Homer J. Buckley, Noted Speaker,
Will Address 1929 Music Conclave
Is Scheduled to Appear Before the Music Merchants and Talk on "What Must I Do to
Stay in Business and Meet New Competition
H P H E first convention program announcement
was made to the trade this week. Homer
J. Buckley will be a featured speaker before
the Music Merchants at their annual meeting
in Chicago in June.
It has rarely been the good fortune of the
National Association of Music Merchants to
have the privilege of presenting at one of its
business sessions at the annual convention a
man possessing such an unusual record of asso-
ciation activities as that which attaches to
Homer J. Buckley.
Mr. Buckley is a former president of the Ad-
vertising Council of Chicago, president of the
International Direct Mail Advertising Associa-
tion, president of the National Council of Busi-
ness Mail Users, president of the West Central
Association and president of the Travelers' Aid
Society of Chicago. He is now chairman of
the Committee on Public Information of the
Chicago World's Fair Centennial celebration to
be held in 1933, and is director of the Chicago
Better Business Bureau, Association of Com-
merce in Chicago, and the International Adver-
tising Association. He is a lecturer on the
staff of the Universities of Illinois and Notre
Dame, at the Y. M. C. A., Cleveland Advertis-
ing School and the New York Advertising
School, and he is author of "Science of Market-
ing by Mail."
Incidentally, perhaps, from a business stand-
point of more importance, is the fact that he is
president of Buckley, Dement & Co., direct mail
specialists of Chicago.
Mr. Buckley possesses an engaging personal-
ity, is a speaker who holds the attention of his

audience, and he has an exceptional message to
present. He has spoken before innumerable
associations and organizations at various times.

He has made an exhaustive study of the sub-
ject of merchandising in all its various aspects
and is looked upon as an authority on the sub-
ject. He is a protege of H. Gordon Selfridge,
the world-famous retailer, under whom a,t Mar-

tained his early business training. Mr. Buckley
is a charter member of the Advertising Club of
Chicago, and was a member of the organization

ciation and it is believed that this talk will be
one of the highlights of the convention. Mr.
