From ten in the morning until six in the evening Mr. Erno held open house at Mr. Fazekas' store, autographing his photos and presenting one to every record buyer. Over 2,000 people visited the store, and at times the crowd became so great on the sidewalk in front that it was necessary to have the police clear the way.
