NEW GENNETT WINNERS
Everybody's Taste Satisfied in the Number Listed in
the Bulletin for November.
The Green Label Gennett record, No. 10065, in the
November bulletin has been received with prompt ap-
proval expressed in sales wherever Gennett records
are offered and demonstrated.
On the new Green Label Record are two songs of
more than ordinary charm have been recorded for
the month of November by Henry Moeller. ''Come
Where My Love Lies Dreaming" is loved by all and
has been a favorite for years, being one ot the bes.t
works of Foster, one of America's most beloved
writers of home songs. "The Sunshine of Your
Smile" although not as old a song as the other has
found a place in the hearts of music lovers the world
over. Tender and beautiful in words and music it
is destined to live forever. Henry Moeller displays
unusual artistry in his supberb interpretation ot
these songs.
In the November bulletin the new Rodeheaver re-
leases are also claiming the attention of a great body
of phonograph owners. Four more numbers ot re-
ligious sentiment—three by Homer Rodeheaver as
solos and one in which Rodeheaver sings with Mrs.
Asher—are rendered in the selfsame compelling man-
ner characteristic of all recordings by these two most
popular of evangelistic singers. Rodeheaver's fol-
lowers who number into the thousands the 'Aorld
over are receiving his new Gennett records with the
greatest acclaim.
New standard selections, popular songs, new Ger-
man and Spanish records and new dance hits make
strong additions to the list of Gennett records.

NOW THE SARRUSOPHONE
C. G. Conn, Ltd., Develops Bass Member of the
Saxophone Family For Orchestras and Bands.
The sarrusophone, in spite of its reptilian-sounding
name, is the appellation of the latest instrument de-
veloped by C. G. Conn, Ltd., Elkhart, Ind., manu-
facturer of orchestra and band instruments.
The sarrusophone, although by no means a new in-
vention, has until now been neglected. The revival
of the sarrusophone, which now appears to be a com-
plete success, was done much the same as the re-
vival of the saxophone, by expert experimentation
by the Conn company.
This new instrument bears the same relation to the
saxophone that the bassoon does to the clarinets of
the woodwind section, being a contra E-flat reed
bass. It is made entirely of metal, and has a much
more powerful and flexible tone than its equivalent
in the woodwind family. The development of the
sarrusophone is said to have cost about $150,000, the
United States government having been interested in
the work.
HELPS DEALER INCREASE TRADE
How Territory May Be Enlarged by Use of Bowen
One-Man Loader and Carrier.
It is the claim of the Bowen Piano Loader Co.,
Winston-Salem, N. C, that the Bowen One-Man
Piano Loader and Carrier increases the business of
the dealer who owns it. The increase, of course, de-
pends upon the energy displayed in using it, but there
is no doubt that the Bowen loader provides the op-
portunity for enlarging the territory of any dealer.
How to increase the radius of his present territory;
how can he serve the prospects in that new territory
without extra expense, and how can he ''beat his com-
petitor" to the new prospect are questions the
answers to which the dealer finds in the Bowen
loader.
The Bowen One-Man Piano Loader and Carrier is
an inexpensive device that makes the showing of
pianos or playerpianos easier. It is what its name
implies. One man can load, unload, or demonstrate
an upright piano or playerpiano without assistance.
This is how the manufacturers describe the device:
''The Bowen One-Man Loader and Carrier is built
of No. 1 yellow poplar, constructed so they will
stand the hardest usage. The regular finish is black,
but on special order we will ship them finished in the
white without extra charge. A new Ford equipped'
with a loader of the latter finish is a most attractive
outfit.
"Guarantees—We do not ship them on approval,
but will refund the money in any case where they do
not prove to be and do all we claim for them, and will
furnish free any part that breaks under fair usage."
In an offer advertised in this issue of Presto this is
the proposition: "Get a Bowen loader. Use it thirty
days and if it hasn't repaid its cost in increased busi-
ness, ship it back and we will give you full credit for
it. You take no risk. Try one."
A RADIO FAILURE.
A petition in bankruptcy was filed recently against
the Radio Winding Corporation, manufacturers and
jobbers of radio supplies, at 154 West Eighteenth
Street, Xew York, by these creditors: Harry B.
Kanter, $143; John Graham, $226; Electric Press As-
sociation, $1,333. The liabilities are given as about
$5,000, and assets about $2,000.
NEW PIANO HAMMER INDUSTRY.

piano industry is that of Vincent Vilim, Greenburgh,
