Illinois Record Service Commercial Building Chicago, Illinois RETURNS FROM WESTERN TRIP Frank K. Pennington, assistant general sales manager of the Columbia Graphophone Co., returned Monday from a week's Western trip, which included a visit to Columbia branches in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Buffalo. Mr. Pennington states that conditions in this territory are splendid, every Columbia branch manager reporting sales totals far in advance of last year. The Buffalo branch closed in May the largest business in its history, and Mr. Pennington was advised this week by Fred E. Mann, manager of the Boston branch, that the month of May was the largest month so far this year. Another encouraging report was also received this week from W. C. Fuhri, manager of the Chicago branch, who states that the sales totals for May showed an increase of 100 per cent, over last year. In fact, in all sections of the country the business situation is most satisfactory.
