This is the way the Daynes-Beebe Music Company,
Salt Lake City, impresses the public with Q R S
player rolls. G. Todd Taylor, manager of the player
roll, phonograph and radio departments, is responsible
for these effective window displays.
Each week, Mr. Taylor co-operates with the heads
of the various departments and features the musical
event of that week in the windows. The result is
that the sales for that department are materially in-
creased, proving that effective window displays more
than pay for the time and money expended on them.

NEW YORK MUSICIANS
TO GO INTO BUSINESS
Professional Pianists and Teachers Will Open
a Chain of Retail Music Stores Through-
out the Country.
The Musicians' Enterprise, Inc., had been incor-
porated according to the plans of Manfred Molkin of
New York City. The organization, to which only
musicians may belong, has a large and impressive
membership. It aims to meet musical needs of the
hour by the establishment of a chain of stores where
all musical necessities shall be obtainable, the bene-
fits accruing through the sales to be divided among
the musicians who are its shareholders.
It is proposed to build an auditorium and organize
a symphony orchestra, to give opportunity to com-
posers, conductors, soloists and other musicians con-
cerned in orchestral activities, and by the institution
of a concert bureau, which shall work for the benefit
of the artists under its management and divide profits
among the shareholders.
Among those who have joined the Enterprises are
Frances Alda, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Leopold Auer,
Arthur Bodanzky, Alexander Lambert, Ernest Schel-
ling, Josef Stransky, Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman,
Josef Lhevinne, Mischa Levitzki, Henry Hadley, Al-
fred Mirovitch, Michael Press, Paul Kochanski,
Arthur Hartmann, Roger Wolfe Kahn, Paola Gallico,
Frank La Forge, Nathan Franko, Alberto Jonas,
Hugo Riesenfeld, Marie Sundelius, Sigismond Sto-
jowski, Clarence and Josef Adler, Rudolph Polk and
many others. Leading writers on music, including

their approval of the movement.
