J. L. Hudson Co. Features Most Popular Rolls
Each Month in Big Way in Its Advertising

New Apparatus Provides Means for Bringing
Out Melody or Bass in Player Music
H. S. Holley Praises This Instrument Highly—
Customers Enthusiastic Over It
May 15.—The music roll de-
partment of the J. L. Hudson Co. is pushing
with success the following new rolls: "Ragtime
Pipes of Pan," "The Dixie Highway March,"
"Down Where the Swanee River Flows," "I
Love You, That's One Thing I Know" and
"You're On," fox trot by Lee S. Roberts. Each
month the Hudson Co. announces the most
popular new rolls through the newspapers and
by an attractive display card in the window.
Since L. B. Hartwell took hold of the music
roll department, business has shown a splendid
increase. Mr. Hartwell is constantly on the
job and is alert to any live method or sales
plan that will dispose of more music rolls. He
is full of the Western spirit of always wanting
to do something new.
tachable to player-pianos to bring out the mel-
ody of music has been invented by Edward A.
Tappe and Harry E. Weaver, Los Angeles,
Cal., for which Patent No. 1,182,330 was granted
last week. This invention is adapted to bring
out the solo, air, or melody of music; and it
may be said to consist in the provision of the
novel and advantageous features and in the
novel and improved construction, arrangement
and combinations of parts, devices and mechan-
isms.
One object of the invention is to provide a
novel and improved device which can be readily
applied to existing player-pianos without re-
constructing or marring the player-pianos, and
which can be used .or not—as may be desired
by the operator—to effect the accenting of such
of the notes of music as will bring out or render
more prominent the air or melody of the music.
Further objects of the invention are to pro-
vide a novel and improved device of the nature
specified, which is simple and inexpensive to
manufacture and install, readily adjustable in
use, easily and quickly rendered operative or
inoperative at will, and which is practical and
effective for its purpose.

The Tonk Triplex Electric player, which has
been put on the market for some time by Wm.
Tonk & Bro., Thirty-sixth street and Tenth
avenue, New York, has created much interest
not only among the dealers who are handling
them, but the general public.
That the dealers have been having success
with them has been manifested in the enthu-
siastic letters which have been received by Wm.
Tonk & Bro. from all those who have come
in contact with it. One of the recent was from
H. S. Holley, of Carroll, la. Mr. Holley is en-
thusiastic regarding this instrument, and says:
"The Triplex Electric player arrived to-day,
was unboxed and put in the store floor, and we
and dozens of our customers who have been
in and heard it to-day, cannot praise it enough.
To say that we are pleased with it is only half
expressing it. It is just wonderful. The tone
of the piano is delightfully full and sweet, and
the automatic expression devices used with the
electric power arc all but human. I think it
marvelous. I hope to find a customer who will
allow his purse strings to be touched by his
emotions, for I know it will be easy to reach
him with the Tonk Triplex Electric player.
