SOUTHERN JOBBERS STIR INTEREST IN RECORDS The merchandising of records in the Baltimore and Washington areas got a boost recently when Southern Wholesalers, RCA distributors there, held a big dealer meeting on the subject of promoting Bluebird records. Tom Joyce, RCA Victor advertising manager, appeared at the meeting with a dramatically illustrated talk on "the scientific and technical contributions which have greatly improved the quality of recording and reproduction." Mr. Joyce also pointed out that radio was the friend, and not the enemy, of the phonograph, declaring that "Millions of people daily hear fine dance music, opera, symphony, etc.; thousands of those who listen will want to hear the music again and again. And that means more record sales." Also on the program were J. M. Williams, H. P. Brightman, William E. O'Connor, William J. Kelley, Edward Denham, Joseph Camp and A. J. McGettrick. 1 D^DT>S^J^DK '1 ! i H^crf™^*" ■*! lit ■ i ■ M ■ Dramatically New!
