REVIEW
ON A UNIQUE PLUGGING TOUR

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., September
"Priceless!"
Is the verdiot of every music lover
on learning the merits of "Century
Kdition."
The established reputa-
tion tliat "Century" enjoys means
much to the dealers who feature It.
Conducting a Music Department
without "Century Edition" is almost
as had as a grocer trying to get
along without Ivory Soap or
Kellog's Cornflakes.
Century's
advertis-
ing has not been as ex-
tensive as these two, but
they have had to com-
pete with other adver-
tised
brands
of
their
like,
while
Century
stands alone in its field
with no advertising com-
petitor to contend with.
Century is the first and
only one to tell the public
about Standard Reprints—this,
if nothing else, deserves your sup-
port.
