JOHN W. BOOTHE JOINS
THE MAY CO., LOS ANGELES
Prominent Southern Californian Makes Change After
Sixteen Years' Association with Barker Bros.
John W. Boothe. for the past sixteen years asso-
ciated with Barker Bros., Los Angeles, has resigned,
to join May Company in that city. Through his
abilities and energy Mr. Boothe had steadily in-
creased the general music business of Barker Bros.
to its present annual volume of a million a year.
When he joined Barker Bros, in 1912 his previous
experience had been in the piano phase of the music
business. But in the phonograph and record lines of
the company he saw possibilities of great develop-
ment. These he realized and in time achieved the
same successes for pianos.
When radio first made its appeal to the music trade
Mr. Boothe was the first to establish a radio depart-
ment in connection with a music department and for
some time enjoyed a business that was almost a
monopoly, in the sale of radio sets in Los Angeles.
Mr. Boothe was president of the Music Trades
Association of Southern California, 1921-22, secretary
of the National Association of Music Merchants,
1925-26, and he is at the present time president of the
Radio Trades Association of Southern California.
