That is the point of this letter. We want YOU in it, and I believe you
will feel that it is both good judgment and good sportsmanship to do your part.
First of all, I want you to know that you are wanted. In fact, we need your added
strength. If you are too modest to feel that you are important, then take our word
for it, be a good fellow and join us. You may be surprised at the results, and you
will be proud to hang out your membership certificate where all can see it.
You are sure to benefit. There are special services to come; advance
and statistical information to be given; managerial, advertising and sales help for
members; and a great annual Convention and Trade Show with activities galore for
profit, fun and friendships for those who attend. Ours is the opportunity to tickle
the feet, strengthen the hands, brighten the mind, and make joyous the heart of man-
kind with music. Yours is the opportunity to join hands with us for the good of all.
No business or association prospers on delay or good excuses. Pick up
your membership application now, make your mark, write a check, lick the stamp, drop
her in the box, and then see if you don't feel better for coming along. We are ex-
pecting you, and will be mighty glad to have you.
With best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I am,
Sincerely yours,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC MERCHANTS.
