TO LYLE DANIELS AND CARO MILLER
The pianos handled include the Gul-
bransen and the company conducts
a band and string instrument depart-
ment as well as television and radio.
The other illustration was taken
when Jack McDermott, Pacific Coast
representative of the Gulbransen Co.
was visiting with Mr. Daniels and Mr.
Miller.
"I believe", said Mr. McDermott this
is the most distinctive music store in
the country, but if not, I am sure it
ranks number one in California. Lo-
cated in the heart of Berkeley near the
campus of University of California, the
store was established in 1906 and is
presently owned by Lyle Daniels and
Caro Miller. Since the affiliation of the
present partners, a piano department
was installed making this distinctive
music store complete in every respect."

Regardless of the type of instrument
or the size of their budget, you'll be
able to fill the needs of every pros-
pect with Maas' long and complete
line of bells, chimes and accessories.
The more than 21,000 installations
prove that Maas Chimes and Bells
are in greater demand than all other
makes. If you are not selling the
Maas line at present, it will pay you
to investigate this extra profit oppor-
tunity. Our extensive national adver-
tising, merchandising helps and pros-
pect developer makes selling easy.
