A VERSATILE MANUFACTURER.
Hamilton S. Gordon, one of the most ver-
satile manufacturers within the boundaries
of the musical industries, has, ever since he
undertook the control of the Gordon busi-
ness at his father's death, carried along suc-
cessfully every branch of the Gordon inter-
ests in a conservative and dignified, yet en-
terprising, spirit.
Mr. Gordon, whilst exercising a complete

personal supervision over every department
of his big business, finds time and oppor-
tunity to give the weight of his presence
and influence to the deliberations of all as-
sociations having in view the betterment of
the musical industries as a whole. He is
ever ready with practical hints and sugges-
tions, nearly all of which find favor in the
eyes of his associates. The Gordon outlook
for 1901-2 is excellent.
