SONG TITLE DISPLAYS HELP PIANO SALES
A dealer writes that he had occasion to adopt a
suggestion offered by PRESTO-TIMES about show-
ing song titles in display windows. This dealer says
he put in his window the song entitled "A Piano for
Me" and it brought into the store a party that bought
the upright piano on which that piece of music was
shown. He said he had used other songs to attract
attention for special sales and special occasions, one
of them, "Come to Florida Just Now," brought in a
customer.
This has worked so well why not try a new song
just out, the name of which is "All Right, Den; De
Souf Fo' Me, The Nof Fo' Yo\" Another good one
would be, "That Carolina Home Fo' Dis Child."

A Wonderful Dance Number
In addition to the words and regular piano music,
it contains a modern DUET DIAGRAM AR-
RANGEMENT for Hawaiian Guitars and a Span-
ish Guitar Accompaniment.
BABY EYES
"Baby Eyes" is the title to a new home song suc-
cess, written by a man you know. He's the man
who writes all the chatter, skits and movie talk for
Joe Penner, radio star. This writer went to the office
of the National Music Company and showed them his
novelty songs, but they asked him to write a song
about the white baby that would be a credit to any
baby: a song that every mother or father, and every
lover of the better songs would like. He went home,
and called again in a few weeks. The company then
engaged the greatest arranger in Chicago to arrange
it and write the piano accompaniment. Both of these
names are on the song. You've heard it from your
radio station, no doubt, as it has been chosen by very
best singers and orchestras and broadcast on the big
station chain hook-ups. It is finely printed with at-
tractive title page and the company sends extra title
pages for framing and window trims to those who
order copies.
The National Music Company, Chicago, is nationally
and internationally known. They have a message to
dealers who wish to make profits and sell a good line
of music at the same time. This company started
"Way Back'' in 1882, yet the catalogue is always up-
to-date with good sellers, old and new. that bring
customers back to the store. Unlike other famous
publishing houses, the National does not have start
writers but they are always in the market for some-
thing good—a novelty in sheet music, a book, etc.,
from the pen of various writers of America. Some of
their best sellers were from unknown writers. They
sell music for the church, school, male and mixed
choruses, vocal solos, piano and violin collections.
Dealers will find the National Catalogue profitable.

MELVILLE'S FOR MUSIC, IN NEW
LOCATION
Melville's For Music, Asheville, N. Car., owned
and controlled by Mrs. Corinna Melville, a talented
business and professional woman who went down to
that country from Chicago, is now located in one of
the largest department chain stores of the South,
having moved from smaller quarters at 6 Biltmore
avenue, where formerly located. This concern car-
ries a line of band and orchestra instruments aside
from the line of Baldwin pianos which they repre-
sent in that section. Ernest Gresham, recently ot
Nashville, Term., a well-known bandmaster and
musician, has become associated with Melville's For
Music. Mrs. Melville has become widely known as
an organizer of bands and orchestras and music pro-
moter. For a long time she was associated with
C. G. Conn, Ltd., Elkhart, Ind., Lyon & Healy,
Chicago, and the Tri-State Band and Orchestra
School, Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. Melville is a com-
poser of several compositions which have recently
sprung into popularity. Mrs. Melville intends to
be present at the Music Trades Convention in July.
