MUSIC DEALERS' QUESTIONNAIRE
Harold Flammer, Inc., Seeking Opinions of
Retailers on Important Trade Questions
Harold Flammer, Inc., have sent out the fol-

dealers of the country in an effort to find some
solution to the problems of meeting the in-
creased cost of doing business. The question-

dealer's answers, and extra copies of the same
can be obtained from the New York office of
the company. The circular says:
