Turned Over to Vocation Company, of Chicago.
Under Management of F. W. Clement.
The following has been issued by the Mel-O-Dee
Company, under the head of "Important Announce-
ment":
On December 18th our entire Mel-O-Dee business
here will be turned over to the Vocalion Company
of Chicago.
Following the policy of the Mel-O-Dee Music Com-
pany, Inc., to supply the trade entirely through dis-
tributors and to insure far greater efficiency in con-
nection with deliveries and service, it is indeed with
pleasure that we are able to announce the appoint-
ment of our new distributor here. Although the per-
sonnel of our present organization will practically
remain intact, the program that we have laid down
is indeed an elaborate one for this coining year.
It is a certainty that the new dollar song roll will
continue to show a substantial increase in sales from

us to see how enthusiastic the public have taken to

can look to the new organization to continue the co-
operative policies that have already been established.

moneys due the Mel-O-Dee Music Company, Inc., to

Yours very truly,
