Daynes Family Proves
Dangerous to Trout
C EATTLE, WASH., July 6.—Seattle's new-
^-* est ballroom was opened recently, and has
already proven one of the most popular gather-
ing places that the city has. This is the
Trianon, located on Third avenue about eight
blocks north of the center of the retail district.
The head of the new company is John Savage,
of the Butler Hotel, and the official orchestra
is Herb Wiedoeft and his Brunswick Recording
Orchestra, who use Conn instruments exclu-
sively.
The Seattle Radio and Music Trades Asso-
ciation has selected this new hall as the scene
of their first annual Radio Ball, to which it
is expected several hundred couples will come.
It has been heavily advertised by huge window
posters throughout the city and has been an-
nounced both by local radio stations and every
night for the past three weeks at the ballroom
itself.
O. H. Spindler in Charge of Sherman, Clay
Store
• O. H. Spindler, who was put in charge of
the Seattle Sherman, Clay store, is making fine
records in his position. He stepped into this
in the early Spring, but the news did not get
O. H. Spindler
around for several weeks, so modest is he and
so opposed to publicity. He deserves the pro-
motion, as ever since the days years ago when
he entered the Tacoma, Wash., store as a
salesman he has been making a record of
dependability and ability. Mr. Robinson, who
was formerly manager of the store, has taken
over the entire Northwestern field as district
manager.

In July the University Music Co., with Ned
Douglas as proprietor, will move into its splen-
did new quarters in the College Center Build-

is having all the latest improvements added to
it in construction and finish. It is designed
along the modified Spanish and Gothic lines.
Mr. Douglas will occupy the corner of the
building, with two fronts for extensive window
trims and displays.
There are to be nine
phonograph display and record rooms, a com-
plete and up-to-date radio department, piano
rooms, with a special large studio for the
display of grands. There will also be a large
repair shop and used piano room. The Uni-
versity Music Store has been in existence for
seven years and now occupies a leading place
in the thriving, university business district.

Rice has joined the phonograph department in

Sheet Music Department Gets New Manager
The sheet music department of Sherman,
Clay & Co., in Tacoma, Wash., is now under
the management of Ronald Carpenter, who has
been employed for some time in this depart-
ment in the Seattle store. He replaces Al.

manager, in his turn replacing the manager
there. Mr. Carpenter's place has been taken
here by Don Picard, formerly in the office.

The prisoner with "the ball and chain" upon his ankle has only a limited
sphere of activity. The piano dealer who cannot lift a piano on the back
of his Ford runabout and run it out to the prospect's home for demonstration
is likewise limited. The prisoner has got to serve his time, but the piano
dealer can get a Bowen loader.
