Months—Many Dealers' Helps Included
The Hearst Music Publishers have planned
most extensive advertising campaigns for the
Spring on their catalog. In addition to national
advertising in magazines: to appeal to the con-
sumers' interest—the dealers will be supplied
with effective ammunition in the form of attrac-

of various descriptions and novelties with appeal
to every variety of taste.

been kept prominent in mind in the designing
of this material and all direct inquiries will be
referred back to the dealers in the various ter-
ritories from which they come," said Mr. Hearst.
"We have found this procedure most construc-
tive, as it insures healthy and enthusiastic repre-
sentation and, of course, successful Hearst deal-
