GOGGAN'S PIANO PUBLICITY.

REVIEW
B, and two uprights made especially for the
Goggan house. In the player line the Angelus
is shown in cabinet form and also as a player-
piano. Interspersed throughout the volume are
interesting talks upon piano buying. The en-
tire columes makes a splendid brief for the
Goggan house and for the instruments which
they represent.
The production of a volume of so ambitious a
character as this by a dealer is somewhat of
a novelty, and it demonstrates the faith which
the Goggan house have in the intruments they
lepresent. The investment which they have
made will, however, pay large dividends.
TRADE NEWS FROM DETROIT.
New Traveling Men for Clough & Warren Co.—
Schwankovsky
Trustee Appointed—Manu-
facturers Co. Alterations—Funeral of J. A.
Leonard—Pall Bearers Officials and Comrades
(Special to The Ueview.)

Following the expansion method inaugurated
at the incorporation of the Clough & Warren Co.
two new traveling salesmen have been employed
by that company, and they take up their new
duties this week. Arnold C. Einstein, who was
formerly employed in Rochester, N. Y., and who
is said to be one of the best traveling salesmen
In the piano trade, started out Monday morning
to cover the western territory for Clough &
Warren. J. G. Coulson, of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
who is well known to the trade in Michigan, will
cover part of Michigan.
"Business is humming," says Auditor Essex.
"Last Saturday we sent out three car loads of
pianos to the western trade and despite the fact
that we are working overtime at the factory we
are behind in our orders." W. W. Washburn,
secretary and treasurer of the Clough & Warren
Co., was a t the factory at Adrain all last week
going over the acounts of the firm and transact-
ing other business.
The Security Trust Co. was appointed trustee
of the F. J. Schwankovsky Co. by Referee in
Bankruptcy Harold P. Davock last week despite
the objections of certain Schwankovsky interests
represented by the law firm of Bowen, Douglass,
Whiting & Eaman. The court also appointed F.
J. Bayley, the piano man, and Howard Miner,,
sales manager of the Wilber Player Piano Co., ap-
praisers of the Schwankovsky property and they
have performed their duties. The property will
now be disposed of by the trustee.

Piano Co. and the King Piano Co., who has been
on a pleasure and business trip to the coast, is
in Detroit. The executive committe of the Man-
ufacturers' Piano Co. will hold a meeting next

decorated so that the company will have as fine
appearing salesrooms as can be found in Detroit.
The funeral of J. A. Leonard, traveling auditor
of the Farrand Co., who died last Sunday in
Pensacola, Fla., as a result of injuries sustained
in an automobile accident, was held in Detroit
last Thursday. The pall bearers were all officials
and comrades of the dead man connected with
the Farrand Co. A successor to Mr. Leonard
will not be selected until Secretary James A.
Stewart, of the company, returns from the

CARRY OUT TERMS OF CONTRACT.
Baldwin Co. Make Friends by Promptness in
Observing Insurance Clause of Contract at
Trnie of Death—Present Family with Re-
ceipt in Full—Creates Good Impression-
(Special to The Review.)
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 26, 1910.
The Baldwin Co. store in this city recently
started a piano buying club, one of the features
being a life insurance clause, wherein they agree
to give a receipt in full in the event of a club
member's death before the piano is paid for.
Among the many to become members of this
club was the late Nathaniel Hardy, 1466 Lee
street, who was taken with pneumonia, and
after an illness of a few days died February 15.
Notice was given of Mr. Hardy's death, and im-
mediately a messenger was despatched through
the snow and presented the family with a receipt
in full for the piano. That the Baldwin Co.'s
act was appreciated was evident from the remarks
of Mrs. Hardy, who said that in the midst of
their sorrow they could think of the piano and
be glad that it was not lost to their little daugh-
ter. That the Baldwins have established them-
selves firmly in the estimation of the Hardys and
their friends is very evident.

Editor Music Trade Review:
Dear Sir—I cannot refrain from compliment-
ing you on your editorial in last week's Review
regarding the duties of a traveling representa-
tive. A traveling man that works by the clock
can never be successful and will save time and
much money by handing in his resignation to
his firm. A salesman should consider his firm
first at all times and entirely forget personal
comforts and conveniences.
The gentleman who desired to know his work-
ing hours should discontinue traveling and se-
cure some employment that will permit him to
join a labor union.
I hope all traveling representatives will read
your article and that it will have the desired
effect on the doubtful ones.
Yours respectfully,
S. A. LlCHTENSTEIN,
Representing F. Engelhardt & Sons.
