THE MUSIC ROLL AS
CUSTOMER MAKER
Value of the Commodity as a Profitable
One as Well as an Aid to Player
Sales Is Freely Ac-
knowledged.
The great importance of the player music roll in
the scheme of things in the piano store is shown
every day by the attention given to the roll depart-
ments. Wherever adequate space has been secured
for the stocking and the sale of the rolls the fact
is considered worthy of repeated prominent men-
tion in the newspapers. The effort is to make the
roll department look like business. As the player-
piano gains in favor with the people the demand for
the player music has a corresponding growth.
But the development of the roll industry itself
has a good deal to do with the wonderful attention
given to both players and rolls. But the work of
the producers is ably seconded by the activities of
the progressive piano houses handling the roll
product.
At Portland, Ore.
An imposing display of Q R S and Rythmodic
player music roll was a feature in the store of the
Reed French Piano Co., Portland, Ore., last week.
It was a sample of the continuous effort of the com-
pany to bring the artistic uses of the player rolls
home to the public. Incidentally the roll display
work of the Portland company is a great stimula-
tion to the sale of playerpianos.
Splendid facilities for the stocking and saLe of
player music rolls are seen in the new roll depart-
ment of the Beesley Music Co., Salt Lake City,
Utah. The progressive dealers have long ago rec-
ognized the power of the roll department for the
increase of playerpiano sales.
The supreme importance of the music roll de-
partment in the music store was impressed upon
the recent meeting in Denver, Colo., of salesmen
gathered from six states representing the Knight-
Campbell Music Co., Denver. The roll as a profit-
able commodity and as a business getter was the
theme for several addresses at the conference.
BY SHIP TO HOUSTON.
The Atlantic steamship service of the Southern
Pacific railroad will include the port of Houston,
Tex., if suitable facilities are provided and the com-
mercial interests of the city express a desire for the
service. The Southern Pacific is having constructed
three vessels for the Houston trade at a cost of
$4,500,000. One type of vessel will carry 4,000 tons
of cargo at nineteen-foot draft, and the other type
6,000 tons of cargo at twenty-one-foot draft. "If we
are permitted to operate service to Houston,"' said
Traffic Director Spencer, "and you should conclude
that the interests of the port will be promoted by
Southern Pacific steamship service, I anticipate that
we will be ready to respond to a call nearly as soon
as wharf facilities are available."
