The Music Trade
Mark P. Campbell Galls
on Pacific Coast Trade
Head of Brambach Piano Co. Stops in San
Francisco En Route Home From Hawaiia and
Talks Over the Radio
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., April 13.—Mark P. Camp-
bell, president of the Brambach Piano Co., said
this morning that he is busier than any two
men, attending to business connected with the
Brambach grand pianos here. Looking the pic-
ture of health and happiness, Mr. Campbell ex-
pressed enthusiasm for his visit to the Hawai-
ian Islands.
Mr. Campbell spoke a few words the other
day over KFRC as a prelude to the Brambach
Hour on the air, saying, in part: "I am very
glad to be here. My long and pleasant associa-
tion with Sherman, Clay & Co. makes me look
upon the Pacific Coast as a real home and one
which I visit at every opportunity.
"Our dealings with Sherman, Clay & Co.
have always meant more to us than business
dealings. There has always been a community
of thought—of ideals. We have a like faith in
music and in the music business. We have
been alike in earnest endeavor to give more
and better music—finer and more efficient musi-
cal service. We have tried to express these
ideals in the Brambach Baby Grand piano.
"The music industry has taken for its slogan:
'The richest child is poor without musical
training.' To the music-teaching profession we
owe a great debt—for a world being constantly
made better—brighter—and richer through
musical training.
"And now I believe there is something ex-
ceptionally pleasing to be offered on our little
program, and I will bid you good evening."
