Publisher Declares Local Sheet Music Outlet Is
Not Adequate—Heavy Demand From Public
School—Some of the Big Selling Numbers
DENVEK, COLO., November 4.—That there is no
adequate outlet for sheet music in Denver is
the contention of a local representative of a big
sheet music publishing company. This is partic-
ularly true since the closing of the sheet music
department of the Kress store, which formerly
did a tremendous business in this line. Kress
stores everywhere have abandoned the sale of
sheet music. Some of the business has drifted
to the music stores handling sheet music, but
a large per cent of the business is lost. The
contention is that people will not go far off the
main thoroughfare or the shopping center to
buy sheet music.
The sheet music department of the Denver
Music Co. is a busy place these Fall days
due to the demand from the public schools for
music. Denver schools give credit for music
and every child is taught to sing while an or-
chestra is to be found in every school building
in the city. Miss Frost says the Denver Music
Co. does a very large business with the schools.
