Fine Rockwell Tribute
on Tenth Anniversary
Philadelphia Q R S District Manager Receives
Congratulations From All Sections of the
Country
A novel surprise was a tribute of hundreds
of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington
music dealers on the tenth anniversary of the
date on which Don Rockwell, Philadelphia dis-
Beg Pardon!
In the last issue of The Review it was re-
ported that the M. Schulz Co. had changed the
popular style 30 from the original William and
Mary design to square pilasters and legs. This
was erroneous, however, for the style will con-
tinue to be made in the original design, and
as an added feature will also be made with the
>cpuare pilasters and legs. This will meet the
wide range of demand for this instrument.

Since the Q R S Co. took on the distribution
last Fall of Okeh and Odeon records for sev-
eral States, Rockwell has shown marked results.
He has achieved gratifying results this Spring
in the large volume of sales he has obtained
for the company's portable phonographs; and
now he is anxious for the arrival of the first
sample of the Q R S movie camera and pro-
jector, as he anticipates tremendous activity for
this newest product.
