CHRISTMAN
Famous
Studio Grand
A WONDERFUL SMALL GRAND
only five feet long which embodies all
the advantages of the larger grands
and possessing a tone volumn and
range of expression surprisingly broad.
Musicians quickly recognize the
characteristic tone qualities of the
CHRISTMAN GRAND
Guylce, in nominating Mark Campbell for president
of the manufacturers' association.
Col. F. B. T. Hollenberg's presentation of J. Edwin
Butler, for the presidency of the merchants' associa-
tion, was one of the glittering events of Wednesday
night. There are some eloquent speakers in the busi-
ness, but none more fluent than the member from
Little Rock.
T. L. Floyd-Jones Present.
T. Linton Floyd-Jones, Chas. T. Carter and F. G.
Smith, of W. P. Haincs & Co., were busy members of
the New York contingent all week. Interest in the
Bradbury and W. P. Raines instruments was clearly
demonstrated.
Story & Clark Piano Co. had the most extensive
of all the exhibits, it occupying several rooms, pre-
senting the appearance of a well equipped piano
house.
O. A. Nelson, of Nelsou-Wiggen Co., says he
had good orders booked for his industry as a result
of his display of coin-operated automatic pianos.
Strangers to the industry who consulted the Spe-
cial Exhibits board in the lobby of the Great North-
ern Hotel must have thought that a lady had em-
barked extensively in the piano industry. For the
address there shown was "The Jessie French & Sons
Piano Co."
On Honeymoon.
Peter Duffy, Jr., who was in charge of the Schubert
Piano Co.'s exhibit, is a comparatively new "newly-
wed." He was accompanied by his bride of a month
and made a good impression as a thorough "piano
man." Mr. Mulcahey, assistant to Mr. Duffy, is a
man of long and extensive experience in the piano
field. He was for many years with the New England
Piano Co. when Thos. Scanlan was alive.
Lowell Will, of the Geo. C. Will Music Store, of
Salem, Ore., accompanied by his wife, attended the
Prosperity Convention at Chicago this week. At its
conclusion he left for New York.
H. J. Baker, Los Angeles, Cal., was one of the wel-
come visitors to the exhibit of the Packard Piano Co.
in Room 240. Mr. Baker is a Packard enthusiast.
H. H. Bradley, manager of the Chase-Hackley
Piano Co., was over from Muskegon, Mich., for the
convention. He met the travelers for the company,
as well as a number of Chase-Hackley dealers, at the
Drake.
James C. Henderson, eastern manager for Lyon &
Healy piano department, was in attendance all the
week. On one day alone he had more orders pushed
upon him than an ordinary piano factory could fill in
a month.

SELLS HALLET & DAVIS LINE,
One of the most unique piano salesrooms to be
found in Fresno, Cal., is that of C. J. La Roche, at
1744 J street, who has on display a complete line of
the Hallet & Davis pianos, including both the upright
players and grands, says the Fresno Herald. Mr.
La Roche invites his prospects to see the piano and
playerpiano as they would look in their own homes.
He stresses the argument that a playerpiano does not
sound the same in the piano wareroom as it would
in a prospect's home.
M. SCHULZ EXHIBIT.
President George J. Dowling was the host at the
eighteenth annual breakfast of The Cable Company
Wednesday morning, June 6, at 8:45, in the Grill
Room of the Drake Hotel. Mr. Dowling was grace-
fully supported by his wife, and the following mem-
bers of the "Cable family" were present:
Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Adams, Ethel Anderson, Mrs.
Charlcne Averilly.
E. E. Baker, G. B. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
The M. Schulz Co. convention exhibit was in Mez-
zanine 15, Drake Hotel, during the convention. The
room overlooks the Avenue of Palms, and the M.
Schulz Co. was fortunate in the choice of an ideal
location. A full line of pianos, grand pianos and re-
producing pianos was displayed. H. T. Hewitt and
F. P. Basset, manager, were in charge of the M.
Schulz exhibit.
