FROM J. W. WYLIE. BALDWIN
REPRESENTATIVE
"I would like to relate an interesting experience. As we
stopped at Danville, Illinois, the temperature was over 100,
and the heat was terrible. The dealer had been up at four
o'clock, went out and delivered a piano, and back by the mid-
dle of the forenoon, rested, and was leaving with another
piano at seven o'clock that evening when the weather was
cooler. Working early and late, resting during the heat of the
day, they sold eight new pianos during July. That's salesman-
ship! Keep your eye on Danville!"

MAGNAVOX DEALERS' DINNER
The Magnavox Company held a Dealers' Dinner in the
Boulevrad Room of the Stevens
Hotel, on July 30. The Mag-

fair was an unusual success.
It was attended by almost 300
members of the Magnavox
dealer and factory organiza-
tions. The new line, which was
presented by the Vice Presi-
dent, Frank Freimann, was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm.
Mr. William Howard Beas-
ley presided at the meeting
following the dinner and short
talks were given by Mr. R. A.
O'Conner, President of Mag-
navox, and Mr. L. M. Sand-
wick, the Sales Manager. It is
significant of Magnavox prog-
ress in this industry that in
attendance at the dinner, as
Magnavox dealers, were many
of the most prominent names
in the N.A.M.M.
