THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
LATEST ASSOCIATION ACTIVITY
Sheet Music Dealers' Association Co-operating
With Music Industries Chamber of Commerce
Thomas J. Donlan, secretary of the National
Association of Sheet Music Dealers, which has
recently become a division member of the Music
Industries Chamber of Commerce, is actively
engaged in working with officials of the Cham-
ber on. plans whereby the two organizations
may be of mutual assistance to each other.
The Association, which has long advocated an
improvement in the methods of conducting the
sheet music business, will work in close har-
mony with the Chamber's Better Business Bu-
reau, both giving and receiving aid in the cam-
paign to put a stop to unbusinesslike practices
prevailing among customers, as well as among
those engaged in the business.
One of the contemplated activities of the
Music Dealers' Association is the operation of
a Retail Credit Rating Bureau for the exchange
of credit information among its members. Mr.
Donlan stated that a pamphlet was at present
in the course of preparation which will give a
detailed account of the past accomplishments of
the Association and an outline of future plans.
. "There will be a membership drive," said Mr.
Donlan, "in which we have been assured of the.
assistance of the Music Industries Chamber of
Commerce and which I confidently expect will
double or treble the membership of our Asso-
ciation within a short time. All the facilities
of the Chamber will now be available to mem-
bers of the Association."
Membership dues in the National Association
• of Sheet Music Dealers are $5.00 per year for
firms employing less than four persons in their
sheet music department and $10.00 per year for
firms employing four persons or more. Ap-
plicatioTis for membership, accompanied by
