Music for Supper Dance of Employes' Association
of Sherman, Clay & Co. Good Advertisement.
One of the most potent bits of advertising that
could be devised for the musical merchandise depart-
ment of Sherman, Clay & Co., Portland, Ore., was
presented at the recent supper dance of the Employes'
Association of the company, held in the recital hall
in connection with the store. The fine bit of publicity
was the playing of the seven-piece orchestra com-
posed of performers from the piano, musical mer-
chandise and sheet music departments.
The clever artists were: G. H. Feese, cornet; T. C.
Tower, violin; P. S. Smith, saxophone; John Stewart
Scrivens, banjo; Lloyd Creighton, drums; Clyde
Cirueel, violin, and Maud McCauley, Airs. P. S.
