The Balkite season is one of the longest in radio.
It has still several months to run. And the down-
ward fluctuation during the summer is never as
marked as it is in most lines. Balkite is a year-
round business.
Last summer jobbers and dealers who con-
centrated their efforts on live lines like Balkite
found that it paid not only in laying the ground
work for the fall, but in actual volume of imme-
diate sales. Follow their example and concen-
trate on Balkite this summer. Then you will be
putting your eSorts where they will pay the
maximum return. A radio set owner is always
a Balkite prospect, regardless of season.
Balkite Radio Power Units are being backed
by one of the heaviest advertising campaigns in
radio. A full-page Balkite advertisement is ap-
pearing each week in one of the four most influ-
ential of all national magazines—The Saturday
Evening Post, Collier's, The Literary Digest, and
Liberty. This advertising is producing business.
Sustained effort will secure it for you.

New Continental Piano Co. Offices
offices are located on the third floor of the
building, while the general offices are on the
fourth floor.
News stories in the Boston papers Sunday
told of the removal of the Henry F. Miller
store to the new location. The Henry F. Miller
of Boston Co., which is the new organization
taking over the retail activities for the Henry
F. Miller, Strohber and Hoffmann lines in Bos-
ton, will still be known to the Boston public as
the Henry F. Miller store. The new store is
fast being put in shape for business and will be
ready by the first of next week. The second
floor has already been opened for business with
a fine new stock of pianos fresh from the fac-
tories of the Continental Piano Co. The first
floor is now being redecorated.
Some of the newspapers touched on the high
spots of the interesting history of the Henry
F. Miller piano, saying in part: "All music
lovers are naturally much interested in this new
Henry F. Miller store, for the Henry F. Miller
is one of the oldest pianos in the country and
has become an institution around which Boston
and New England have built a great deal of
local sentiment.
