bride resided, and the officiating clergyman was
M. J. Scanlan, pastor of the church.
Following the wedding a breakfast and recep-
tion were held at Fraternity Hall, and for this

DOUBLING GENNETT RECORD OUTPUT
Half of New Presses to Be in Operation on
September 15 and Balance Ready in December
RICHMOND, IND., September 7.—The Starr Piano
Co. makes the important announcement that
work has started on the proposed doubling of
the outjHit of Gennett records in an effort to
meet the steadily increasing demand for those
records. The first additional battery of presses
for that purpose is now in transit from the fac-
tory and it is hoped to have them set up and in
operation by September 15. Sufficient equip-
ment to double the present record output is
scheduled to be ready for operation by Decem-
ber 1. When all the new presses are in opera-
tion at capacity the output will be 30,000 Gen-
nett records per day.
Despite the increased facilities the company
expects to have some difficulty in meeting the
record demand in full during the Fall and Win-
ter months, inasmuch as the record business of
the. company has increased almost 300 per cent
over that of last year with an even larger per-
centage on phonographs.

"A short time ago a salesman called to see
the general manager of a large concern in the
export field. As he sat waiting he heard the
sound of music. It seemed to come from the
general manager's office, the door of which was
closed. He listened attentively and, being a
music lover, was able to make out a violin rendi-

"Soon after the salesman got his audience,

" 'As I sat outside waiting I heard someone
playing a violin. I'd like to know who played
it and how music comes to occupy a place in
your day's work, if it does.'
"Thereupon the general manager pointed to
a screen in one corner of his office, back of
