The continuous growth of sheet music sales natur-
ally has stimulated the business of the sheet music
printer. And with a progressive printer like Rayner,
Dalheim & Co., 2054-2060 West Lake street, Chicago,
the stimulation is apparent in every department of the
busy shop. The company prints anything and every-
thing in music and work is done by all processes re-
quired by the publisher.
The abilities of Rayner, Dalheim & Co. to do good
work promptly is something that concerns the music
dealer and composer as well as the music publisher.
The company's methods give every composer the op-
portunity to be his own publisher. The advantages
proffered by the Chicago music printers should en-
courage the music dealer anywhere to be of use to
the ambitious musicians in his community to put their
compositions into print.
In nearly every community are musicians who have
expressed their genius in a song or piece of music.
They often are too modest to think of publishing even
the most meritorious efforts. But a word of encour-
agement from an observant dealer may save to the
world some really meritorious composition.

TO MAKE EDISON RADIO
Beginning Dec. 1, Facilities of the Splitdorf Corp.
Will Be Employed on Edison Product.
Thos. A. Edison, Tnc, has acquired a financial in-
terest in the Splitdorf Radio Corp., and the facilities
of the Splitdorf Corp. will in future be employed with
the Thos. A. Edison, Inc., plant primarily for the
manufacture of radio apparatus for the latter com-
pany, and the marketing of Splitdorf radio apparatus
discontinued.
Chas. Edison, president of Thos. A. Edison, Inc.,
becomes chairman of the board of the Splitdorf Radio
Corp., Walter Rautenstrauch and Donald Ross will
continue as president and vice-president and secre-
tary respectively. Arthur L. Walsh and Ralph H.
Allen, both vice-presidents of Thos. A. Edison, Inc ,
will become vice-president in charge of sales and vice-
president in charge of finance and operation, respec-
tively. H. F. Hiller, treasurer of Thos. A. Edison,
Inc., will become treasurer of the Splitdorf Corp.,
and Henry Lanahan, general counsel of all the Edison
industries, will become general counsel for the Split-
dorf Corp. The finances of the Splitdorf Radio Corp.
will come under the control of a newly created finance
committee, consisting of Chas. Edison, Ralph H. Allen
and Donald Ross, the latter vice-president of the
Splitdorf Industries. This committee will also act
in the same capacity for the Splitdorf-Bethlehem
Electric Co., the parent company of all Splitdorf
interests.
Radio may "sell itself" but a
little featuring by the dealer can
impress the prospective customers
to a great extent. Every radio
manufacturer has some merit in
h!s product that, in his opinion,
claims the attention of the radio
set buyer, so that any means to
draw the prospect's attention to
the particular feature, is welcomed
by the manufacturer. The Zenith
Radio Corp., Chicago, is always
keen for the opportunity to im-
press the public with the merits of
the automatic tuning device and
opportunity for that purpose is
seen in the window displays of

throughout the country.
