ers. For May, 1924, the total was $25,105. The

C. H. TAYLOR & CO. REMOVAL.
In connection with the steady growth of their
business C. H. Taylor & Co., Chicago, have found it
necessary to move from their former location, 218
South Wabash avenue, to 228 South Wabash avenue,
where they have secured larger floor space on the
ground floor. In this connection it can be said that
the company has invested $60,000 more in musical
merchandise, and will now carry in stock everything
from violin strings to pipe organs. The new loca-
tion consists of first floor, balcony and very large
basement. There is a much larger amount of space
now available and the same policy, that of whole-
saling and retailing all kinds of musical merchandise,
will be continued. The new store was formally
opened on July 27 and made a fine impression on the
public.
RADIO DEALERS MEET.
A meeting of the Radio Dealers' Association of
America, a newly formed body of radio dealers, met
at the Hotel Sherman Monday night last. The radio
dealers are also troubled by the "gyp" crowd as
well as by the "bait" dealers and they are trying
to get rid of them. One of the principal things
considered at the Monday night meeting was how
to protect the dealer and public against questionable
practices in distribution of radio goods by "gyp"
jobbers.

FEATURING Q R S ROLLS IN SAN ANTONIO
COLUMBIA PROGRESS SHOWN
Second Annual Exposition Held Under Bridgeport
Chamber of Commerce a Great Success.
;i
Here's an attractive window of Thomas Goggan
& Bros., San Antonio. Tex. The Q R S Girl was
much in evidence and the special rolls were featured
with dark blue cardboard with orange lettering.
Along with the window as a couple-up, the company
sent out a postal card featuring these and other rolls,
among them the three latest Q R S recordings by
Harry Snodgrass, "King of the Ivories."
Miss Louise Pinto, the wide awake roll department
manager of the San Antonio firm, said: "It brought
customers into our department who had not been in
for two years at least."
The facts arc that even in summer time you can
sell rolls if you go after it in the right way, and they
know and do the right way at Goggan's.
BRITISH TAKE ACTION.
At the recent annual convention held in Llandudno,
Wales, the British Association of Piano Supply
Houses unanimously adopted the resolution to have
the words "British Made" cast upon the frame of
every British-made piano. The association was
moved to the action by the unfair trading methods
of retailers with pianos made in central Europe and
stamped with fictitious names.
The second annual Progress Exposition held in
Bridgeport, Conn., the home town of the Columbia
Phonograph Company, Inc., recently, was given
under the auspices of the Bridgeport Chamber of
Cemmerce and co-operating organizations of the city,
and proved a success from every standpoint.
In the Columbia Phonograph Company's booth
1 he current Columbia Phonograph and Columbia
New Process Records w r ere featured and demonstra-
tions were given. A beautifully lettered show card
announced a list of the dealers in the sales territory
showing where the company's products could be
obtained so that the sales angle was not over-
looked during the exposition.
A display stand in the front of the booth con-
tained an exhibition of the various processes through
which a record passes from the time the master rec-
ord is made. At the sides of this exposition samples
of the record dies and sheets of labels were shown
as well as samples of the record stock material to-
gether with a row of bottles in which samples of
the various ingredients used to produce a record
were shown. Another interesting feature of the dis-
play was the series of Masterworks Album Sets of
complete symphonies recorded by world famed mu-
sical organizations.
The display also contained two historical exhibits,
one the "Treadle Graphophone," one of the first
types of talking machines made by the Columbia
organization in 1888. The second exhibit showed the
kind of records made by Columbia in 1898—the large
cylinder ''Graphophone Grand" record. The contrast
between the 1925 models and the If88 models were
very interesting and showed the wonderful progress
that has been made in talking machines since they
were first invented.
MISBRANDING OF WOODS.
The Federal Trade Commission has issued com-
plaints against designating certain kinds of woods,
"Philippine mahogany," which do not belong to any
species of mahogany. The commission terms the use
of the description an unfair method of competition
with those who handle real mahogany.
