If You're Not Getting
As Much Business As
You'd Like To Have
If you’re not doing all the business
you can handle, there’s something
wrong with your sales promotion—
and it’s our job to help you find
out what it is and help you correct
whatever is wrong.
We’re sales promotion and adver­
tising counsellors, with many years
of experience to back up our judg­
ment; and we’d like to talk to you
about your sales problems.
You can write us at any time, lay
the facts before us, ask our advice,
and not be afraid we’ll send you a
bill for service.
That’s not the way we do business.
If, after investigating your prob­
lem, we decide there’s a place
where we can fit into your picture,
we submit our recommendations
and quote a fee.
But any preliminary investigation
you want made is at our expense,
without obligation to you.
Won’t you write us your problem?

BOMB TOKYO" CAMPAIGN
Roy Small, conciliator for
the United Music Operators
of Michigan, is sponsoring a
“Bomb Tokyo” campaign, in
conjunction with the Detroit
Times, a Hearst newspaper.
Song writers Amherst Turner
and Jim Siracuse have written
the tunes “Bomb Tokyo” and
“Miss America,” and the initial
order of records has been deliv­
ered by the Scranton Record
Company. The copyrights are
handled by Mr. Small.
The United Music Operators
of Michigan, on Saturday after­
noon, February 21, held a pre­
view of the recording “Bomb
Tokyo” in Convention Hall, with
food, drinks/entertainment, and
personal appearance of the
artists.
Immediately fo llo w in g the
preview , 5000 records and
placards were distributed to the
operators, who put them in the
No. 1 position on all automatic
phonographs in Detroit.
The vocals for both tunes
were handled by Paul Davis,
who recently returned from the
RAF Ball in Bermuda, and the
McColl Twins, formerly of New
York, all of which were directed
by orchestra leader Frank Sid­
ney. The entire production was
carried by the United Sound
Systems, Detroit, recording lab­
oratory and technical work was
done by co-author, Jim Siracuse.
This “Bomb Tokyo” campaign
follows the previous success of
“Any Bonds Today?”, in which
Mr. Small’s excellent work was
called to the attention of the Sec­
retary of the Treasury, Mr.
Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Mr.
Small was asked to come to
Washington for the purpose of
organizing a national campaign.
The excellent results of that
campaign are still being publi­
cized.
