Knight-Campbell Music Company had the following
to say in one of its newspaper ads: "Parents.—Talk
over your child's music needs with your music
teacher and school. They have helped hundreds—
they can help you. In the interest of your children,
do this TODAY—do not wait. We are in close
touch with all members of the C. S. M. T. A. in
Denver and throughout the state. We will be glad
to confer with any parent regarding the work of
these . teachers and schools."
TRADE IMPROVEMENT
NOTED IN COLORADO
Opinion of the Music Merchants Generally
Throughout the State Is That Lively
Business Is at Hand.
Business is getting off to a good start in Denver
and other parts of Colorado, according to musical
instrument merchants. They point to the fact that
business in general in Denver during January set
the pace for a business year of record-breaking pro-
portions. During the first thirty-one days of 1929
bas : c industries swung into a business stride that
augurs well for the remaining eleven months of the
year.
Last week Anton Frankenburg, vice-president of
the Silver State Music Company of Pueblo, Colo.,
died at his home in that city after a short illness.
Mr. Frankenburg was not only prominent in the
musical instrument industry of the state, but also
well known in the mining industry, being general
manager of the Modoc Mining & Milling Co.
One of the noteworthy indications of a Denver
firm's growth is the announcement of the expansion
program of the Western Radio Company at 150
Broadway. This company has enlarged their store
room and will devote the space to the installation
of a complete and up-to-date music store.
Announcement of its policy with regard to certain
forms of advertising media has been made by the
solicitations committee of the Denver Chamber of
commerce to musical instrument merchants and other
members of the organization. The purpose of the
com nittee is to make recommendations to the mem-
bers of the chamber upon miscellaneous financial
contributions solicited of businessmen. The commit-
tee has announced that it is opposed to taking of
advertising under the guise of charity; the test should
be always the value of the advertising. The com-
mittee has also announced that it recommends to
members that all telephone solicitations be refused.
C. E. Picklum, who operates a phonograph and
radio store in Ordway, Colo., has installed a new
enclosed truck for his business. Tt is a fully en-
closed type body and carries the firm's name.

ciation held its convention in Denver recently the

SELL ARTISTS' USED PIANOS
A window display that has proved a big attraction
on Wabash avenue the past two weeks is that of the
Baldwin I'iano Co., 323 South Wabash avenue, Chi-
cago, in which many photographs of artists of the
Chicago Civic Opera Company are shown with scenes
of various operas. The display is made in connection
with the annual artists' used piano sale. The exhibit
has created so much interest that the company is
holding it over for a longer period. A large card
states that every piano is personally autographed by
the artist and a picture of the artist that used the
piano will be given free with the purchase of the
instrument.

BACK FROM SUCCESSFUL TRIP
F. W. Barnholdt, Capehart Sales Manager for Central
District, Visits Dealers in Three States.
F. W. Barnholdt, sales manager of the Capehart
Automatic Phonograph Corp., Huntington, Ind., re-
turned to his office in the Lyon & Healy Building,
Chicago, from a successful road trip in which he
covered the principal cities in the states of Wisconsin,
Michigan and Ohio. Mr. Barnholdt is enthusiastic
over the reception given him by music dealers, but
found it necessary to return after a ten-day tour in
order to be present at the operators' convention at the
Great Northern Hotel, Chicago.
Mr. Barnholdt when interviewed by a Presto-Times
representative expressed himself as being well satis-
fied with progress made by the Capehart Automatic
instrument.
"Dealers are beginning to realize the importance
of the Capehart instrument, its wonderful possibilities
and the profit it affords. It is not a side line propo-
sition because of its importance in music circles and
the wide field it covers."
The factory at Huntington, Ind., is operating at
capacity limit to supply present orders and in antici-
pation of a large volume of future business.
TO BROADCAST DINNER-DANCE.
A feature of the annual dinner-dance of the Talking
Machine & Radio Men, Inc., to be held April 1 at
the Hotel Commodore, New York, will be the broad-
casting of a period in the festivities. Committees
were named at a meeting held at the Advertising
Club, New York, last week whose duties will be to
work up the details of the function.
FIRE LOSS IN CHICAGO.
A fire last week in the State and Lake Building,
Chicago, caused a loss of $50,000 from fire and
smoke to the Lyons Band Instrument Co. A for-
gotten blowtorch left by a janitor who had been
thawing out radiators, is believed to have ignited
the wainscoting in the office of the salesroom.
