Jesse French and Poole Big Favorites in Fine Busi-
ness of the Reed-French Co.
Some Poole grands are now on the way to the
Reed-French Co., and Frank Reed, sales manager,
says the call for them is most insistent. All the
pianos the house can get, they can sell. They have
the Poole, the Jesse French, and others, but not
enough of any of them.
J. W. Baker, polisher of the Gilbert Piano Co.,
has placed a piano polish on the market which is
considered very tine. Mr. Baker is having success
in the manufacture of his product, which is pro-
nounced excellent by those who have used it.
A banquet was given by the piano salesmen of
the Bush & Lane Piano Co. at the Benson Hotel
on Saturday evening in honor of H. A. Smith, the
retiring sales manager of the company.
H. B. Street, who was with the Baldwin Piano
Co. in San Francisco,-is now with the Bush & Lane
Piano Co. of Portland in the phonograph depart-
ment.
Thomas Wilkinson has severed his connection
with the Bush & Lane Piano Co. He has been with
the Portland house for seven or eight years. The
new manager is H. T. Campbell. Mr. Campbell has
been sales manager of the Seattle branch of the
company. H. A. Smith, who has been sales man-
ager of the Portland house for several months, has
been made sales manager of the Seattle house.
Miss Kathleen Narby of Buttle, Mont., is the new

Narby before coming to Portland was with the

The manufacturers of music goods and accesso-

Dr. Allen Hamilton of Fort Wayne did not think
so. As soon as we got out of Mr. Paulding's pres-
ence, the doctor said: 'Mr. Paulding's piano days
are about over. Get him home to Chicago. He had
just been talking to his physician in Chicago when
he sank to the floor and died."
ONE MAN CAN LOAD OR UN-
LOAD A PIANO IN ONE MINUTE
KANSAS
CITY
A compact, light, indestructible device—One man can load or unload a piano in
one minute—Designed to fit Ford Roadster; can be attached to any make of car.
Attached to Ford Roadster in 30 minutes; taken off in less time and car used as a
pleasure vehicle. There's nothing bunglesome, trappy or complicated to get out of
order; yet so well built for service, it will last a lifetime. The weight of the piano,
when loaded, is well to the forward, hence a well balanced and easy-pulling load. Piano
is neither bolted nor strapped, avoiding danger of chafing or otherwise marring—
Will ride safely and securely on its back, over all sorts of roads, and not shift an inch—
Will not jar action out of adjustment. Piano can be unloaded onto a porch or plat-
form, or to the ground, and can be loaded from the ground or curb of sidewalk. Four
talking machines can be hauled upright, two on their backs—Will accommodate four
sewing machines. In daily use by hundreds of dealers from the level plains of Texas
to the hills of Virginia. Dealers using them say they would as soon take their cars
off the road as to take off the Atwood Loader.
With the Atwood Loader- the grief of loading and unloading pianos is a thing of
the past. Any morning the salesman can load his piano, single handed, in less time
than it takes to tell it, and be on his way and stop and demonstrate his instrument at
every farm house, if he so desires, with no more trouble or effort than to fill the radi-
ator of his car.

ONE ATWOOD LOADER, ONE FORD CAR, and ONE MAN
will sell more pianos than any six of the best Piano
salesmen that ever walked in shoe leather—
Needn't take our word, ask the dealers using them
J. YV. Winter, Villisca, Iowa, single handed, loaded and unloaded and sold twenty instruments
in one month on Atwood Loader, sixteen to people he had never seen before; eighteen on which the
transaction was completely closed out in the yard before the instrument was placed in the house. Such
volume of business, for one man, a physical impossibility without an Atwood Loader. The great
house of J. W. Jenkins' Sons Company investigated, ordered one-, tried it out at their St. Joe branch,
and in less than one week we had their order for fifteen. That is only a small part of the order we
expect from them. Every salesman, at every branch, will be using one. It d'ld not take this live
house long to decide that the "Atwood"' was a business getter, as well as a piano loader. Order one
today—It will be the best investment you ever made in the piano business—The price is $65.00, $15.00
cash with order. If still in doubt, write for descriptive matter and list of dealers using them.
