FOLDER DESCRIBES^ UNICO BOOTHS.
Interesting Information Contained in Attrac-
tive Folder Just Issued by George W . Smith
; & Co., Philadelphia—Well Printed.
Under the caption "Cinch Your Sales," George
W. Smith & Co., Inc., Philadelphia, manufac-
turers of the Unico sectional demonstrating
rooms, have issued a particularly attractive and
convincing folder, illustrating the details of the
ccnstruction of their booths, the appearance of the
booths installed and also reproductions of a num-
ber of letters testifying to the excellent qualities
of the booths received from such prominent con-
cerns in the music trade as Lyon & Healy, Chi-
cago; the Aeolian Co., New York; the Rudolph
Wurlitzer Co., Cincinnati; E. F. Droop & Sons
Co., Washington, D. C, and others. A list ot
twenty leading concerns in the music trade using
the Unico system of demonstration booths is also
a feature of the folder.
The folder is attractively printed in red and
black on eggshell paper and offers some inter-
esting arguments for the use of the Unico booths,
chief among them being the fact that not a screw
or nail is necessary in assembling the booths,
which means quick installation and ready removal
when necessary. The Unica booths are supplied
in a variety of finishes and equipped with all nec-
essary hardware and glass.

OUTLINES THE 0 R S POLICY.
In a Circular to the Trade the Prominent Music
Roll Manufacturers Give Their Views of the
Price Question and Announce That Their
Prices Will Be Rigidly Maintained.
I he Q R S Co. has just mailed to tlu- trade a
large circular covering some pertinent phases of
its new departure, recently described in The Re-
view, In which the prices of Q R S rolls are re-
duced practically one-half and a fixed price policy
adopted. The caption of the circular is "The
Handwriting on the Wall." Facsimile reproduc-
tions are presented of dealers' advertisements
from all over the country announcing various
prices on many standard makes of rolls. Then
appears the following comment regarding the
company's policy :
Picture the opinion the public would soon have
of the entire music business with the same roll
being sold in one town for 50 per cent, less than
in another. The public would soon believe indeed
that the music business was a joke and would try
harder than ever to buy their piano or player at
half the marked price. We have hundreds of ads
like these from all over the country. You know
as well as we do that a condition that not only
permits but encourages price cutting is not the
basis of business health or permanent success.
How long could you make money on talking ma-
chine records if your competitors were allowed to
cut prices? We saw the handwriting on the wall
and hastened to establish a low fixed retail price on
both our Q R S autograph and Q R -S regular
rolls, which will be rigidly maintained. These
prices, together with discounts, will be forwarded
to you about May \.

(Special to The Review.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, April ]5.—The Heerwagen
Co., New York, is the owner through assignment
of Patent No. 1,133,581 by Joseph Schwertner,
same place, for an automatic playing apparatus.
One object of this invention is to provide an ar-
rangement in which the notes of the instrument
or apparatus may be accented as desired and in
which the accenting may be much sharper and
more distinct than has heretofore been possible in
such arrangements, and in which the accented notes
respond more quickly than in prior devices of the
class described.
