MARCH
1942
LOS ANGELES-It's V for Victory and
at the Jack Gutshall Distributing Co. thi s
month it means a Victory Sale in which
Jack is offering every type of musical
equipment at outstandin g savings to West·
ern musicmen.
Th e establishment is well stocked with
eq uipm en t and supplies ,which are becom-
ing very difficult to obtain and Jack has
priced them low to ' give operators the ad·
vantage of his wise buying of the past few
months.
Quantities are limited and as Jack says,
"When th ese are gone there just won't be
any more," so an early visit to Gutshall 's
will more than repay th e far·sighted op-
era tor.

• rega rdless of th e price you pay, th e rna·
chine you get from Badger will be every-
thing you want it to be."
