SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., August 1.—The recent
remodeling of the Wiley B, Allen Co. store at
1031 Fifth street has made possible the addition
of a sheet music department which was installed
to-day, according to a statement made by J. H.
Cooley, manager, yesterday.
The contract for the building of the wall fix-
tures, counters and showcases was recently
given to Schieffer & Sons, of this city, and will
conform in design and color to the beautiful
fixtures of the other departments manufactured
by this concern and installed last Fall.
The requirements of instrumental and vocal
teachers, orchestra leaders, choir and band mas-
ters, music students and the music-loving public
will be cared for by complete stocks from the
leading music publishers of America and Eu-
rope, including the library editions of B. F.
Wood, G. Schirmer, Carl Fisher, Oliver Ditson,
Clayton F. Summy, Boston Music Co., Peter's
Edition, Durand, Steingraber and many others,
as well as the leading publishers of popular
music.
"The addition of a music department is a re-
sult of a constant demand from our patrons
and our desire to give a more complete music
store service than the physical arrangements of
our store in the past have permitted. We
promise a stock and service second to none on
the Pacific Coast," says Cooley.
The Review herewith reproduces the window
display which won the Century trophy cup
given by the Century Music Pub. Co. for the
best window showing of the Century Certified
Edition during the past season. This is the
first of eight prize-winners and is the window

George A. Friedman
Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Business Manager of Jack Mills, Inc., Receives
Congratulations of Fellow Workers Upon His
Silver Wedding Anniversary
George A. Friedman, business manager of
Jack Mills, Inc., and his wife recently cele-
brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their
wedding. Mr. Friedman received congratula-
tions from his co-workers and many of his
friends in the trade who were aware of the
important event in his life.
Mr. Friedman is one of the best-known music
men in the publishing field. He has been con-
nected with some of its most successful houses
and has a wide range of acquaintance among
dealers and other important factors. For a
number of years he was general manager of the
Broadway Music Corp., following which he as-
sisted in organizing and placing on a firm
foundation the firm of McCarthy & Fisher
which later changed its name to Fred Fisher,
Inc. For a short time he was in business for
himself under the trade name, George A. Fried-
man, Inc. In all, he has been connected with
the music publishing business over twenty-two
years.
Two more convictions have been scored in
Chicago as a result of a campaign against song
sharks instituted by the Post Office Department
in co-operation with the Better Business Bureau
of the Music Industries Chamber of Commerce
and other interests to end, if possible, that type
of fraud.
In the latest Chicago case, Lester E. Simmons
and Mary F. Letgers, operating under various
names, including the Idyl Publishing Co., War-
field Music Service, Letgers Music Co., etc.,
were let off with fines of $750 and $250, re-
spectively, by U. S. Judge Carpenter, after re-
funds had been made to those of their victims
whose complaints were on file and who had
expressed their satisfaction with the outcome of
their transaction.
In addition to paying fines the defendants also
signed an affidavit in which the postmaster at
Chicago was instructed to treat as refused all
mail addressed to the company names under
which they had been operating.
Investigation of the case brought out a num-
ber of pathetic incidents. One girl in Ohio, a
cripple, had paid to the defendants money being
saved for an operation in an effort to improve
her financial condition by writing songs. An-
other invalid received back nearly $300 paid
to the sharks.
