Music Store Expands
Its Radio Department
MTLWAUK.EE, Wis., January 27.—The Norbert
J. Beihoff Music Co., 811 Forty-seventh street,
has announced that the radio department has
been considerably enlarged, and that several
new lines of electric radios have been stocked
and will be given much attention in store dis-
plays.
William C. Quick, who is well known in the
radio field, locally and through the State, will
have charge of the department, according to an
announcement from Norbert J. Beihoff. Mr.
Quick's experience has covered the entire scope
of the radio field, and he is recognized as one
of the outstanding radio technicians in the field.
He has been traveling sales representative for
liriggs & Stratton Manufacturing corporation,
and State representative for the Kimberly Radio
corporation, distributors for the Zenith.
The location ot the Beihoff stpre in a neigh-
borhood business district serving a large and
prosperous residential district will make the
radio service of particular value, it is pointed
out.
The store recently added the C. G. Conn line
of band instruments distributed by the Flanner-
Hafsoos Co., and Mr. Beihoff believes that the
line is a, decided advantage to the store and its
customers.
The Beihoff Co. has recently published "I'm
Not So Much to Blame," the music being writ-
ten by Mr. Beihoff, and the words by A. U.
Gust. The music contains an innovation in
sheet music in the form of special arrangements
for solos or duets for saxophone, trumpet or
clarinet, beside modern arrangements of the
same instruments for use as encores.
