LYON & HEALY PROVIDES GREAT AID TO DEALERS
Lyon & Healy, Chicago, recently
completed arrangements for a new ^""
regulation size Victrola poster.
This will be, practically, the only
poster of its kind available to Vic-
trola dealers and will be welcomed
by them. While national advertis-
ing by manufacturers can help the
retail merchant to market his stock,
dealer advertising is essential.
Realizing that too often the mer-
chant, though willing, is not in a
position to secure adequate adver-
tising matter in his own town, or,
if he does, pays disproportionate
^*H
prices, Lyon & Healy has prepared :•
a striking poster, 24 sheet size,
which will be ready for delivery
early in November in advance of
the holiday season. The utility of
the advertisement, however, is not
confined to that period. It is of
year round worth, being a very
pleasing composition, printed in six
rich colors on high grade sunproof
paper. The art work is beautiful
and of high order; the treatment, •—
cleverly handled.
The cost of a similar poster, pre-
pared individually by the dealer, would prohibit his
use of it, but Lyon & Healy, running it off in large
quantities, is enabled to offer it to him at a very
low charge. With the dealer's name imprinted upon
the poster it will prove a profitable investment—
It is expected that deliveries will be made early
in November and Lyon & Healy are confident that
the quantity which will be run off will not equal the
calls for the poster. Anticipating a shortage, the
Chicago house is urging dealers to mail in orders
early, since it will be necessary to fill these in order
of receipt.
