THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
FORTUNATE IN HAVING BIO STOCK.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson Giving Dealers Good
Service in the Face of Great Handicaps.
"Business is coming along in a very satisfactory
manner," said Samuel Buegeleisen, head of Beugel-
eisen & Jacobson, 113 University place, New York,
"and up to the present writing we have been very
fortunate in having a stock on hand that has en-
abled us to give our dealers co-operation and serv-
ice in the face of tremendous handicaps. We have
always made it a rule to carry an enormous stock
of musical merchandise, even though the demand
at times did not, seemingly, warrant this heavy
expenditure; but I need hardly say that we are
now congratulating ourselves on our foresight and
policies.
"A feature of our business the past few months
has been the large number of new accounts that
we have closed in all parts of the country. There
is evidently a renewed activity in the musical mer-
chandise industry from Coast to Coast, but these
new dealers must necessarily be extended every
possible assistance in the matter of service and co-
operation before they can develop a paying busi-
ness. It certainly is encouraging and gratifying to
receive unsolicited letters of praise from these new
accounts relative to the quality of the merchandise
we are sending them.
"We are also making a special effort to increase
the demand for American manufactured musical

merchandise, and to that end we will shortly issue

this merchandise."

Some dealers may say that they coat more than

Excelsior drams cost more because they are
worth more. Cost more to make.
We could make them cost less by using 1 cheaper
material, use less care in making them, and dis-

If we did, however, Excelsior Drums would not
