FARMER'S MUSICAL BOYS
Manufacturers of
Michigan Fruit-Grower Buys Martin Instruments for
Sons Inspired by Radio Concerts.
Piano Bass Strings
2009-2021 CLYBOURN AVENUE
Corner Lewis Street
CHICAGO
The part of radio in developing the universal love
of music which only awaits awakening is illustrated
by the following experience:
A farmer, a fruit grower from Michigan, walked
into the offices of the Martin Band Instrument Com-
pany, Elkhart, Indiana, not long ago, and announced
that he wanted to buy three Martin instruments.
The man's apparent occupation in life and the unusual
number of instruments asked for stimulated the inter-
est of Fred A. Holtz, sales manager, who took per-
sonal charge of the transaction.
"They're for my boys," the farmer explained.
"They're all excited about music. It's the radio, you
know."
The imagination of these youngsters had been in-
flamed by the concerts they heard over their radio set.
January 26, 1924.
Waltz, Impromptu in A flat, Liszt (Augusta Tollef-
sen); What Do You Do Sunday, Mary? (from
"Poppy"), fox trot with words, Caesar and Jones

LUDWIG DRUMS IN DEMAND
Chicago Factory with New Addition and Increased
Facilities Active in Production of Fine Drums.
The Ludwig Drum Mfg. Co., 1611 N. Lincoln
street, Chicago, which recently moved in its new
addition, providing greater facilities for the efficient
production of its products, has found that the Janu-
ary demand is far better than expected. It is gen-
erally conceded that January is a bad month, but not
with the Ludwig company. The Ludwig products
were much sought after last year and in view of this
fact and the stability of present trade conditions the
company expects a bigger and better business this
year.
The Ludwig drum has made a distinct impression
in the trade. The paramount thought with the Lud-
wig company is to produce drums of character and
quality that will please the most discriminate
customer.

WAYS TO PHONOGRAPH SALES
They Are Many and Different in Their Potency to
Effect Highly Desirable End.
The means for increasing sales in talking machines
arc similar to those available for improving sales in
any other lines of musical merchandise. But thanks
to the special aids provided by manufacturers of
talking machines for their dealers, the opportunities
for the talking machine seems greater. The efforts
for the records are also efforts for the machines and
the results in talking machine sales of any house are
dependent on the intensity of the work in record
selling.
As a standing, all the year 'round bit of advice,
dealers are advised to circularize continuously. The
town-wide canvass in which the telephone and tele-
phone directory are used to good advantage is recom-
mended for its effectiveness. But in any kind of
canvass of a territory the dealer should use dis-
crimination in selecting the prospects. In the indis-
criminate use of literature and time is the possibility
of wasted efforts.
A good way to find buyers of new machines is to
lind the owner of old models and go after them
with the same energy expended on people without
machines. There are a variety of ways to compile a
list of old model owners. Inquiry from new pur-
chasers usually results in additions 'to the prospect
list. The buyers of records provide the salesman
or saleswoman with the means of much promising
information for the salesmen in the talking machine
department. The piano tuner and the repairman can
locate the old models and perhaps drop preliminary
suggestions leading to consideration of a new talking
machine. But the ways are many and the means
unending for the enthusiastic dealer with talking
machines to sell.
