AN L,. BAMBERGER & CO.'S WINDOW.
That proper display is as important in the sale of
band instruments as for any other type of merchan-
dise is the belief of L. Bamberger & Company, of
Newark, N; J. According to officials of the Bam-
berger Company, much of their success has been due
to proper display and merchandising methods.
"Our first aim is to represent only products of the
highest quality and of known merit," said one official,
"and then we leave no stone unturned in bringing that
product before our public and creating desire and de-
mand for it. It is our firm belief that goods properly
displayed sell much more readily than those that are
shown in unattractive manner and this rule applies as
forcibly to band instruments as it does to silk
dresses."
As representatives of Martin Handcraft band in-
struments, L. Bamberger & Company are bringing
to the selling of these famous instruments the same
aggressive merchandising methods that have been
such an important factor in the building up of their
gigantic general business. And here, again, their
policy of "securiiig products of the highest quality
and bringing that product forcefully before the pub-
lic," bids fair to win an unusual degree of success.
