"It's a peach of a plan," said one of them.
"If I were a music merchant," said another,
''I'd jump at the opportunity to use this plan."
Every brain cell in this organization is
working eight hours a day to help the mer-
chants win out.
Our idea of helping the merchant sell more
instruments is not the orthodox one either:
fact is we may as well plead guilty to being
a little bit cranky on the subject of dealer

write you, we'll be glad to send
a business man to tell you ex-
