ing to find many years of good business to come
in the South because the South has come into
its own. It has the natural resources and the
big capitalists have realized that fact." Mr.
Mehlin had his wife with him and appeared to
be enjoying his trip immensely.
Before leaving Greensboro Mr. Hood dis-
closed the fact why his business was running
along so successfully. He said: "In slack and
dull days, and we have very few, we don't sit
back and let business lag. We go out and reach
the people who never reach us. Some business
may be followed up over the phone but a sys-
tematic campaign of personal contact with the
prospect as well as the customer is always nec-
essary to the upkeep and success of any busi-
ness."
Raleigh, N. C.
Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina, a
thrifty city with a population of 35,000. It gives
facts and figures to show it contains the largest
mills of the following industries: Hosiery,
aluminum, cotton, underwear and pulp.
Darnell & Thomas
A high-class music store bearing the name of
Darnell & Thomas is very proudly spoken of
by the community. Unfortunately, I was un-
able to interview personally the members of
the firm as my time was limited and I did not
. find the heads of the company when I called.
This house has been established for many years
and caters to the musical public for its every
requirement, carrying everything musical.
J. B. Leonard Piano Co.
Another music house is the J. B. Leonard
Piano Co., handling a substantial line of pianos,
American Piano Co. line, Kranich & Bach and
many other makes, Victor talking machines and
records and a small assorted stock of sheet mu-
sic. Mr. Leonard is also the president of the
North Carolina Music Association. The lady I
interviewed disclosed the fact that these were
new quarters for this company. The company
is satisfied with its recent change and business
is good. This house uses the following motto
for its publicity work: "A Satisfied Customer
is the Best Advertisement."
POPULAR
SONG SUCCESSES
A call to this musical emporium disclosed the
fact that it occupied spacious and attractive
quarters at 120 West Martin street, featuring
the Henry F. Miller piano, also the nationally
priced Gulbransen. It also represents many
other makes of pianos, the Brunswick line of
phonographs and Radiola and also carries an
extensive stock of player rolls, sheet music and
musical instruments. Mr. Stephenson, who ac-
quired this business from Mr. Bowles, recently
reported an advance in his business in the right
direction. He stated it was too soon to be able
to give figures but he has many plans to boost
his many lines for the coming season. He is
rather a cheerful type and agreeable, the kind
that appears to have very little to worry about.
As Elbert Hubbard would say: "A lot of peo-
ple who have nothing to fuss about, make a
fuss about nothing."
Greensboro Music Co.
Frank M. Hood is the president of this com-
pany, a happy individual without any worry,
simply because he has learned to philosophize
things. When I walked into his store a rank
outsider, unbeknown to Frank, he immediately
made me feel at home. It was that real sincere
friendship which Mr. Hood reflects and displays
to all with whom he comes in contact. His in-
stitution represents locally the American Piano
Co. line, featuring the Chickering and also the
well-known Mehlin. The store occupies an im-
portant space at 123 South Elm street in the
very heart of everything. The Victor and
Brunswick are both featured extensively. Gib-
son banjos, Ludwig drums and a splendid as-
sortment of sheet music and music books are
carried. Mr. Hood reports business way be-
yond his expectations. He is of the real live
type and believes in going after things. From
the time he opens his eyes he is either digest-
ing good food or good prospects.
Popular Radio Songs
"Little Telltale" and "Hope On," two com-
positions from the pen of Caroline L. Summer,
have been frequently broadcasted through radio
stations in recent months. Maria Healy, ac-
companied by her mother at the piano, played a
return concert at station WBZ, Hotel Bruns-
wick, Boston, Mass. Mildred Murrey Gardner,
at a late concert from station KDKA, Pitts-
burgh, Pa., also featured "Hope On" and "Little
Telltale," by Caroline L. Summer, and "I Love
You Truly," by Carrie Jacobs Bond. Maria
Healy is a young coloratura soprano of Man-
chester, N. H.
