APPEALS TO RIGHT PEOPLE.
Huckin's Music House, Trenton, Mo., is widely
known as a firm which strives to give excellent
values in pianos and players. It creates the right
impression by good advertising. Here's an appeal
printed this week: "To the music lover—and the
term, in this cultured age includes almost everyone
—nothing can bring greater enjoyment in propor-
tion to money invested, than a good piano or player-
piano. From the time of its inception, generations
ago, the pianoforte has ever been the popular uni-
versal medium for the expression of music. Nothing
else can equal its artistic possibilities, its permanent
pleasures, its refining influences. Other forms of
music may have their vogue, but the piano will
always maintain its supremacy in the homes and
hearts of the general public."

RECENT COMER CARRIES
OFF SALESMANSHIP HONORS
Douglas Daniels Carries Off First Honors for Balti-
more and Washington Knabe Stores.
The May contest in the Baltimore and Wash-
ington stores of Knabe Warerooms, Inc., was the
mostly hotly contested fight between the salesmen
in the two stores of which J. H. Williams is presi-
dent.
The race was pretty even up to the last four days
when Douglas Daniels made an extra spurt and
wound up the month as high man. Mr. Daniels is
being congratulated by his friends.
He has been in the piano business only six
months. Is a young man 28 years of age. Before
joining the sales force of Knabe Warerooms, Inc.,
he sold automobiles in Pittsburgh. Was born in
Shepherdstown, W. Va., attending the State Normal
School there.
Last month's first prize was won by a Baltimore
man. The Washington force made up their minds
that honors would come to Washington for May.
In the year ending March 31, 1920, the United
State? exported to Canada pianos, talking machines
and talking machine records to the amount of $3,-
240.600, as against $2,403,000 for the corresponding
twelve months previous.
