N the old days the retail merchant "shopped"
for most of his merchandise. He bought here,
there and everywhere. The result was a mis-
cellaneous stock, unstandardized, lacking in
uniformity and often impossible of "repeats."
This system was especially in evidence among
the merchants handling musical goods. The
average music store displayed a hit-or-miss
assortment of instruments, the high grade and
famous standing in parade beside the unknown,
unreliable and slow-selling. And the public, be-
cause of this confusion, never learned to be sure
of its judgment.

Contrast that with the new, the modern
method.
The successful dealer of today has eliminated
confusion and strengthened his local prestige by
concentrating on one line—or at most two or
three—which are standard and are wide enough
to cover all price needs. He connects with a
manufacturer who can supply his every want—
promptly, satisfactorily.
