THRIVING PIANO FIRM RUNS
THREE KENTUCKY STORES
Harding & Miller Continues to Extend Its Influence
Throughout the State.
QUALITY FIRST
T. R. Yates, manager Harding & Miller's piano
store, Madisonville, Ky., and his brother, G. W.
Yates, manager of a piano store at Marion, Ky.,
have returned from Chicago where they have been
purchasing supplies preparatory to opening a piano
store at Hopkinsville, Ky. These gentlemen are
hustlers and are sure to make good wherever they
establish a business. T. R. Yates, during the few
years he has been in business in Madisonville, has
built up a wonderful patronage. The brothers are
interested jointly in all three stores.
Hopkinsville is a thriving town in the southwest
corner of Christian county, famous for its tobacco
crops. The county is also rich in other agricultural
resources and is a most likely place to pursue the
piano and playerpiano customer. The Madisonville
store of the company serves a big section of Hop-
kins county as the Marion one does for an equally
big and prosperous stretch of picturesque Critten-
den county.

Trade Members from Various Sections of the Coun-
try Shown "Hard at Jt."
The Luther T. Adams Music House, Shelbyville,
111., "bunches its hits" in advertising and lays par-
ticular stress on the desirability of owning a player-
piano. As a consequence the firm has developed
a fine player business.
The Diehl Piano Exchange, Morrison, 111., has
opened a music store in a newly acquired building
on East Main street. J. I. Wilkins, an experienced
piano tuner of that city, will have charge of the
business.
The Apollo playerpiano is ably featured by the
H. P. Maus Piano House, Lima, O. The firm this
week alludes to the Apollo as "the instrument that
satisfies your every musical desire and plays with
human expression."
"Before you buy that piano, it is to your best
interest to see Smith, the dealer with the largest
stock of pianos in Ashland County. Here you will
find the best standard makes," is the advice of
F. W. Smith's Music Store, Ashland, O., which han-
dles the Kroeger, Hallet & Davis, and other pianos
and players.
"If you are looking for a player that plays easier
than a Gulbransen, they don't make 'em. Known
the world over for their quality, service, and, too,
their prices," says the Globe Furniture Company,
Chillicothe, Ohio.
Fergusson Hall is well known to the people
throughout Virginia. It is the more familiar title
of the store of the Lee Fergusson Piano Co., Rich-
mond, which handles a general line of music goods.
The pianos handled by the progressive Richmond
house include the Chickering, Packard, Marshall &
Wendell and Brambach pianos and players and the
Apollo, Ampico and Artemis playerpianos.
The Schneider Music Co., Vincennes, Ind., which
opened for business at 1238 Main street, has opened
a new store at 17 North Second street. The same
efficient service given in the Main street store will
be given in the new establishment. The firm han-
dles the Jesse French & Sons and Story & Clark
pianos and players and the Gulbransen and Artemis
players.
The O. K. Houck Piano Company, Little Rock,
Ark., in an ad for the Vose small grand this week,
says: "A revelation in its wonderful volume of the
beautiful Vose tone—one never realizes the great
difference in tone and volume of small grands until
one has compared this exquisite instrument with all
others."
"No other unit in your entire household can ex-
ercise so wide an influence on all the members of the
family as a playerpiano. It radiates harmony, hap-
piness and good cheer. It is the friend of everyone
in the home and its helpful spirit permeates the
young and old alike," says the Armstrong Music
Company, Oklahoma City, Okla.
INVITING THE TEACHERS.
Visiting teachers to Omaha, Neb., are always sure
of a cordial welcome in the store of the Schmoller
& Mueller Piano Co., which addresses the teachers
as follows: "You can spend a most agreeable half
hour in here, listening to some of the latest hits in
sheet music or some of the new records or player
rolls. It will be a pleasure to wait upon you, to
demonstrate our merchandise, and to familiarize you
with this great department store of music."
