CLEVELAND. 0., November 26.- A new method
for increasing interest in music locally by an
individual firm has been started by the Artists
Publishing Co., of which David P. Pringle is
president. Cleveland has never had a perpetual
freE' concert of the latest music published, and it
is with that idea in mind that quarters have
been opened in the musical instrument estab
lishment of H erman Wodika, at 822 Prospect
avenue. This store is unusually well located,
being in the heart of one of the principal busi·
ness avenues of the downtown district, and hav·
ing two entrances, the rear being on Huron
road. Th ese avenues run almost parallel, but it
is a long way around the block for people to
get from on e to the other The Wodika store,
with this change, will be made a veritable ar·
cade, with people using it in going from one
thoroughfare to the other. The business-pulling
power of this feature alone is significant.
In addition, a singer, with megaphone, will
sing rrumbers throughout the day and evening.
Likewise, Mr. Wodika, who conducts several
orchestras in town, plans to have twice-a-week·
concerts by his orchestras, these also playing
