AFFILIATED
M. SCHULZ CO.'S SPRING
ORDERS IN UPWARD TREND
Wholesale orders during the month of March have
made a steady increase at the M. Schulz Co.'s offices
at 711 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago. This is attributed
to the fact that dealers the country over, in choosing
instruments for their spring sales drives, recognize
the merits and sales appeal of the M. Schulz line.
New designs in both uprights and grands have
stimulated sales to the extent that many repeat orders
are being sent by active dealers.
The announcement last week in Presto-Times of
the M. Schulz Marionette, a diminutive reproducing
grand, typifies the activity of the M. Schulz fac-
tories, which are operating at the regular schedule.
The steady production gives the dealer assurance of
prompt deliveries and service for which the Chicago
concern has always been known.
