MUSIC Co. «*—•«•
Reproduction of An Effective Advertisement to
Fathers and Mothers
for beginners to be given free with the purchase
of each piano from the company. The offer is
very interesting in that the purchaser may se-
lect any teacher or music school in the city and
the company will pay for a series of beginners'
lessons on the piano.
In making the offer the company has tied up
closely with the teachers of the city, who have
been very appreciative of the plan. They see
in it an opportunity to build up an excellent
following of pupils who have received their pre-
liminary instruction at the expense of the
Knight-Campbell Co., and will be most likely
inclined to continue under private instruction.
The announcement of the offer has been made
in some effective advertising running in tht
Denver newspapers.
Annual Election of
N. Stetson & Go. Held
A HIGH tribute was paid recently to the new
Edison products when a Model C-2 Edison
Radio-Phonograph combination was purchased
for installation in the Cleveland School, Newark,
N. J. The school authorities appreciated the
value of a phonograph and radio combination
in supplementing regular class work, and re-
quested demonstrations of various models by
different manufacturers. The Edison radio-
phonograph combination was presented by the
Griffith Piano Co., Newark, local representa-
tives, and.was selected for its tonal qualities in
competition with several instruments at a much
higher price.
As a result of the satisfaction given in the
Cleveland School by the Edison radio-phono-
graph combination, a similar instrument has
been purchased by the Morton Street School in
Newark, which indicates that there is a bright
future for such modern instruments in the
schools of the country at large.
Incidentally, the Griffith Piano Co. has been
very active in the presentation of the Edison,
and one of the most effective window displays
presenting that line in the metropolitan terri-
tory was recently arranged by the Griffith Co.
The feature of the display was a large photo-
graph of Thomas A. Edison himself together
with the Edison C-2 radio and the R-l radio-
phonograph combination. The whole arrange-
ment was marked by simplicity and was given
added effectiveness through a sign which was
headed "Edison Chooses Griffith to Present His
Radio Masterpiece." The display, featuring
Mr. Edison's picture, will be presented in the
other stores of the Griffith Co. chain in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, all of which handle
the Edison line. This was a timely presenta-
tion, especially because Mr. Edison celebrated
his birthday on Tuesday of this past week.
