MANA-ZUCCA RECORDS FOR AMPICO
Distinguished Young Pianist and Composer
Added to List of Ampico Artists
To the long list of notable artists who have
arranged to record exclusively for the Ampico
has been added the name of Mana-Zucca, the
distinguished young pianist and composer, who
will record her playing exclusively for the
Ampico in the future. Mana-Zucca has won
the distinct reputation in musical circles and

Q R S Co. Reports That Man Is Traveling in

Obtain Money From Music Roll Buyers
150,000!!
In the Player Section of The Review for last month,
August 30th, 1919, the printer made us say, as evidence
of our importance to the industry, these words:
"Solid Piano Repute: More than ISfiOO
have been made and sold since 1893,"
Our friends in the trade must have been surprised, but of
course they knew that we had said 150,000 and not
1 5,000. ZERO is nothing till it is left out of a big number,
then it is a whole lot.
More than 150,000 M. SCHULZ CO. PIANOS have
been made and sold since 1893.
Our M. SCHULZ CO. PLAYER-PIANOS dominate
our present enormous output. The proportion of player-
pianos to the total may be expected to increase steadily,
putting us in an ever better position to fill the orders of
the right \ind of dealer, who can appreciate the quality and
service we give.

bank, or by produce or securities. Such credits
will not be issued for the export of raw mate-
rials, and preference will be given to the financ-
ing of goods where tin- larger part of the cost
is due to manufacture in Great Britain.
It has been decided to set aside $125,000,000
as a guarantee to British exporters against loss
in their trading operations with those regions.

SEEK TO TRACE SWINDLER
The Q R S Co. reports that a swindler using
the name of Baxter has been soliciting orders
for Q R S music rolls. He makes a proposi-
tion whereby the customer pays $5.40 a year
and receives eight music rolls monthly for that
sum, collecting $2.70 when this agreement is
signed. He explains to people that the Q R S
Co. is doing this to further an advertising cam-
paign. He is not an authorized representative
of the Q R S Co. and they will deem it a favor
to have telegraphic advice immediately wherever
this man is located. He was last heard of in
Newark, N. j .
