ATIONAL MUSIC WEEK is now holding the attention of music mer-
chants all over the country. This year it occurs from May 6th to May
13th. The National Association of Music Merchants, through its adver-
tising committee which is headed by Evan Klock, advertising manager of
Lyon & Healy, Inc., Chicago, has for the past month been preparing material
for the use of its members, as well as other dealers who will send for it. For
this purpose the association has prepared a kit which includes many items
which can be used to advantage by the dealer. It is being shipped to dealers
for the moderate sum of $1.00 and includes window streamers, colorful record
album bands for window and interior display purposes, these to be used on
record albums of all sizes, newspaper mats in three sizes, a "how to do it"
manual which contains numerous suggestions for civic and community promo-
tion and many other items suited to the occasion.
