A very unusual show window was arranged re-
cently by the Lyric Music Co., Milwaukee, Wis.,
featuring college memories with Q R S rolls. The
active Milwaukee firm has shown a desire to create
playerpiano prospects by inviting the public's atten-
tion to Q R S rolls, and in this particular window
Q R S rolls and the Q R S girl caught the eye of the
passer-by and impressed the meaning of the display.
CONFINES ENERGIES
TO AUTOMATIC LINE
Eureka Music Co. A. H. Gregory is president and
Frank Grammar secretary.
A music department is a feature of the new store
opened recently by Kahn & Levy at 2117 Avenue F,
Galveston, Tex.
A new branch of the Story & Clark Piano Co. was
recently opened at 121 North Main street, South
Bend, Ind., handling the full line of pianos made by
this company. The store is in charge of L. K.
Lipton.
Glentzer Music Co., Fort Dodge, Iowa, De-
cides to Handle Varied Line of J. P. See-
burg Piano Co., Chicago, Exclusively.
The Glentzer Music House, Fort Dodge, la., has
discontinued the general music business and hereafter
purposes confining its energies to automatic pianos
and orchestrions. The house is well known in that
section and for years has been successfully active in
selling pianos and players. In the last few years,
however, the wonderful possibilities of the automatic
instruments have more and more impressed W. P.
Glentzer, head of the company, and recently he de-
cided to sell them exclusively. The recent sale of his
general stock to the Arthur P. Griggs Piano Co.,
Davenport, was an important incident in the car-
rying out of his plans.
In his new special phase of music goods merchan-
dising, Mr. Glentzer will handle the line of automatic
pianos and orchestrions of the J. P. Seeburg Piano
Co., 1508-1514 Dayton street, Chicago, which he pre-
vioasly has been selling in conjunction with his gen-
eral line. The line is a complete one, which Mr.
Glentzer says "fills the requirement of every buyer
of automatic instruments."

BALLOON NEW PUBLICITY
AID OF GULBRANSEN CO.
Attractive Novelty Featuring Baby Trade-Mark Sure
Hit for Fairs and Other Events.
Each passing month sees an increase in the line-
up of advertising helps available to Gulbransen deal-
ers. The latest item announced by the Gulbransen
Company is a very attractive balloon, carrying the
wording "Gulbransen, the Registering Piano," the
baby trade-mark and the dealer's imprint.
V r ery few designs used on balloons have ever sur-
passed in attractiveness the baby trade-mark as it is
used on this latest novelty. The reception that Gul-
bransen dealers have given the balloons following the
first announcement indicates that it will be a very
popular item at county fairs, store openings, special
store events and recitals, for store and school dis-
tribution, etc.
NEW PARCEL POST STAMPS.
The new 5 cent special delivery stamp for use on
parcels subject to the increased special delivery rates
and the 25 cent special handling stamp designed to
give fourth class matter the same expeditious treat-
ment as is accorded first class mail in transit are off
the press. The former is of the same size and design
as the present 10 cent special delivery stamp, but the
color is orange. The latter also has the same shape
and size of the other two, but the design is entirely
different. In the center of the stamp are the numer-
als "25" surmounted by the words "special handling"
arranged in a semicircle. The circle is dark green.
FIRST ORGAN COMPLETED.
The Page Organ Company, Defiance, O., now has
in operation at the factory the first instrument con-
structed under new patents recently secured. This
organ, which will go into a theater in Grand Rapids,
Mich., is under contract for delivery in June. A new
marnet system in the relay that makes possible a high
wind pressure, a new device that insures constant air
pressure with the tremulo in operation, and the sec-
tional system of construction are outstanding features.
