R. W. Jackson Now Heads
Brunswick Music Division
Succeeds A. J. Kendrick as General Sales Man-
ager of Musical Division of Brunswick-
Balke-Collender Co.
CHICAGO, III., June 25.—R. W. Jackson, well-
known Brunswick executive, has just been
appointed general sales manager of the musical
division of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co.,
succeeding A. J. Kendrick, who resigned a short
time ago.
Mr. Jackson, who joined the Brunswick Co.
in 1903, has for the past three and a half years
been general sales manager of the billiard and
bowling division of the company, but is well
known to the trade, for when he was branch
manager of the St. Louis division from 1915 to
1923 he introduced the Brunswick phonograph
in that field. His successful activities and ag-
gressive sales policies developed the Brunswick
instrument in that territory to the point where
St. Louis was one of the most successful of the
Brunswick branches.
Although he has not been actively associated
with the industry for the past few years, Mr.
Jackson has been in close touch with all new
developments in the music field, in the instru-
ment and the merchandising policies of the
company, so that he is well qualified to take
over the reins of the musical division.
Mr. Jackson has always been very much in-
lerested in the musical industry and his actual
contact with that division of the Brunswick
company from its very beginning will stand
him in good stead in his new work. He has
personally covered practically the entire United
States and Canada in his different positions,
and in addition to developing a host of friends
in the trade, he is aware, from first-hand
knowledge, of dealer problems and his appoint-
ment is a popular one with the trade.
W. C. Hutchings, who has been acting as
assistant general sales manager of the musical
division for the past five years, will continue
in that capacity. Mr. Hutchings is another

ideally for the important position he holds.

years. The remaining members of the organiza-

will also remain in their present positions.

accomplished and is accomplishing. If 300
children can be enrolled in the original group
instruction class in a town where the total
population is only about 10,000 souls, then there
is even a greater chance for putting group
instruction over successfully in the scores
of towns and small cities of between 10,000 and
25,000 population.
The point is that piano promotion, whether
through group instruction or through other
means, should not be confined to the big cities,
but should be genuinely national in its scope
and have support in every locality that is large
enough to maintain a piano and music store.
At least one dealer has shown the way.
Buys Another Brambach
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., June 24.—The great Mark
Hopkins Hotel, located on Nob Hill, here, has
recently selected another Brambach piano for
one of its private suites, making a total of
ten Brambachs now installed within its walls.
The Mark Hopkins is one of the few hotels in
the country that provide grand pianos for their
expensive suites and apartments. The pianos
have been secured from the local store of
Sherman, Clay & Co., through the influence
of Harald Pracht, sales manager.
