SUBSIDIES TO CUSTOMERS
Evils of the Custom in Musical Merchandise
Trade Are Grievous and Conducive to
Disastrous Results.
The granting of subsidies to professional musicians
is a custom the National Musical Merchandise Asso-
tiation would eradicate. It is a custom of many
phases which include the direct subsidy, favors for
musicians such as extra work on instruments, ab-
normal allowances for used instruments taken in ex-
change, that is, "traded-in"; special terms of credit,
subscriptions to or payments of advertising or other
expenses of musical enterprises or organizations are
typical indirect subsidies.
All subsidies are not direct and the granting of
subsidies has been by no means confined to promi-
nent professional musicians, according to a statement
by the association which says: "A secret special dis-
count to an influential member of the village band is
no different in effect from the payment of a large sal-
ary to an artist of international reputation. He may
be any person whose ownership or advocacy of a
particular make of band instrument for some special
reason adds to the reputation of that instrument in
the community.
"Even when no subsidy is involved, the granting of
excessive allowances for used instruments taken in
exchange is against public interest. It constitutes
price discrimination, and is unfair to customers who
have no instruments to exchange or who trade in
their instruments at a fair valuation. Over allow-
ances are conducive to the development of misleading
and improper trade practices, such as quoting ficti-
ciously highly prices and making false reductions on
new instruments when no used instrument is taken in
exchange. Furthermore, a consistent policy of grant-
ing over allowances on used instruments leads in-
evitably to either business failure or to a regular pol-
icy of over pricing of new instruments to the conse-
quent detriment of the buying public. The evil of
granting over allowances is frequently promoted by
ignorance of the real value of the instrument taken
in exchange."
PORTLAND MANAGER TRANSFERRED.
T. G. Towner, who installed the musical merchan-
dise department of The Sherman, Clay & Co., Port-
land, Ore., branch last fall and since that time has
been the manager of the department has been trans-
ferred to the Sacramento branch of the firm and his
place has been filled by the appointment of Walter
A. McDonnell, who was formerly with the Seattle
branch of the firm.
An Estey luminous stop organ, planned along the
most advanced lines, has been installed in the Ma-
sonic Temple, Manitowoc, Wis., by Lyon & Healy,
Chicago.
