Instrument Furnishes Music for Members of
New York Organization on Trip to the West
Indies
About 450 members of the Level Club of
New York, a local social organization of
Masons, set sail on a cruise to the West Indies
aboard the S.S. "Reliance" on December 19.
One of the organizers of the trip was Philip
Besserman, of the retail sales staff of Hard-
man, Peck & Co., New York, who was instru-
mental in installing a Hardman Welte-Mignon
(Licensee) reproducing grand in the beautiful
main salon of the steamer. Numerous concerts
were given on the Hardman reproducing grand,
at one of which a member of the club disguised
himself as Ignace Paderewski and seated him-
self at the piano while a Paderewski recording
was played.
A cable from Mr. Besserman received this
week by Calvin T. Purdy, retail manager, states
that the Hardman Hour of Music broadcast
from WMCA on Friday evening, December 25,
came in as plain as day on the ship's Radiola
as they lay off Kingston, Jamaica.

Cox Co. in New Store
BROWNWOOD, TEX., December 26.—The A. C. Cox
Music Co. has recently moved from the King
Building on Fisk avenue to a new store on
East Baker street, which has been decorated and
enlarged. The Cox concern was formerly the
Eubanks Music Co., and suffered a heavy fire
loss last Fall. The new store will be equipped
with the same lines of pianos, phonographs and
musical instruments, which were carried in the
old location.
"As many of the parents of pupils
have no pianos, we feel sure that
the coarse is going to result in our
making a number of sales.
"We are very confident that the
"Melody Way" classes are going to
benefit The Miessner Piano Co.,
Parks Music House Co., and the
City of Hannibal."
