock all Up-to-date Popular Records; also SHEET MUSIC, RECORD-PLAYERS and PICK-UPS. PERCY H. PARSONS, 2 THE ISLAND, MIDSOMER NORTON. Phone 126.”
