BANDS

Here it is February and the
recording output has just about
returned to normal, with few
exceptions, however. And these
exceptions that we speak of, and
which are causing some concern
in recording circles, is the band
situation.
The band like any other busi­
ness is being effected by the
problem of drafting manpower
M A N PO W ER
into the army. And like any
other business, the band leader
is faced with a condition that
only war can bring about. Mu­
sicians are being drafted into
the army by the score and band
leaders throughout the country
are wondering what to do about
it— perhaps in time, they too,
will be drafted and the problem
solved in that manner.

However, with some of the
leading bands in the country
now faced with the loss of their
best talent, recording sessions
are consequently hampered. No
musicians — no band, and of
consequence, no recording. This
is, by far and large, the one im­
portant occurrence in the music
industry, that may in time effect
the phonograph operator.
Courtney Waxing Soon
Incidentally, when it comes to
the fact that radio plugs make
a recording an asset to phono­
graph play — radio time can
place a band in a position to ob­
tain a recording contract. Such
is the case with Del Courtney,
who at one time recorded for
the Okeh label. Requests by the
thousands from Del Courtney
fans listening to his nightly
network broadcast b r o u g h t
about a sudden change in the at­
titude in recording company
executives.
Suddenly, so it seemed, that
Del’s music had become pro­
foundly good and of conse­
quence, several of the recording
executives would like to sign
Courtney. From looks of things
Del’s brand of banding has al­
ways been good and it’s merely
a matter of what the public de­
mands, it generally gets — so
Del Courtney and his sweet
swingy rhythms will be back on
the wax platter and soon.

is going to take the mightiest effort
America has ever made—in men, in materials, and in
money! Every dollar, every dime that is not urgently
needed for the civilian necessities of food, clothing, and
shelter, must, if we are to secure final Victory, be put into
the war effort.
An important part of the billions required to produce
the planes, tanks, ships, and guns our Army and Navy
need must come from the sale of Defense Bonds. Only
by regular, week by week, pay-day by pay-day invest­
ment of the American people can this be done.
This is the American way to win. This is the way to
preserve our democratic way of life.
Facing these facts, your Government needs, urgently,
your cooperation with your employees in immediately
enrolling them in a

The Pay-Roll Savings Plan is simple and efficient.
It provides, simply, for regular purchases by your em­
ployees of United States Defense Bonds through system­
atic—yet voluntary—pay-roll allotments. All you do is
hold the total funds collected from these pay-roll allot­
ments in a separate account and deliver a Defense Bond
to the employee each time his allotments accumulate to
an amount sufficient to purchase a Bond.
The Pay-Roll Savings Plan has the approval of the
American Federation of Labor, the Congress for Indus­
trial Organization, and the Railroad Brotherhoods. It is
now in effect in several thousand companies varying in
number of employees from 3 to over 10,000.
In sending the coupon below, you are under no obliga­
tion, other than your own interest in the future of your
country, to install the Plan after you have given it your

It provides immediate cash now to produce the finest,
deadliest fighting equipment an Army and Navy ever
needed to win.

It gives every American wage earner the opportunity for
financial participation in National Defense.

By storing up wages, it will reduce the current demand
for consumer goods while they are scarce, thus retarding
inflation.
It reduces the percentage of Defense financing that must
be placed with banks, thus putting our emergency financ­
ing on a sounder basis.
It builds a reserve buying power for the post-war purchase
of civilian goods to keep our factories running after the
war.
I t helps your employees provide for their future.
