THE
7VSVSIC TRKDE
WHY THEY RETURNED THANKS.
Alfred J. Newby, of Newby & Evans,—
because his earnest work for the maintenance
of a high standard product is being more
widely appreciated every year.
John Ludwig, of Ludwig & Co.,—because
the fire adjusters seem likely to reach a de-
cision some time this side of Christmas.
Frank C. Decker, of Decker & Son,—be-
cause his latest baby grand has made a hit,
and thereby strengthened the Decker name.
Jacob Doll—because he was born under a
lucky star.
William Strich, of Strich & Zeidler,—be-
cause he has such a practical, level-headed
partner as Paul Zeidler.
Albert Staib, of the Staib-Abendschein
Co.,—because actions speak louder than
words.
REVIEW
Hugo Sohmer, of Sohmer & Co.,—because
even if they do erect a 20-story building
across the way it can cast no shadow on the
Sohmer piano, either grand or upright.
Theodore PfafHin, of the Apollo Co.,—
because his many friends have rallied to his
support in great shape and left his few ene-
mies without a leg to stand on.
Charles H. Parsons, of the Needham Piano
& Organ Co.,—because, although piano and
organ-making is serious business, there is a
humorous side to it—and that's no joke.
John Weser, of Weser Bros,—because he
can use one pedal more on his piano than
most manufacturers; consequently he "has"
them on a string—a mandolin string, see ?

Allen, in Large Numbers—Two more Carloads

In the far West, as well as in that part of
our country sometimes called the effete East,
the old reliable Steck has won a proud posi-
tion among the distinguished instruments
of America. Great men represent it in vari-
ous localities. On the Pacific Slope, from
British Columbia to the cactus covered plains
of New Mexico, the name of Wiley B. Allen

WILEY B. ALLEN.
is known and recognized as a wide-awake
music trade hustler. Wiley is a trade gem
of the purest ray serene, and he has sold a
good many thousand pianos since the old
boyhood days, when he played a cornstalk
fiddle in the wilds of Oregon. When he
recognized the importance of San Francisco
as the metropolis of the Pacific slope and
moved his great business to that point, he also
kept his weather eye well on the famous old
Steck, and it landed right with him in the
busy mart of the Pacific.
Wiley B. Allen has long been a staunch
admirer of the Steck. He knows its trade
worth, and he has been selling it in large
quantities. It occupies a point of vantage
in his San Francisco rooms. He has pushed
it indefatigably as his leading piano. Dur-
ing this year carloads of Steck pianos
have been shipped to the Wiley B. Allen
branches. Next month there will be two more
carloads sent out across the Continent to the
famous Pacific Coast dealer.
The Steck has a firm hold upon the music-
lovers of the Pacific slope, and elsewhere, for
that matter, for the Steck takes high rank
among the instruments in upper pianodom.
Recently Mr. Allen said of the Steck:
"For some twenty odd years we have been
selling on this coast the old reliable Steck
piano. We have shipped them to the ice-
clad hills of Alaska, to the mist-laden val-
leys of Oregon and Washington, to the fer-
tile plains of California, and into the tropics
of lower Mexico, and from one end of the
coast to the other the Steck pianos we have
sold have won for us, as well as for them-
selves, much popularity; and to-day we still
put forth the Steck as a piano which will
give eminent satisfaction in any clime or in
any country."
