SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., January 21.—The Conn San
Francisco Co.'s Building on Kearny street has
just been equipped' with a handsome marquee,
electrically illuminated. Three floors of this
building are given over to sales of Conn instru-
ments, and on one of the floors a handsome
new salesroom has been equipped. One of the
many noticeable features of this room consists
of two twin spotlights, which are trained on
;i special collection of Conn instruments, in the
center of which is a large oil painting of Rube
Wolf, now conducting at the Granada Theatre
here. Mr. Wolf, who uses Conn instruments for
his work, is at present giving special demon-
strations in the Conn Building for the Conn
San Francisco Co. Daniel Miller, San Fran-
cisco manager for the company, says that other
directors will be featured successively.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAI.., January 21.—Princeton is
not going to have any walk-over in defending
its State and National trophies in the coming
high school band contests to be held in connec-
tion with the 1928 Music Week. This is the
opinion of E. J. Delano, manager of the Sher-
man-Clay retail small goods department.

Taking it in a broad way this great event

the boundless possibilities of radio. The Ameri-

were given a marvelous event, and it would
hardly have been complete without a display of
the most modern development in dance orches-
