plays are always essential and necessary to
draw the people in to the store. A great deal
of thought should be given to the changing
of the windows frequently."
The sheet music and musical instrument de-
partment of the Loomis Temple of Music is
managed by the energetic hustler, Casper Met-
tler, who has been connected with the Loomis
house since 1910. Casper's slogan is "keep on
plugging and do at least one cross-word puzzle
a day." In Mr. Mettler's music department a
customer will find every requirement—classical
music, a full line of library editions, the needs
of the music school teacher and student, as well
as the current hits. The "Dustlcss" twins, Jack
Hoxie and Arthur Cooper, are Mr. Mettler's
assistants. Casper is also known to be quite
a hiker. During my last visit to New Haven,
after we had finished our business, Casper in-
vited me to take a long walk with him which
pleased me very much. We started off for the
residential part of the city—by the way, Cas-
per's stride is not quite as long as mine. After
we had walked about a mile Casper began to
feel tired, fatigued—and out of breath. He said:
"Do you always walk as fast as this, Maurice?"
"Yes," I said, "and faster when I am alone."
"Gee," said Casper, "I wouldn't want to walk
with you when you're alone."
Landay Bros., Inc.
I.anday l'>ri>^., Inc., whose main office is in
New York, operates several stores in surround-
ing cities and has a very attractive establish-
ment in New Haven. Michael Sloane is the
manager. The slogan is "Everything in Music."
Mr. Sloane reports business as O. K. in capital
letters. Miss A. Halpin, a busy lady, displays
a great deal of efficiency in looking after the
sheet music and player-roll departments. While
in Landay's a tall, handsome, dark-eyed sales-
man carried away a large order for the United
States Music Roll Co. This pleasant chap was
Jordan N. Cohen, the New England representa-
tive of the United States Roll Co. He reports
business as excellent.
Mr. Sloane's youngster was in the store dur-
ing my visit and I asked the child: "What do
you do when your mother refuses to give you
ice cream i" "I scream," was the answer.
DEALERS
e^
The M. Steinert & Sons Co. was first estab-
lished by Morris Steinert in 1865. This con-
cern operates twenty stores throughout the New
England States. Rudolph Steinert is the presi-
dent; Alexander Steinert, manager and treas-
urer; Robert Steinert, secretary, and Albert
Steinert, vice-president. The main offices are
in Boston, Mass. The feature pianos of this
house are the Steinway and the Steinert, as well
as the Jewett and entire Aeolian line. In the
music department it carries a selective stock of
the requirements of the public. The young man
temporarily in charge, H. J. Morse, appeared to
be very optimistic about the business in that
department.
Through no fault of the publisher, the SOUL;
"Follow the Swallow" received quite a boost
the day 1 was in New Haven. Just after leav-
ing the Loomis Temple of Music, on Chapel
street, on my way to the station a lot of college
boys were parading and singing that popular
song, "Follow the Swallow." They followed
the leader so that they could join in the "swal- .
low" of a quart bottle of "Haig & Haig," dis-
played quite prominently.
A. B. Clinton Co.
The A. B. Clinton Co. has been in business
in New Haven for many years. Mr. Clinton is
very active in the business, right on the floor
supervising all the details. The establishment
has a good location in the business section of
the city. It carries practically everything in
music. Charles Rapelye is in charge of the
musical instruments, as well as the music de-
partment.
Little Music Shop
Charles F. Smith conducts the Little Music
Shop at 45 ("enter street. He is one of the
best-known and most popular boss in tin- city
of New Haven, having been identified in musi-
cal circles for thirty years. "Charlie," as he is
known to everybody, is the coach of the Yale
College Band and the president of the Second
Regiment Band of Connecticut. Charlie's shop
is little, but oh, my! It is really a hang-out
for all the musicians. Whether it is a wedding,
a banquet or private musicale, or need of a
jazz band, Charlie is the boy who can furnish
the outfit. He has a splendid reputation in the

trade and his friends wish him lots of success
in his newly opened Little Music Shop. While
Charlie is not really a youngster, he says: "No
one is really old until he admits it." He claims
talking too much means exertion and waste of
energy—so what's the use? Although some
men get more mileage out of their gall than
out of their intellect. Strange as it may seem,
Mr. Smith has been selling quite a few harps
lately. He can only account for it by the reports
that the end of the world is coming on February
6, and evidently some people want to be pre-
pared.
