Q R S IN SAN FRANCISCO
NEW HANDCRAFT FOLDER
Handsome Bit of Publicity Printed in Three Colors
Sets Forth Talking Points for Dealers.
"Marchin' with Martin" is the catchy title of a
three-color folder which has recently been distrib-
uted by the Martin Band Instrument Company at
Elkhart, Ind. The front page of the folder is taken
up with a proud and very efficient youthful drum
major, while in silhouette at the top a company of
youthful players are "Marchin' with Martin."
The inside pages are taken up with an illustrated
story of the Handcraft instruments. Prominent place
among the bands shown is given to the bands of
Gary, Ind., which have been developed in keeping
with the wonderful development of the Gary School
System. H. S. Warren, bandmaster of the Gary
School bands, and M. E. Snyder, supervisor of music
in the Gary School bands, are both enthusiastic
in their praise of Martin Handcraft instruments, and
say a great many of the Gary players are equipped
with them.
The Wiley B. Allen Co., 135 Kearney street, San
Francisco, Calif., is active in displaying Q R S player
rolls by means of its windows. The admirable loca-
tion of the Wiley B. Allen Co.'s store, at the inter-
section of business streets, has accorded the pro-
gressive company a fine opportunity to display its
line. The six windows fronting on Kearney street
and two on Sutter street have afforded Miss Anne
Baggs, head of the interior decorating department,
ample window space to carry out the various display
ideas of the company.
The Q R S player roll department is in the very
capable hands of Miss Isabelle Miller, who states
that much of the success of the roll department is
attributable to the willingness of the company to co-
operate with her in arranging window displays and
conducting special sales of Q R S rolls, of which a
complete stock is carried.
A school for the instruction of ukulele buyers has
been started by Landau's Music & Jewelry Store, 25
West Broad street, Hazelton, Pa.

tral band of fifty players, composed wholly of band-

Co., Peru, Ind., received notice last week that he
was the winner of the $25 prize offered for the
dealer who sells the most Brunswick phonographs
