JUNE AUTOMATIC MUSIC
Big List of Rolls for Electric Piano Orches-
trions and Organs Issued by the
Automatic Music Roll Co.
The Automatic Music Roll Co., Chicago, has issued
its June bulletin of music for electric pianos,
orchestrions and organs—Seeburg specials, rolls with
snap and pep, the kind that get the nickels into the
instrument.
For all standard 65-note rewind coin-operated
pianos, also Seeburg styles A, B, C, E, F, K, P, G,
A and L there are many new rolls provided including
latest radio successes, dance sensations and stage
hits. A new Cuban and Mexican roll are among the
series.
Twelve irresistible rolls are included in the presenta-
tions for Seeburg styles G, K and T orchestrions,
and styles P, O and W motion-picture players. The
offerings include radio successes, dance hits, waltzes
and "ebony tunes." Roll No. G-740 is a sample of
the line of rolls for the instruments named. It
contains the snappiest of the hits.
For Seeburg orchestrions, styles J and H, new
styles W and M, S, and R pipe organ-orchestra
there are six new rolls including two rolls of best
sellers. These rolls will play all orchestrion effects
except organ on styles M, S and R.
The peppiness of the rolls may be judged from the
contents of roll No. H-930, Broadway's popular ten:
Cheatin' On Me, fox trot; Suite 16, fox trot; A Waltz
In the Moonlight, waltz; If I Had My Old-Time
Sweethearts, fox trot; I'll Take Her Back If She
Wants to Come Back, fox trot; My Tipperary Rose,
waltz; We're Back Together Again, one-step; Titina,
fox trot; Keep Smiling at Trouble, fox trot; When I
Think of You, fox trot.
For Seeburg styles S, M, R, T, V and A dc luxe
pipe organ orchestras, hand-played organ rolls, six
new rolls are provided in the June list. Here are the
contents of some of them: Roll No. MSR-940, organ

DEALER OPENS BRANCH STORE
Charles Mehr, Birmingham, Ala., in Store No, 2,
Shows Fine General Stock.
In 1918 Charles Mehr came from Philadelphia to
Birmingham, Ala., with a few dollars in his pocket
and a determination to make good in the growing
metropolis of the south. Choosing the music busi-
ness as his career, he worked as a clerk in a local
music house and gained experience to work out his
ideas, says the Birmingham Age-Herald.
Buying a little stock he started a small music store
across from The Age-Herald building. By dint of
hard labor and perseverance in the face of obstacles,
he built, step by step, and enlarged his stock as he
prospered.
This year his business had grown to such an extent
that he was compelled to seek more room or open a
new store. Having confidence in the future of the
Magic City he decided to open the new store and
grow with Birmingham.
Saturday Mr. Mehr's music store No. 2 was opened
at 404 North Twentieth street with a large stock of
records, toys, party favors, sheet music and musical
instruments, as well as a complete line of novelties.
It is a clean, new stock. Men of Mr. Mehr's type
who have grit, perseverance and thrift are the back-
bone of the business world and such men are needed
to build the south and make its foundation solid.
CLEO STRINGS SELL.
Cleo musical strings will soon be on sale in the
leading cities of Japan, according to S. Simon, Chi-
cago, manufacturer of the Cleo line of wound and
gut strings, who recently received an inquiry from
a prominent jobber of Kobe, Japan. On a recent trip
from which Mr. Simon returned last week he placed
the Cleo line with a number of progressive dealers
and booked a lot of business.
A KILN DRYING COURSE.
Men from piano plants were among the nineteen
from other wood-using industries who attended the
recent instructional course in kiln drying of lumber
at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison,
Wis. The next course will be given in September,
enrollments for which are now being booked.
