THE SCHULZ & MOENNIG WAY
Accurate Attention to Orders and Prompt Shipments
Are Foremost Policies of Firm.
Schulz & Moennig, Inc., 207 South Wabash ave-
nue, Chicago, is achieving the rewards of unusual
service provided for dealers. The company is a job-
bing house of exclusive musical merchandise of
domestic manufacture and imported. It has the
agency for the distribution of the products of several
manufacturers whose reputation for making the best
is international.
These great advantages of the house are augmented
by its own helpful policies for the dealers and its
prompt methods of attending to orders. That ad-
mirable phase in the daily work of Schulz & Moen-
nig, Inc., is appreciated by the customers of the com-
pany. There is nothing more powerful for the crea-
tion of good-will for a retail music dealer than the
ability to keep faith with his customers and deliver a
purchased article on the day specified. A large and
varied stock clearly catalogued is an assurance to
Schulz & Moennig customers that wants will be sup-
plied accurately and according to the custom of the
house—promptly.
NEW END TRUCK CIRCULAR
Buckeye Sill Truck of the Self-Lifting Piano Truck
Co. Assures Better Service for Dealers.
The new circular of the Self-Lifting Piano Truck*
Co., Findlay, O., is a suggestion to piano dealers to
improve their service. Indeed, it is more than a sug-
gestion, for it so accurately describes the new Buck-
eye Sill Piano Truck that the progressive dealer will
not hesitate to order when he reads about its advan-
tages.
The new Buckeye Sill Piano Truck is for grands
and uprights, and is the best device for stair work
in the market. Its use means betterment of service
for the dealer. It is rebuilt and greatly improved for
longer service in the handles, center rock shaft and
the uprights of both ends.
The Self-Lifting Piano Truck Co. makes eight styles
of end trucks, also piano hoists, covers and specially
made straps. The catalogue of the company is a
good reminder for the piano dealer. Send for one

CHICAGO HARMONICA CONTEST.
The second harmonica contest for pupils of Chi-
cago public schools was held last week. It was just
a year ago that C. H. English, superintendent of rec-
reation of the board of education, organized the first
harmonica contest out in one of the playgrounds on
the northwest side. The players showed considerable
progress in a year. Six superharmonicas were awarded
to the winners.

GET AFTER HOLIDAY SALES!
Circumstances Everywhere Seem Helpful to Dealer
Handling Line of Band and Orchestra Instruments.
The holiday season has always been a time of great
possibilities for the musical merchandise dealer, but
in recent years the dimensions of the opportunity
have become more apparent to the observant men in
the trade. It is no longer a time merely for a stimu-
lated turnover of the smaller articles, it is the chance
of a big time in instruments which amount to money
and assure profits in the sale. Saxophones, banjos
and ukuleles are things that "sell themselves" during
this holiday season and the list may be increased by
the active dealer.
The call for these instruments as well as others
has been more or less spontaneous and continuous all
through the year. It has aided the dealer who
wanted to make more sales in summer, and it aids
him today when he features his goods in a holiday
drive. The dealers' efforts are everywhere supple-
mented by the call for more dance orchestras, by the
familiarizing with musical instruments effected by the
school bands and in other ways. Circumstances seem
to be helping the musical merchandise dealer.
But no matter how favorable the opportunities may
seem, much depends upon the dealer himself. The
natural demand is all the more interesting to him
when he gets his earned share of the business. A
spontaneous business in music goods is profitable
only to the dealer who reaches out for it. This is the
time for the allurements of tempting window dis-
plays and for spirited local advertising that talks
