From a concert pianist of dis

kings of America has been the
primrose path of Arnold Johnson.
And this path has been paved with
gold. When success smiles in the
jass world the fickle jade shows
ter gold teeth and showers her
favorites with fame and fortune.
Very fe* concert pianists make
over thirty thonsand a. year. Since
Johnson joined out with the jaxz-

this much every month. Does
dance music pay? It do. It do.
And Service, Too:
The quality of our work and
the materials we sell has often
been discussed in our advertis
ing. Perhaps we have even
slighted a very important part
of our business, our service.
If so, we want to say right here
that we are the home of sudden
service; what you order from us,
you get—and you get it quickly
and in good condition!
