ART IN A MUSIC ROLL BOX
Unique and Artistic Innovation in Music Roll
Containers Recently Produced by The Stand-
ard Music Roll Co. of Orange, N. J.
Hot weather has proved a stimulator in the
field of art for the Standard Music Roll Co.,
of Orange, N. J. The latest artistic work is
the fulfillment of G. Howlett Davis's twenty-
live-year ambition to produce a, music roll box
that would be a real ornament to well fur-
nished rooms, and that would at the same time
be highly pertinent to the subject of music.
Artistically, the new box is unique. The top
portrays a Grecian scene of sweeping grace
and the two sides are occupied by rows of
portraits. The whole is handsomely printed in
multi-shades of sepia brown that give a rich
soft finish similar to old ivory.
The educational feature of the new box is
found in the series of portraits on either side.
On one side appear in chronological order the
world famous composers with their dates of
birth and death. On the other side is a row,
also chronologically arranged, of the world-
famous interpreters of the master composers.
Lifting off the cover, one is greeted with
still further departures in music roll art. The
new Arto Roll lies in a box of light tan and

appears itself to be a rolled-up rotogravure
picture. Not until the roll has been taken out
and the first foot unrolled is the truth evident.
The Standard Co. has made the first foot of
a special sheepskin paper, purposely soiled in
advance to an artistic state, so that subsequently
it can never have a dirty-soiled appearance,
even though used constantly.
The first foot
of the roll is printed in sepia and has the ef-
fect of modern rotogravure work.
The de-
sign is conventional and of a neatly illustrated
type. The features included in this first foot
of roll arc, the title, the composer, the artist
making the roll, a brief summary of the com-
poser and his work, the verses of the song, a
portrait of the composer, and a decorative
scroll design of classic women dancers.
Only high class music of the enduring sort
will be found in the new Arto Roll list, because
the real endeavor of the Standard Co. is to fur-
nish music that will endure in a form that
will endure, in other words, that is as high
class as the music itself. The new Arto Roll
should prove a handsome adjunct to the music
roll departments of retail establishments and
indeed may well be the means of helping deal-
ers to put their music roll department on a
paying basis—it being the Standard Co.'s belief
that the public is willing to pay a better price
for the better, the "long time," music.
