FINAL AWARD OF URCHS CUP
E. R. Armstrong,
Sherman, Clay
Prize Cup After
by Hanging Up
Word has just come from San Francisco of
the final awarding of the Urchs Cup to E. R.
Armstrong, manager of the Fresno store of
Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, Mr. Arm-
strong having won the cup for the third time,
thereby becoming its permanent owner.
The Urchs Cup, designed to stimulate sales-
manship efforts among the Sherman, Clay &
Co. forces, was donated in 1913 by K-rnest Urchs,
manager of the wholesale department of Stein-
way & Sons, to be awarded to the Sherman,
Clay & Co. branch that each year had the larg-
est percentage of net profits in proportion to
the amount invested. Manager Armstrong, who
has just been awarded the cup, won it in 1914,
1917 and for the third time in 1919, during which
years the Fresno branch hung up the best rec-
ord under the terms of the award. In 1913
the cup was won by Irving Heilbron, manager of
the Sacramento store; in 1915 by Ray R. Rugg,
manager of the San Jose store; in 1916 by R. E.
Robinson, manager of the Seattle store, and
again in 1918 by Mr. Robinson for the showing
n.ade by the Tacoma store.
In a letter to Mr. Urchs announcing the final
award of the cup, Philip T. Clay, president of
Sherman, Clay & Co., said in part: "It has been
a great stimulus to our managers and has been
the cause of a great deal of friendly competi-
tion and the exchange of persiflage between
them. The Urchs Cup has become the tradi-
tion of Sherman, Clay & Co."
Mr. Urchs announced that he had already ar-
ranged to donate another large silver cup for
the same purpose and to be contested for under
the same conditions.
MUSIC PAGE IN_AUGUSTA HERALD
National Bureau for the Advancement of Music
Aids B. H. Nixon, the Editor, in Keeping the
Page Full of Interesting Musical Matter
One of the new newspapers to start a reg-
ular popular music page is the Augusta, Ga.,
Herald, the page being under the direction of
B. H. Nixon, who is deeply interested in the
development of the department, and who has
been co-operating thoroughly with the Na-
tional Bureau for the Advancement of Music
in the presentation of interesting news matter
and in the arrangement of the page.
That Mr. Nixon is thoroughly appreciative
of the work being done by the Bureau for the
Advancement of Music in support of the music
page idea is quite evident from a recent letter,
in which he said in part:
"Yours of February 16 received with en-
closures, all of which are interesting indeed.
Your material is exactly what I wish and it is
easy to discern that the work of the organization
is in most competent and well qualified hands.
There are so few publicity campaigns along
any subject which have the supervision of men
versed in both the subjects which they wish ad-
vanced and newspaper craft."
