ADVERTISING WITH RECORDS
Industry Promises to Grow Faster When New
Process Paper Record Is Perfected.
Radio has had no effect on the making of personal
and advertising records which has grown into a real
industry independent of the entertainment record
makers. The first personal records were made as a
matter of vanity or sentiment, says the Saturday Eve-
ning Post.
But old John W. Business soon saw there was
something more in it than that. New recording con-
cerns sprang up to make such records for less than
the entertainment phonograph companies charged,
and developed possibilities which the big companies
had to neglect for lack of time.
The thing really began as a nuisance. While the
phonograph man is scouting for talent at home and
abroad, other people are hot on his trail—professional
entertainers whose ability and reputation fall below
the standard necessary in phonograph records, and
amateur singers, players and reciters who want to get
into the records to make money or add to their pres-
tige among friends.
Some of the amateurs were so persistent that, large-
ly in self-defense at first, phonograph men said, "We
can make a personal record for your own use if you
want to pay for it."
But it is in countless new forms of advertising that
the professional record is being most actively devel-
oped. The time may come, and soon, when you will
take home a whole evening's entertainment, for the
family in the form of advertising disks from your
morning mail.
Here is the way it works: You get a phonograph
record at the office. It is a novelty. You are going
to find out what it says, and, because your phono-
graph is home, must take it there. Ergo, the adver-
tiser delivers his message at what is considered the
most opportune time—in the home circle, when you
can give him the best attention.
The day when advertising records will be as com-
mon as photographs is just around the corner. The
chief obstacle to be overcome now is cost.
ADDS LINK TO CHAIN.
A. N. Pickerell recently purchased the Weigel Mu-
sic. Store, Coffeyville, Kans., under the direction of
the referee in bankruptcy. This is the fourth link in
the chain stores operated by Mr. Pickerell. The
others are at Independence and Cherryva'le, Kans.,
and Nowat, Okla., all' conducted under the title of the
Pickerell Music House.
A KANSAS PROBLEM.
Attorney General Griffith of Kansas has the prob-
lem of deciding whether interference with radio ser-
mons violates the state law against interference with
religious worship. It was put up by the members of
a little church at Norway, Kansas, when sermons it
received from Omaha were being interfered with
by a closer station.
NEW OAKLAND BRANCH.
The Conn-Oakland Co., has been opened at 531
Sixteenth street, Oakland, Cal., and is operated as a
branch of the Conn-San Francisco Co., which is
serving the entire Pacific Coast. The new Oakland
store was established in response to the growing
interest in band and orchestra instruments in Oak-
land.
PLANS RADIO CONFERENCE.
The league of nations is p'anning another world
conference on radio. To make this effective, how-
ever, the United States and other nations not mem-
bers of the league may have to be called in.
ADVERTISES REPAIR SHOP.
Barbee's Musical Emporium, 159 Taylor street, San
Francisco, features its repair department in an effec-
tive way that advertises this phase of the firm's
business. The repair shop is easily viewed through
the show windows and onlookers can see how the
interesting processes of patching or making over
the various instruments.
