RADIO FOR MUSIC DEALERS
Zenith Manufacturers Make Radio Instruments to
Interest Music Retailers.
The Chicago Radio Laboratory, manufacturers of
the Zenith radio outfits and supplies, is taking pride
in the efforts made to produce instruments suitable
for sales by music dealers in connection with small
goods departments.
In Chicago, the Zenith set is receiving a good boost
from the Cable Piano Co., which has filled part of
the show windows on the ground floor of the Cable
Building at the corner of Wabash Ave. and Jackson
Boulevard, with displays of the instruments, and of
congratulatory telegrams received. This interest of
such an influential concern as the retail branch of The
Cable Company, demonstrates that the radio as an
adjunct of the music trade is not to be overlooked.
CHINESE TEMPLE BELLS.
The musical merchandise department of the Bush
& Lane Piano Company at Portland, Ore., has re-
ceived a consignment of Chinese temple bells direct
from China, which are creating a great amount of in-
terest among orchestra leaders, who are adding them
to their equipment. Mr. Meyers, manager of the
department, has added Major Kelty to the Holton
line. Major Kelty is assistant director of the Oregon
National Guard band and purchased a gold Holton
trumpet. He was a member of the original Scotch
Kiltie band.
