J. B. White & Co., Augusta, Ga., Uses
3 Musettes in Impressive Window Display
An interesting window display which
attracted considerable attention was fea-
tured recently in one of the windows of
J. B. White & Co., in Augusta, Ga., cre-
ated by Lee S. Jones who manages the
piano department for that store. In this
impressive but simple display, three of
the newly-styled Winter & Co. Musettes
were used—the French Provincial in
cherry, the Louis XV in mahogany and
the Contemporary model also in ma-
hognay.
Added to the setting was the casual
application of a parchment attached to
the piano's front panel, which read "A
pleasure to behold—a treasure to cher-
ish—a ne piano." Counter cards also
featuring a small message invited added
pause to the customer's eye.

Hammond Organ Company's October
and November sales were the highest
in the company's 26-year history, Lau-
rens Hammond, president, told stock-
holders in a letter accompanying the
55th consecutive quarterly dividend,
amounting to 85 cents a share, of which
50 cents was extra and 35 cents regular.
Earnings for the first six months,
ended Sept. 30, 1954, were $1,176, 242
or $1.98 a share against $1,141,535 or
Si.53 a share in the like period of last
year. The letter expressed confidence
that net earnings for the 1954-55 fiscal
year would exceed those of 1953-54
which were a record of $3.35 a share.
"Record sales of October and No-
vember," reported Mr. Hammond, "con-
firmed our expectations of very good
sales this autumn." After citing a re-
duction in billings between the first six
months of the fiscal year, ended March
31, 1953, and the same fiscal period of
1954, Mr. Hammond said that a seasonal
pattern in the company's business had
revealed itself in a dramatic fashion
this fall.
"Our production," explained Mr.
Hammond, "continues without material
or personnel problems of a serious na-
ture.
