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
