HARTMAN COMPOSES NEW
SONG FOR COLLEGE
Something About a Member of the Arranging Staff
of the Clark Orchestra Roll Co.
William Hartman, well-known composer and
arranger of music, has written both words and music
to a new school song entitled "College Days."
This composition was presented by Mr. Hartman
to The Northern Illinois State Teachers' College at
Delvalb, 111., and was an outstanding feature in a
recent campus concert held at the school.
He is on the arranging staff of the Clark Orchestra
Roll Company.
In point of service he is one of the pioneers of the
music roll industry. He started arranging music rolls
for the Adek Manufacturing Co. in New York city,
in 1898. Was sent to London, England, in 1902. The
name of the firm was changed to The Imperial Music
Roll Co. While there he wrote many light classic

and popular pieces.
One march, "Prince of
Asturias," was dedicated to the king of Spain. At the
time of the king's marriage, Sir Thomas Lipton pre-
sented the king and queen with a Pianola, and the
Imperial Player Roll Co. presented them with a roll
of this march mounted on a silver spool and enclosed
in a silver box.
Festival of Empire, another march, was played at
the exhibition in London, and dedicated to the Earl
of Plymouth. Studied at the Guildhall School of
Music, in London, England, and was assistant con-
ductor at one of the large theaters there. Was sent
to Toronto, Canada, as manager in 1911. The Cable
Co. of Chicago purchased the plant in 1914 and he
went to Chicago as recording manager and head of
the arranging department.
From 1923 to 1926 he was with the QRS Co.
as manager of the Recordo department. From 1927
to the present date with Clark Orchestra Roll Co. of
De Kalb. Within the last few years he has written
quite a few numbers, of which Coast to Coast, Air
Pilot, Cherished Memories, and Forest Frolics are
the best sellers.
The Allgood Music Co., at Rockmart, Ga., has
moved into new salesrooms.

Sales and Representation.
Wherever the M. Schulz Co. piano goes it makes
friends and draws out a string of followers. One
sale makes several others and old friends never drop
connection with the company's representatives.
The Schulz pianos are ordered by letter and wire—
occasionally a customer drops in by airplane to place
an order. Traveling representatives of the company
take orders and air-mail letters and those delivered by
special delivery postoffice employes bring in more.
The anxiety to get more pianos quickly from the
M. Schulz Co. is manifest in a letter which a Presto-
Times man begged the privilege of reproducing here,
and we present it without apology to its writer, but
rather as a compliment to him. Here it is:
