GRADY S BAND
MUST HAVE
SUPPORT
Band Boys Are Asking Mer.
chants to Aid Organization.
People Want Concerts.

All the members of the Albuquer-
que band are interviewing merchants
IN an effort to secure more support
than the city has given the organiZa-
ton in the past and the outcome of
the house-to-house canvass of the
merchants will decide whether the
band will be maintained or whether
IL will disband.
The organization has gained a good
reputation as a band throughout the
southwest and the attendance at the
concert last sunday evening is taken
as an indication that the Albuquer-
que people generally want the sun
day evening concerts continued
throughout the summer. Members of
the band say, however, that either
the city or the merchants must be
more Hoersl in support of the organ
ization, as 1t is impossible to keep
the band up to standard without suf-
ficien; backing.
The band will soon elect a man
aser from among the business men
OF the city who contributed to its sup
port. The former manager recently
resigned but no one has been chosen
tc take his place.
The organization is perhaps strong
er in the number and ability of mu-
sicians than a band of any city of
similar size in the country, and has
n'ver failed to win admirers wher-
ever 1t appeared. The personnel is
as follows:
