PROVING FAITH IN MEN.
"Sound business policy demands that every man
in a responsible position have support from his supe-
riors," says Thomas J. Watson, president of the In-
ternational Business Machines Corporation. "We
must prove our faith in our men by demonstrating
the dependence of the business on the m-en who run
it, and, in turn, their dependence on the men who
help them carry out their respective operations. Men
at the head of businesses face the necessity and the
opportunity of taking more of their men into their
confidence and showing them the way, realizing that
their knowledge will produce dollars in profits."
WORLD'S GREATEST HOLIDAY.
"There is no nation in the world which loves music
so well, and if I may say so, so wisely—as the Eng-
lish," says Cyril Davis in the Music Seller, of Lon-
don. "As a nation w r e love music because it is asso-
ciated in our national consciousness with the greatest
of our national customs and traditions. Every great
national holiday and festival, sacred or secular, is to
some extent linked up with our love of music. It is
hardly surprising, therefore, that Christmas which is
not only a national, but a universal holiday, should
be closely associated with the spirit of music. Christ-

New Or'eans
Charles Naegele, American pianist, ami
the Baldwin Siring Quartet were heard "at
the Baldwin" on Sunday evening, Decem-
ber 15. The program was broadcast over
Station WJZ and the associated stations
of the National Broadcasting Chain at
7:30 p. m. Eastern standard time. At the
age of 17 Naegele entered and won a com-
petition which entitled him to an appear-
ance in Aeolian Hall, New York with the
Young Men's Symphony Orchestra, under
the direction of Arnold Volpe. So favor-
ably was he received that Volpe invited
him to go on tour with the orchestra.
After serving in the World's War he
resumed his studies, receiving his acade-
mic training at Yale and his musical train-
ing from Isidor Philipp in Paris and
Arthur Schnabel in Berlin.
He played in Paris, Vienna, Budapest,
Christiania, London, Liverpool, Manches-
ter and Bournemouth. He has been en-
gaged as soloist with the following sym-
phony orchestras: the New York, Chi-
cago, Detroit and Newark and Boston.
The Baldwin n ring Quartet, consisting
of Ottokar Cadek, first violin; Jaroslav
Siskovsky, second violin; Bedrich Vaska,
'cellist, and Ludvik Schwab, violist, will
share the program with Charles Naegele.

SANTA ON THE JOB
JONES' SLOGANS
Jones, the Piano Man, of 613 Nebraska
street, Sioux City, Iowa, carries a very
representative and saleable line of pianos.
He styles his house, "Home of the Chick-
ering," the Chickering evidently being his
leader, with the Schiller, Packard, and
Kimball pianos in addition. Some of Mr.
Jones' mottoes and slogans employed in
advertising are unique.
One reads: "Our best advertisements:
pleased customers." Another one says:
"Our methods make friends of our cus-
tomers and customers of their friends."
To end up the compliments paid Mr.
Jones, is to say that he is enjoying quite
a satisfactory business in both pianos and
radios.
