PHONOGRAPHS IN SEATTLE
A. S. Cobb of Talking Machine Group in Local As-
sociation Makes Valuable Suggestions.
With a desire to further interest in the talking
machine, a meeting was recently called hy A. S.
Cobl>, chairman of the Talking Machine Group of
the Radio and Music Trades Association, Seattle,
Wash., at which one hundred and sixty were present,
including visitors from Bellingham, Tacoma, and
Everett.
Mr. Cobb, of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Com-
pany, read a message on the necessity of good music
and the results obtained by it. Mr. Barrish of the
Wi'son Business College gave a talk on "A Message
on Salesmanship." J. Sipprell. of Kinney & Sipprell,
gave his ideas on "An Artist in the Phonograph
Business." E. Tatman,. Tacoma, talked on "What
Effect Will the Talking Machine Have Upon the
Music Business in the Future"; G. E. Gilbert of the
Northwest Victor Talking Machine Company
showed statistics that proved the great increase of
sales in the Talking Machine business in 1927; J. E.
Marsh of the Columbia Graphanola Company gave a
brief review of the company's business for the past
few years, and George O'Xeill, Sonora representative,
told what his company intends to do in the way of
placing the Sonora instrument on the market. A
dance followed the meeting; the music for which was
provided by the Kolster, Panatrope, and Orthophonic.
People trade-in at heavy loss, automobiles, not half
so obsolete as their old phonograph, because they see
the new styles, constantly hear of their smooth power,
note their beauty and are consistently pounded by
dealers who know and watch their 'user list' and by
outside salesmen who bring the new car to the
door," said Mr. Cobb. "More effective selling should
result from greater use of 'user lists' for mail and
direct solicitation, special prospect lists, quick follow-
up of store calls and other well-planned sales cam-
paigns directed to increase store and home demon-
stration by close coordination of inside planning and
outside selling."
S.EEBURG ORGAN FOR KYW.
A Seeburg organ has been installed in the studio
of the KYW broadcasting station in Chicago, and
organ music is to be a regular feature of that station
from now on. The new organ was played for the
first time at the station on Christmas Eve by Miss
Zola Haynes, and John Clark, barytone, sang to her
accompaniment.
sign on terrace of the company's park, a beautiful
landscape design showing a Gennett phonograph
record in the center of a circle, the border of which
reads, "Gennett Records." The letters are in pol-
ished white stone, but closely resemble white flow-
ers. Thus the Starr Piano Company upholds the
national motto of the florists' association to "say it
with flowers." And as flowers and music have a
natural implied intimacy, as at weddings or feasts,
what could be more appropriate?
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Traveling representatives of Presto-Times often
run across Presto restaurants, Presto hotels, Presto
pants-pressing establishments, Presto oiling stations,
and Presto this and Presto that. Although one of
the pioneer users of the word, the claim is not made
to its origin, which far antedates Shakespeare, but
the wide circulation of this publication in many lands
must have accelerated its universal adoption, and
therein is some credit. The latest user is the Frix
I'iano & Phonograph Co., Danville, Va., in adver-
tising the Preston player-piano of New York, which
just adds an "n."
