at Mr. Mauzy's store since the convention week,
when he had many visitors looking over the
various •sample lines to which he gave space in
his building; but A. A. Batkin, the manager, re-
ports a good steady business for this time of
year, and the talking machine department, which
has lately undergone material improvements, is
more than holding its own.

THREE INTERESTING FOLDERS.
THE IMPROVED "AMERICAN STYLE A"
WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY TROUBLE
Visited Sacramento.
Henry Hauschildt, of the Hauschildt Music Co.,
made a trip to Sacramento a few days ago to try
out a new automobile and incidentally make a visit
to his branch store, which he says is doing very
well for this time of year.
Expect Visit from Noted Chicagoans.
C. S. Walter, of the Walter & Nichols Co., ex-
pects a visit within the next few weeks from J.
V. Steger, of Steger & Sons, and W. L. Bush,
of the Bush & Gerts Piano Co., whose lines he
has handled from the start. The Walter &
Nichols Co. is now comfortably settled, after
being under difficulties for some time due to alter-
ations in the building, and are getting thinks well
lined up for the fall campaign.
Visiting New Branch Stores.
Mr. Stephens, of Sherman, Clay & Co., is taking
a trip this week to Stockton and Fresno, where
new branch stores are being fitted up. The store
at Stockton will be occupied within a few weeks,
but the Fresno place will take longer, as the build-
ing is not yet complete. At both places the out-
look is favorable, and it is expected that the im-
proved facilities will be secured in time to be of
the greatest advantage.
