Music Merchants Pledge Support to
National Promotion Tax
General Support From Members of the National Association of Music Merchants Being Pledged to Buy
New Promotion Stamps for Fund to Develop Propaganda for Wider Purchase of Music In-
struments—Dealers Suggest Plan Be Extended to Both Radio and the Talking Machine
M
EMBERS of the National Association
of Music Merchants throughout the
country continue to advise the head-
quarters of the association of their willingness
to pay for the extra new Merchants' Promotion
Stamp and their enthusiasm regarding the pro-
gressive move to be financed by the funds thus
received.
A number of the merchants have taken oc-
casion to stress the belief that stamps of rea-
sonable denomination be placed on all talking
machines and radio apparatus so that those
divisions of the trade may contribute their share
towards music advancement work. If the char-
acter of the members who have already en-
dorsed the project may be accepted as a
criterion then it ."would seem that the success of
the new promotional movement is assured.
Within a very few weeks after the close of
the • convention there was published an impos-
ing list of association members who had ex-
pressed their, willingness to pay for the extra
stamps and since that time the' following have
taken ocfcfefeion tqf» write to the national head-

Larger Vocalstyle Roll
Stocks for New York
New Shelving Installed in Eastern Branch to
Accommodate 10,000 More Rolls—Increased
Demand Necessitated Move
Recent extension of its wall shelving space
to the front of its store has put the New York
district office of the Vocalstyle Music Co., 34
West Fifteenth street, in readiness for a heavy
Fall business which has already begun, accord-
ing to Herbert J. Brand, Eastern district man-
ager. Mr. Brand states that the increased shelf
space in the store is now completely utilized,
accommodating 10,000 additional rolls. The bulk
of the added space has been devoted to Vocal-
style standard rolls, for which there has been
an increasing demand since the establishment
of the Eastern office about three years ago.
"Our dealers have not waited for any warn-
ing notices from us this year, but have volun-
tarily ordered large quantities of our standard
rolls during the past two weeks," said Mr.
Brand. "I have never seen such a consistently
good state of business at this stage of the sea-
son, and am confident that it indicates a busy
Fall."
