WILL NOT GIVE UP SHEET MUSIC
Woolworth Stores Will Carry Music and Not
Increase Price
Following the dearth of sheet music sales felt
by the F. W. Woolworth syndicate which caused
it to close up not a few of its sheet music de-
partments in smaller cities, there was a per-
sistent rumor afloat that the firm in question
contemplated abandoning sheet music counters
altogether. However, according to a recent an-
nouncement, the Woolworth Co. does not intend
to eliminate any of its departments, neither will
it increase the retail price of music sales.
It is now understood that the Woolworth Co.
hopes to be able, with the aid of some of the
larger publishers, to carry a sufficient number of
salable works to make the music departments
worth while.
