AN ANNOYING BLUNDER
Mistake in Headline in Last Week's Presto Substi-
tuted Other Name for the Martin.
An error in a headline in last week's Presto badly
mixed the names of two prominent band instrument
industries. The heading was intended to introduce
the fact that Director "Stubby" Gordon of the Hanna
Jazz Band, Cleveland, Ohio, which has achieved great
popularity, is using the Martin Handcraft Band
Instruments.
By some unaccountable slip the name of quite an-
other band instrument industry was substituted in the
heading of the article for that of the Martin. One
Presto reader on discovering the error wrote: "Read
that item again and then go out and shoot somebody
in the foot."
The office feeling is more like getting a howitzer
and blowing the editorial head off. In any event the
Martin Band Instruments are too well known to per-
mit of a headline blunder's doing any lasting harm,
but Presto apologizes, just the same.
Charles S. Andrews has opened a music store at
211 North Tryon street, Charlotte, N. C.
