slogan and so arranged that the}' may be used
by manufacturers, jobbers and dealers in all the
lines of the industry.
So far seven varieties of design have been
prepared including a general symbol for the
use of associations, clubs, societies, etc., and
other symbols presenting the piano, the violin,
the saxophone, etc., and appropriate for use by
those officially concerned in presentation of
such instruments. The several symbols repro-
duced herewith give a general idea of the
character of the designs.
Material Available
For the convenience of the trade, and particu-
larly the dealers who arc depended upon to
give the slogan wide circulation, there have
been prepared by the committee stereotypes,
blocked and unblocked, stickers, rubber stamps,
and colored display cards all carrying the gen-
eral design. The stereotypes are furnished in
three sizes, one inch at 18 cents each; one inch
and a half at 22 cents; and two inches at 26
cents. Stickers are furnished at 80 cents a
thousand; rubber stamps at 50 cents each and
the colored display cards at 10 cents each, al-

Co-operation Needed
It is up to every member of the trade to give
this official slogan of the music business the
widest possible scope of distribution, spreading
its message into every nook and corner of the
land.
There are numerous ways in which the slogan
can be used and very efficiently exploited, sonic
of which are listed in preceding paragraphs of
this article.
All of the designs can and should be used in
this promotional campaign, in which every
music merchant the country over should parti-

and only through this means that the most
