ACTIVITIES IN SAN FRANCISCO
GETTING SCHOOL BUSINESS
Sherman, Clay & Co. Feature Feist's "Sweet-
heart" in Window Display—Some Songs That
Are Selling Well—A New Remick Truck
Dealers Can Increase Their Trade by Giving a
Little Attention to This Particular Branch of
the Sheet Music Business
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., October 21.—The sheet
music department of Sherman, Clay & Co. has
been making a window specialty recently of the
Leo Feist publication, "Sweetheart." "Smilin',"
"Tomorrow Land" and Brigadier General Dawes'
"Melody" are also continuing to sell in a most
satisfactory manner. "Song of India," by Rim-
sky-Korakow, with piano arrangement by George
Hulten, of San Francisco, is proving to be very
popular.
The H. C. Hanson Music Store, of San Fran-
cisco, has had a window feature recently of
"Just Like a Rainbow," by Mary Earl and Ted
Fiorito, published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.,
New York.
William Jacobs, of Irving Berlin, Inc., New
York, has been in San Francisco recently,
visiting various sheet music men.
B. Adkins, the energetic manager of the Rem-
ick Song Shop, of San Francisco, has just inaugu-
rated a musical delivery truck which is known all
over the city. The truck does not play tunes, but
the sight of it sticks in the memory and is a
lively bit of advertising as well as a useful serv-
ant. "Remick Song Shop" is painted on top of
the truck in large letters, while the Columbia
"notes," in blue and gold, appear in startling fre-
quency on the outside. Mr. Adkins is of the
opinion that the song truck is already a business
asset of a good deal of importance.
At times there has been mention in dealer
circles of the fact that schools throughout the
country, in ordering music, do so directly from
the publisher instead of from the local dealer.
Of course, this should not be,so, as the local
dealer is, after all, entitled to such business.
However, it is necessary for him to cater to the
needs of schools in his community, keep in close
touch with them, and offer his co-operation,
services, etc.
Some pointed remarks were made in this re-
gard by the president of the Music Publishers'
Association of the United States at the twenty-
seventh annual convention of that body, held in
New York in June, when he said, among other
things:
"I would urge every music publisher to begin
a campaign with the dealers with whom he has
open accounts to the end that they cultivate the
friendship of the superintendents of schools and
supervisors of music in their territory, and do
what they can to secure their orders direct. It
is the dealers' lack of interest that is driving this
immense business to the publisher direct."
No doubt there are many opportunities for
sales that the dealers could easily take advan-
tage of, and it would be interesting to know
how many follow the above suggestion. If a
dealer in a given territory has not already given
this idea consideration and carried out plans to
obtain such sales it is now not too late to begin.
