LEEDY DRUM EXPOSITION
Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, Chicago, Stimulates In-
terest in Drum Outfits by Featuring Leedy Line.
The popularity ot drums and accessories manufac-
tured by the Leedy Mfg. Co.. Indianapolis, Ind., is
strongly evident in the fact that famous orchestras
the country over have chosen them as the ideal equip-
ment for the drummer.
The Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., 329 South W'abash
avenue, Chicago, held a Leedy Drum Exposition this
week which proved a big success from every stand-
point. Its value in the matter of advertising the
Leedy Mfg. Co.'s products was determined by the
large number of people who expressed interest in the
exhibit.
S. C. Rowland, manager of the Drum Exposition,
Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., Los Angeles, Calif., was pres-
ent during the entire week showing what was termed
as "the finest assemblage of drum sets which repre-
sents the highest attainment in drum manufacturing."
Mr. Rowland also presented the pictures of popular
orchestras using Leedy drum sets in and around Los
Angeles. Some of the orchestras thus represented
were: Lew Erickson, and his Montmarte Cafe Or-
chestra. Los Angeles, Leedy Black Elite Drum and
Vibraphone; Danny Cairns, White Elite Leedy Drum,
Los Angeles Orpheum Theater, and Rill Gilcher,
Leedy White Elite Drum Set, playing- with Arthur
