A BEAUTIFUL PRESENT IS
"THE SILENT SALESMAN"
McMackin Piano Service Sends Out Sample Boxes
of Work It Is Doing in Key Coloring.
Presto-Times acknowledges the receipt of a new
box of sample work from the McMackin Piano Serv-
ice, Des Moines, Iowa, which shows what the shop
is putting out in the way of recovering piano keys.
This lay-out is called "The Silent Salesman."
The company has 2,000 of these boxes to send out
and President L. E. McMackin is very desirous for
those interested to write to him for one of them, but
does not care to mail them out unless the requester
is interested. To callers at Presto-Times the samples
referred to may be seen at this office.
The box contains four different grades of key cover-
ing, and as Mr. McMackin puts it, "four different
prices of work to suit every dealer and tuner's pocket-
book." In the little box are samples of a key cov-
ered for a grand or high-grade piano; also a key for
an old piano and a black key, and smaller samples of
the material used together with the prices for putting
on 52 tops.
By the use of these samples Mr. McMackin is
enabled to keep his business in a steady state of
activity.

has been established, to cooperate in every way in
trade association activity with the other members
of the radio industry," said Mr. Grigsby.
