FLAMMER HOME FROM LONG TRIP
Music Publisher Returns From Successful and
Interesting Transcontinental Trip
Harold Flammer, the publisher, has returned
to New York after a seven weeks' trade trip,
which covered the Pacific Coast and intervening
territory. In all he visited fifty-five cities in
the United States and several trade centers of
Canada.
Mr. Flammer reports general trade conditions
to be excellent. He states he had a very suc-
cessful trip which can be best measured
by the orders from dealers in various localities,
which were from 25 to 30 per cent more than
any previous year. "Crops," he said, "were very
good," but he found that the railroad strike was
a serious factor in many parts of the country.
Mr. Flammer was held up by three wrecks
and was on the Wolverine Limited near Battle
Creek, Mich., when a car of the train in which
he was riding with three others went off the
track.
"The most impressive experience I had," said
Mr. Flammer, "was a visit to the Hollywood
Bowl. There I heard an eighty-five piece or-
chestra conducted by Alfred Herz and it was
most inspiring. Tickets for the Bowl concerts
are $10. They include ten concerts and allow

the admittance of four people on each ticket.
This opportunity of hearing such superb pro-
grams at a cost of 25 cents per person is unusual
and those people who have made it possible
deserve tremendous praise. In fact, the West-
erners are big boosters and seem to co-operate
in a broader way to encourage real talent than
is found elsewhere."
