ap-
The Baldwin Travelers' National Contest is
proaching a strong finish after the effort of six months
on the part of contestants. In a poster sent to the
trade this is said:
The end of the six months national contest for
Baldwin travelers is in sight. Sales and cash sales
are the things that count. From coast to coast the
representatives of the great Baldwin factories are
thinking—planning—working day and night to help
their dealers sell more pianos in order to win the
great race.
The track is fast. Splendid business conditions
prevail. Leaders of industry everywhere say we are
on the threshold of unprecedented prosperity. Pros-
pects feel good. Everyone who wants to work has a
good job—and that means able to buy a piano. So
then—up and at 'em while things are right. The
business is there if you go after it. You might as
well have the sale as to let your competitor have it.
tls up to you, Mr. Baldwin Dealer. Just a little
extra effort—one more night spent in calling on your
prospects may get that additional business needed to
win the prize for your Baldwin traveler—and the best
of it all is that this business will mean just that much
more profit for you. Here's to the biggest Christmas
business in history. Let's go!
The poster contains the portraits of the following
Baldwin travelers:
W. E. Cooper, W. A. Smith, W. E. Brown, O. A.
Berger, Carl Veatch, T. H. Schroeder, L. A. Dunway,
H. E. Raines, A. M. Lansford, L. G. Huffman, I. M.

HELPS WINTER SALES.
The dealer who keeps pursuing the piano prospect
in winter is best equipped when he travels with a
Bowen Loader attached to his Ford. The new "23"
Model Bowen Loader, made by the Bowen Piano
Loader Co., Winston-Salem, N. C, is particularly
worthy of the attention of the piano dealer at this
time. It is foolproof and indestructible and the price
is an alluring feature of the commodity. The quoted
figure includes an extra good moving cover. The
company agrees to ship on approval to the hesitat-
ing dealer who may test out its claims to usefulness
and return it if he doesn't like it. With the Bowen
Loader the work of two men is performed by one.
By aid of a simple device the piano is loaded or un-
loaded in a few minutes. By the aid of the Bowen
Loader the salesman performs his own loading and
unloading without drudgery.
