were driven back to Baltimore.

Ray Miller
signed with this well-known organization, and
the first recordings under the new contract were
released recently.
Ray Miller and His Black and White Melody
Boys need no introduction to the talking ma-
chine trade or to dance enthusiasts throughout
the country, as this organization is recognized
as one of the finest dance orchestras now play-
ing. For several years past Ray Miller has ap-
peared at the leading dance palaces in the coun-
try and in addition has been a headliner at the
Winter Garden in New York when that house
played Shubert vaudeville. Ray Miller and his
band have also appeared in several very suc-
cessful musical comedy hits and Mr. Miller has
a host of admirers throughout the country who
proclaim him one of the foremost exponents
of modern dance music.
....--
Conferences of a number of resident buyers with
the managers of the National Merchandise Fair
to be held at the Grand Central Palace from
August 7 to 25 took place during the last week.
The object of the meetings was to secure active
co-operation among all those interested in the
fair, which is expected to be attended by the
largest number of buyers ever gathered under
one roof. The resident buyers were urged to
advise their accounts to send representatives.
It has now been decided not to open the fair
to the public at all, but to make it strictly a
buying and selling proposition for the trade only.
The management of the fair has limited the
space of exhibitors, believing that, in justice to
smaller manufacturers, no one exhibitor should
monopolize attention. With few exceptions, it is
stated, and these where the manufacturer can-
not possibly display all his lines in the limited
space, only one booth will be sold to an exhibitor.
Lavish expenditures in decoration will not be en-
couraged, inasmuch as the spectacular appeal
would be mainly for the public.
NEW STORES OPENED
The Melody Shop, 1402 Second avenue, Seattle,
Wash., was recently formally opened with a com-
plete stock of musical instruments, talking ma-
chines and sheet music.
The Standard Music Co., 293 South Main
street, Akron, O., has leased attractive new quar-
ters adjoining its present place of business. The
firm is engaged in selling musical instruments and
leather goods.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
