End Truck Made by Self-Lifting Piano Truck Co. Is
Complete and Sturdy.
Every period of the year is a season for the vise
and of course the purchase of Selpo trucks, made by
the Self-Lifting Piano Truck Company, Findlay, O-
They are commodities which interest the dealers and
particularly the movers who are the best judges of
the requirements of a sensible device for moving the
instruments.
The ambitious piano dealer has the natural desire
to make his service the best and, of course, the mover
anxious for results demands the best contrivances
that will make his work less laborious and safer and
his deliveries more prompt. That is why their choice
is the Selpo, which is the last word in end trucks.
They make service the best because they are com-
plete, sturdy and dependable. The Selpo has a frame
that is crossbraced and riveted so that it cannot rack.
The bail, too, has been lengthened to increase its
leverage.
GERMAN S H E E T MUSIC.
Germany's exportation of sheet music in the first
nine months of 1926 was 13 per cent below the cor-
responding movement in 1925. The importation is
likewise down—by 19 per cent. There was an in-
crease in exports in 1925 compared with 1924, but
this success has not been maintained. The largest
buyers were Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Czecho-
slovakia, England, the United States and Belgium.
CAPITOL W O R D ROLLS.
Besides the price allurement, the Capitol Word
Rolls made by the Capitol Roll & Record Co., Chi-
cago, have other merits that make them "the back-
ground of a busy roll department. The selections
are always up-to-the-minute, have printed words and
extra choruses and the rolls are longer than the usual
rolls. To produce the wearing quality that brings
the customers back, the rolls are made from the best
materials obtainable. They have the double appeal of
quality and price.
