class-advertising

Updated: May 26, 2025

An orchestra with first-class musickers and a swell conductor and I believe we ought to do the thing up brown and get one of the highest-paid conductors on the market, providing he ain't a Hun it goes right into Beantown and New York and Washington; it plays at the best theaters to the most cultured and moneyed people; it gives such class-advertising as a town can get in no other way; and the guy who is so short-sighted as to crab this orchestra proposition is passing up the chance to impress the glorious name of Zenith on some big New York millionaire that might-that might establish a branch factory here!
