4. Don't talk so much about "service" that
you fail to render service. Those who talk
about it usually fall down.
5. Know your stuff.
Many businesses make the mistake of grow-
ing too fast. The firm of Buegeleisen & Jacob-
son has been growing steadily for thirty years.
Starting in a small way on one floor of a small
building on Seventeenth street, the business
gradually increased in size to the point where
expansion was necessary. Another floor was
added and finally the business moved to larger
quarters in University Place.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson will be remembered
as a University Place house for a number of
years and this is the place where the greatest
development of the firm came, so much so
that in 1919, just after the war, it was necessary
again to seek larger quarters, which were found
in the present modern establishment at 5-7-9
Union Square, in the heart of the musical mer-
chandise district.
One great indication of the progressiveness
of the head of the House of Durro, as the
house is sometimes known because of the popu-
larity of its Durro violins, is his custom to
make at least one yearly visit to Europe, where
he inspects the important foreign markets. In
recent years he has found it necessary fre-
quently to visit Europe more than once. In
the factories of Czecho-Slovakia, Germany,
France, Italy and Austria, Samuel Buegeleisen
is as well known as any American.
"Carry a good stock, is my message to the^
dealer who would be successful," declared Mr.
Buegeleisen to The Review representative
while getting ready to sail this week on the
S.S. "Leviathan" for Europe. "Local dealers
lose a huge pile of business that should be
theirs every year simply because they do not
have the items in stock. I do not refer to
odd, seldom-purchased instruments, but ordi-
nary, staple items. A trained musician who
is constantly purchasing instruments and acces-
sories loses faith in stores that fail to serve
him and looks to the other store as the authority
on musical instruments. Of course I don't ad-
vocate unnecessary overstocking, but I do feel
that most small dealers are losing sales
through understocking that ought to be theirs."
William L. Lange
Exhibits at Convention
Full Line of New York Banjo Manufacturer
Shown at the Hotel Stevens, Chicago
Through an unfortunate error the name of
William L. Lange was omitted from the list
of exhibitors at the annual Music Industries
Convention last week in Chicago. In the in-
terest of truth it must be reported that Mr.
Lange's company displayed at rooms 1005A and
1006A in the Hotel Stevens one of the finest
showings of banjo instruments to be seen at
the convention.
This display included Paramount banjos,
Banner Blue banjos and banjo ukuleles, Or-
pheum banjos, Langstile banjos and Challenger
banjos. The new "Challenger King" patented,
in ivory and gold and shown for the first time,
was enthusiastically received by the many
dealers who visited the rooms.
J. P. Grant, general manager, and Irving
Loehr, sales manager, were in charge.

FRANCISCO, CAL., June 12.—A continuous
band contest, with every band of importance
around the Bay taking part, will be a feature
of the convention program which the Western
Music Trades Convention will enjoy during
the duration of the sessions here, in 'July.
The contest will be in three divisions. In
Division 1 the bands maintained by secret and
fraternal orders and lodges will compete. This
will include bands of the Shrine, Sciots, Elks,
American Legion and similar organizations.
Division 2 will provide for the bands in the
public service and those maintained by fac-
tories and business organizations. This is not
to include bands of professional musicians, al-
though the leaders of the bands in this division
may be professional men. Division 3 is for
junior bands, fostered and maintained by social
service organizations. This would include Boy
Scouts, boys' clubs and so on. Contestants
in each division will be divided into two classes:
Class A, for bands of thirty or more member-
ship, including leader, that have been organized
for longer than one year. Class B, for bands
of twenty-nine or less, including leader, or
for bands of any number organized for less
than a year.
Full particulars are obtainable from the chair-
man of the committee, E. J. Delano, at Sher-
man, Clay & Co. Other members of the
committee in charge of the contest include
