The Century Music Publishing Co., publisher
of the Century Certified Edition, has arranged a
Century Prize Cup
window display contest, the winners of which
will be awarded four prizes in the form of silver
cups. The contest will be for the best windows
of Century music or title pages, or Century
advertising material. The contest will close
June 30. The first prize, shown herewith, is a
silver cup fifteen inches high, which, of course,
will be suitably engraved with the winning
store's name. Displays are to appear for at
least seven consecutive days and original ideas
in layout and designs will be considered first.
The Century Music Publishing Co. will furnish
gratis display matter so that all dealers may
take part.
/ L. G. Battin, sales manager of the Century
Music Publishing Co., states the prizes were
appropriated for the purpose of raising the
standard, if possible, of sheet music displays in
general, and, of course, Century in particular.
