To Buy A Piano?
We've taken an Informal survey and

and it should create a lot of neighbor-
hood good will.
The company has also considerel the
possibilities of interesting and unusual
window displays. It is currently plan-
ning a window on the theme of: "Yes
—You HAVE Room For a Piano!"
and will set about proving this with
diagrammed floor-plan arrangements of
typical small living rooms which will
clearly indicate how a spinet or console
can be included.
All of the Murray-Collins advertis-
ing, publicity and merchandising is
aimed at making Detroiters first, more
piano-conscious; and second, Murray-
Collins-conscious! Results seem to in-
dicate the increasing success of these
aims.
Westinghouse Announces
European Tour for Dealers
Hundreds of Westinghouse Televi-
sion-Radio dealers from all over Amer-
ica will visit Paris, Nice, Cannes, the
Riviera and Rome this Spring as
guests of Westinghouse on an air voy-
age titled the Westinghouse "European
Holiday," it was announced recently
by T. J. Newcomb, recently appointed
manager of the Television-Radio Divi-
sion, Westinghouse Electric Corp.
Dealers will be transported to the
Continent in luxurious Stratocruiser
planes and conducted on planned tours
of internationally famous pleasure
spots on the continent during the two-
week, all-expense paid "European Holi-
day," Mr. Newcomb said.
Westinghouse dealers in more than
100 distribution areas throughout the
nation already have qualified as winners
in the Westinghouse "European Holi-
day" contest.
On the basis of early contest results,
distributors expect a complete sell-out
of the allotted 450 two-week vacation
trips. Westinghouse has contracted with
Sabena Air Lines to carry the contest
winners abroad. Many dealers have in-
dicated that they will take their wives
and other members of their families
along with them provided they can earn
enough contest credit points.
