THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
' CARPENTERS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
*
[Special to The Review.]
Brattleboro, Vt, June 26, 1901.
, "We have been running extra time lately,"
remarked Mr. Austin, general manager of the
E. P. Carpenter Co., "and in every way the
outlook is most encouraging. We transact
a very nice foreign trade and notwithstand-
ing the war in South Africa, we are still
shipping goods to Queenstown.
We re-
ceived a letter yesterday frpm our agent who
enclosed another of a sub-agent who wrote
that he was still doing business although the
Boers were only a few miles from the twon
and he had been on skirmish duty recently
and his coat contained the marks of a score
of bullets. They certainly must be having
a warm time over. there, and under those
trying circumstances, still think of buying
organs."
THE VALUE OF TECHNICAL TRAINING.
Ex-Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn, is evi-
dently a believer in the maxim, "Technical
Education, the Key to Success." Although
one of the wealthiest men in the borough,
he has put his son to work in a tannery in
which he is interested, and caused the young
man to begin as an ordinary apprentice at
the foot of the ladder. Mr Schieren holds
that every young man must begin at the
beginning if he is to succeed. We commend
his example to the music trade merchants,
especially retailers. Many a young man has
been wrecked by being pitchforked into a
position of authority without the necessary
training, and many a business has suffered
by being put into the hands of the propri-
etor's sons before the new managers had
acquired sufficient experience and tact to
run it.
