COLUMBIA DEALERS MEET
Indiana Trade Have Pleasurable and Profitable
Time at Trade Gathering.
The Indiana dealers of Columbia Graphophones
and records met in the Anthony Hotel, Fort Wayne,
recently. The meeting was one in which the sales
forces from over the state exchanged ideas and
views upon the best methods of advertising and
salesmanship. H. S. Binger, state representative of
the company had charge of the program and he
himself spoke before the gathering.
"Columbia Advertising; How it Can Bring You
Rigger Returns," was the subject of an address
delivered by A. J. Tucker, a man who has had con-
siderable experience in the advertising field and
who is familiar with the various forms of advertis-
ing. J. Kapp, in charge of the Chicago branch of-
fice, spoke on "Selling Columbia Records.'
A special and interesting feature of the program
was an address delivered by Miss Genevieve Quealy,
of New York, who spoke on "The Grafonola in the
School, and What it Means to you," K. Mill, man-
ager of the Columbia company gave an address on
"The 1920 Plan for Columbia Merchandise."
The meeting was one of special interest to those
who are associated with the company and doubt-
lessly brought out points which will be of vast as-
sistance in promoting the sales of the Graphophone
and records.
