UNIVERSAL MUSIC CO.
With a smaller bulletin than has been cus-
tomary in the past this company has an excel-
lently chosen list of songs, popular music and
light classics in its song roll, hand-played and
regular editions for November. A reduction in
the number of monthly publications is entirely
proper; nor need there be any doubt as to the
final result. The dealers will concentrate on the
bulletin much better and will sell as many if
not more than ever in consequence.
FOUR-IN-ONE
A New Bulletin Issued by
The Standard Music Roll Co.
In a conscientious effort towards com-
plying with our Government's urgent re-
quest to save paper we have designed
this combination bulletin of music rolls
comprising twenty (20) of the latest and
fifty (50) of the greatest titles in popular
music in the Four Most Popular Types
of Music Rolls.
While accomplishing 100 per cent, sav-
ing of envelopes and a paper saving of
over 75 per cent, in combining four bul-
letins in one, the innovation possesses
the distinct advantage of presenting in
a simple and comprehensive form every-
thing one needs to know: (1) About the
four best types of music rolls; (2) About
sheet music, and (3) About popular music
generally.
Let's help to Win the War by getting
a maximum of good and patriotic music
in every home and camp with a minimum
expenditure of materials.
This 4-in-l bulletin will meet both your
requirements and patriotic impulses as
thoroughly as it does our Uncle Sam's
conservation plans.
A liberal supply of the new bulletins
will be forwarded to all dealers who sell
Arto, SingA and Perfection Music Rolls.
A post card inquiry from others will
bring the latest music roll literature and
best trade prices.

"Our crew lost all they owned in the mishap
except the clothing on their backs, but they
lament most of all the loss of their musical out-
fit," said Mr. Struthers, who himself has lost
a son in the Aviation Service and who has two
other sons in the army in France. "We had
just succeeded in assembling such an outfit of
phonographs and other musical instruments as
to make the 'America' one of the most joyful
transports affoat.
We had two player-pianos
costing $1,000 each, three pianos of the ordi-
nary variety, eight phonographs, 100 records,
and a jazz band.
"There is no use weeping over water-soaked
musical instruments and phonographic records.
Just at present, during the process of pumping
out the boat, we have the boys quartered about
in all sorts of places. If we could have a few
phonographs and records to distribute among
them it would be a godsend."
an excellent business and is steadily prospering.
The Bjur Bros, and Gordon & Son pianos and
player-pianos are being handled as well as the
Columbia Grafonolas—in fact, everything in the
musical line is to be found. Mr. Oskierko, the
proprietor, is a tireless worker, whose efforts
are to give the best of service to his clients.

LARGEST SEEBURG ORGAN INSTALLED
"The Piano for Dry
Territory 99
CHICAGO, III., October 21.—lv W. Smith, super-
intendent of the organ division of the J. P. See-
burg Piano Co., together with his staff left on
Monday for Detroit, where they went to in-
stall a Seeburg-Smith organ in the De Luxe
Theatre. The new theatre, which will when
completed be the largest moving picture house
in Detroit, is expected to open to the public on
November 15.
The Seeburg Piano Co. look upon this organ
with pride, not only because of its uniqueness,
but because of the fact that it is the largest
organ they have ever constructed. Every ef-
fect imaginable or ever introduced has been in-
corporated in this instrument.
J. P. beeburg, head or the J. 1 . beeburg Piano
Co., left Chicago on Sunday evening for an
Eastern trip. He anticipates a visit to Wash-
ington as well as New York and other Eastern
points. He will probably return in a week.

Former Wurlitzer Salesman Now Scenario Di-
rector of Motion Picture Concern
CHICAGO, I I I . , October 21.—Sumter Calvert,
who was formerly head salesman for the retail
Victor department of the Rudolph Wurlitzer
Co., is now connected with the Rothacker Film
Mfg. Co., Chicago, serving in the capacity of
scenario director of the educational film depart-
ment.
Mr. Calvert made somewhat of a reputation
for himself while in the music game as a scenario
writer. It is his ambition to spread the "Music
in the Home" propaganda by means of the
movies, and for this reason he has spent some
time in interesting various piano and talking
machine manufacturers of this city in his meth-
ods of spreading this propaganda by means of
educational films, the basic principle being na-
tional advertising. His idea is that if the possi-
bilities of talking machines and pianos are ex-
ploited by means of the movies there is a chance
to show factory scenes portraying the actual
construction of the various instruments, while
in the subtitles there comes a chance for na-
tional advertising in giving credit to the manu-
facturer for giving permission to the film com-
pany to take the photographs.
TRACKER MECHANISM FOR PLAYERS
Republic Bldg., 209 S. State St.
WASHINGTON, D. C, October 21.—William K.
Shore, New York, was last week granted Patent
No. 1,280,319 for a tracker mechanism for play-
er-pianos, the principal objects being to elim-
inate the complex and undesirable conditions
found in the use of pneumatically controlled
tracker mechanisms, and to devise a mechanical
structure of simple form which will be extreme-
ly sensitive and instantaneous in its operation in
correcting lateral displacement of the music
sheet as it passes over the tracker bar.
The principal feature of this invention con-
sists in the novel*construction and arrangement
of parts, whereby the alinement of the openings
in the music sheet with the ports in the tracker
bar is maintained by effecting a lateral move-
ment of one of the members through the direct
mechanical operation of a lever which is oper-
ated through a train of gears and said gears are
directly controlled by a clutch member which is
operatively connected with guiding fingers ar-
ranged to engage the edges of the music sheet.
