ADVANCE ROLLS FOR AUGUST
The advance bulletins of rolls for August are now
either in the hands of dealers or are being made ready
for prompt mailing to the trade. The music roll
manufacturers are well aware of the advantage of
bridging the gap between the factory and the ultimate
consumer at the earliest possible date. The longer
the interval before the announcement of the rolls and
the actual presentation of the goods to the prospec-
tive buyers the greater is the ease of selling.
"Tell the roll customers what you have and let
them decide what they want," is a rule with the most
alert dealers. The advance bulletins suggest to the
playerpiano owners what they are going to want.
The music merchant knows that the greatest aid to
sales of playerpianos and reproducing pianos are the
rolls when properly handled by the dealer. It is
clear the rolls must be sold if the dealer is to profit
by carrying the stock, and it is also understood that
the rolls require prompt and continuous exploiting
every issue of the bulletins. The advance numbers
are plain invitations to the dealers to get busy.
