times in the Bool^/
friendly attitude displayed in most every com-
munity on the West Coast and practiced by a
great many people; yet this practice can stand
more of it, particularly in business competition.
Let the man with the many dollars come down
off his perch and be more democratic. Let the
man who is unfriendly with his competitor rub
liniment on the sore spot, smile with him, shake
hands with him, and discuss how business con-
ditions can be improved so as to make life easier
and more profitable. Let the man who has been
nursing prejudice shut off the food supply and
resume friendly relations with his neighbor and
his fellow citizen. I don't really know whether
Mort is a teetotaller or not, but he had this
much to say: "The fellow who used to break-
fast on old sherry and a new egg now com-
plains that the egg is old and the sherry is
new."
Glen Bros.-Roberts Piano Co.
R. W. MacMurray, the manager, is well
pleased with the results for the year ended and
looks forward to an exceptional gain this year.
This institution is alive in all the departments
and it is quite evident that R. W. MacMurray is
not the type that sits in a swivel chair. While
in conversation I learned he was originally a
Bostonian, not old enough to have come over in
the "covered wagon." We talked of old Boston,
of its lanes, alleys, its scenes and good beans.
Miss Frances Osborne is now in charge of the
sheet music department and is well pleased with
the progress she is making in her sales daily.
This young lady, while new in this work, dem-
onstrates well, and absorbs readily. She's
learning fast and is a real enthusiast.

MILTON WEIL MUSIC CO., INC.
81 W. Randolph St., Chicago, 111.
Twenty-five years ago Ethelbert Nevin,
musician and composer, author of the famous
"Rosary," "Narcissus," "Mighty Lak' a Rose,"
and many other pleasing compositions, passed
away suddenly of heart failure in New Haven,
Connecticut, at the age of thirty-seven.
En Route to Salt Lake City
Breakfast on the train is a time saver. I
found the environment in the dining car quite
pleasing; after a good night's rest I had a good
helping of fruit, cereal and coffee. Right oppo-
site me sat a middle-aged lady and a young boy
and I over heard this conversation: "Now, Os-
wald, you must eat your oatmeal or you'll never
get a man." Oswald: "Auntie, is that why you
eat yours?"
Beesley Music Co.
This concern has been located in Salt Lake
for many years. The head of the company,
Bishop Alvin Beesley, is of the retiring and
quiet type. Mr. Beesley is well pleased with
the business thus far for this year.
The new
manager of the sheet music department is Sel-
den "Sel" N. Heaps. Every one knows the
Heaps of experience he has had in the indus-
try—fifteen years in the music business with the
Consolidated. He is a finished musician and an
organ specialist, now playing at the Paramount
Empress Theatre. He has two busy bees in his
family, Bobbie and Betty. "Sel's" friends in the
music industry will be glad to learn of his new
position and will undoubtedly give him every
aid and support. "Sel" tells one about him-
self. When he was a youngster he was just as
ambitious. He was selling pianos on commis-
sion and it was necessary at that time for him
to carry samples. I didn't know that "Sel" was
such a physical giant though I am mighty
familiar with his mental activities. "Sel" does
not believe in a recent statement made by a
professor of physical culture in which he said
that sleep is merely a habit which may be stifled
if one wishes. Yet at the same time with the
majority the alarm clock often has to kick two
or three times to interfere with the habit.
The Auerbach Co.
This immense department store covers a large
area and is considered one of the most modern
and attractive institutions of its kind in the Far
West. Most anything under the sun with the
possible exception of a Rolls-Royce automobile
is sold here. Herbert Auerbach is the active
head and one of his hobbies is music. He
has written quite a number of good songs.
Perhaps they have lacked the commercial pub-
licity in order to make them popular over the
country. I have listened to quite a number of
them and many have the proper qualifications,
if they were coupled with the large publishers'
routine for popularity. The young lady in
charge of the sheet music department is Miss
Lucile Darton, who is very well known, musi-
cally speaking, in the industry for her ability in
judging good material of a popular type as well
as the good songs and she certainly knows how to
sell them to the public. Being a good listener, she
has stored away in her upper story a great deal
of knowledge pertaining to music. Being a good
musician this comes easy to her.
Facts are facts in this respect. Listening in-
dicates good breeding; listening indicates polite-
ness, respect for the person who talks. In lis-
tening you absorb information. To be able to
listen indicates self-control. Everything worth
while is the result of that. That comes of
silence and concentration. While you listen
you study others. This is a mighty good de-
scription of this young lady whom I have per-
sonally known for quite some time, and no
doubt the firm she is connected with fully ap-
preciates her work.
While going through a long tunnel of snow
sheds en route to Salt Lake, a fellow traveler
while walking through the aisle of Mr. Pullman's
hostelry nearly got into trouble. I overheard
this remark: "Excuse me for hugging you, the
aisle was dark and I mistook you for my wife."
The lady who experienced this episode asked:
"How long have you been married?"
"Ten
years," he said. The lady's answer: "Well, I
suppose I'll have to forgive you. You deserve
credit for hugging your wife after that time."
(A letter from Ogden, Utah, from Maurice
Richmond, appears on another page of this
issue).
Joseph F. Glassmacher, general manager of
tht sheet music department of Chas. H. Ditson
& Co., New York, is being congratulated by
his many friends in the trade upon his recent
election to the directorate of that company.
