RECEIVER FOR LYRADION
FOLLOWS COMPLAINT
Employe Forces the Radio Concern into Involuntary
Bankruptcy.
The Lyradion Manufacturing Company, of Misha-
waka, Indiana, which makes and sells phonographs
and radio receiving sets, was placed in the hands of
a receiver—the Citizens Trust and Savings Bank—
on Monday.
The appointment followed the filing of a complaint
against the company and against Melville M. Mix, its
president, by Bagster Roads Seabrook, who demands
$20,000 for alleged failure to perform certain con-
tracts entered into with him.
Mr. Mix, who is a former mayor of Mishawaka
and was at one time president of the Dodge Manu-
facturing Company there, is alleged to have trans-
ferred his $80,000 home to a corporation for the pur-
pose of defeating the claims of creditors.
The complaint charges that the company, besides
owing Mr. Seabrook $7,500 back salary, is indebted to
other persons and firms to the extent of $140,000.

BUSY IN MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
Business is reported lively in the music department
of the Barnhart Book & Piano Store, Huntington,
Ind., which was installed last month in a store on
Jefferson street, with W. H. Barnhart in charge. The
Barnhart store, on Market street, has been in opera-
tion for more than seventeen years and has outgrown
its present location. It is still maintained for the
book business, with Allen Barnhart managing it, and
will be run independently of the new store, which will
handle music goods exclusively.
FEATURING GRANDS IN WINDOWS.
Examples of the effectiveness of simplicity of dis-
play in showing grand pianos in the windows is fre-
quently given in the Twelfth street window of Rams-
dell & Son, Philadelphia. In one last week the ex-
clusive points of superiority of a grand piano display
were emphasized by thin streamers of many-colored
ribbons running from the various parts to a descrip-
tive placard. The background was a harmonizing
color scheme.
EIGHT MAKES IN GRAND SALON.
Eight standard makes of grand pianos are carried
by the Yahrling-Raynor Music Co., Youngstown, O.,
and they are shown in what are said to be among the
most attractive grand piano salons in eastern Ohio.
These were formally opened in full in the building
occupied by the company.
The G. F. Johnson Piano Co., Portland, Ore., took
advantage recently of the appearance of Germain
Schnitzer, pianist, whom the house presented at a
concert at the Municipal Auditorium February 29.
