ONE OF THE SIDE SHOWS
Leedy Manufacturing Co., of Indianapolis, Invites
Dealers to Stop and Chat and Look.

Manufacturing Co., of Indianapolis, Ind.:
We know you'll want to see everything in the
"Big Show" at the Drake Hotel in Chicago during
the week of June 8th, so don't fail to stop in at the
"Leedy Tent" and have a chat.
There are some real new and good numbers for
your Drum Department that will give you the chance
to pick up many additional dollars this summer and
fall.
Kvery drummer in the country is now talking
about the new Leedy "Professional" (floating head)
Snare Drum.
Come around to Room 338 and have a chat with
our Mr. A. W. Kuerst and Mr. Charles Seibert. Ours

NEW FACTORY PIANO TRUCKS
Self-Lifting Piano Truck Company of Findlay, Ohio,
to Have Larger Building.
Increased business has resulted in the formation of
plans for erection of new building on North Main
street, Findlay, Ohio, as the home of the Self-Lifting
l'iano Truck Company. Frank D. Lea, manager of
the industry, had part of the former home of the
plant razed and construction work will start at once.
Greatly increased floor space will be available. The
office of the company will be in the front part, while
the machine shop will occupy the rear portion. A
building in the rear which is how the home of the
plant during the erection of the new building will
be used for a wareroom and a shipping department.
The two-story frame building which the company
had occupied since 1903 was wholly inadequate for
the expanding business, according to Mr. Lea. The
company moved to Findlay from Lima in 191)3, hav-
ing been organized two years previously.
New equipment and additional machinery will be
installed in the factory and the steadily increasing
demand for Self-Lifting piano trucks will have more
prompt attention than ever before.
NEW DRUM PEDAL.
A patent for a drum pedal has been invented by
Chester E. Heyn, Omaha, and the pedal placed on
the market is considered a winner by its promoters.
The Heyn Drum Pedal Co., consisting of C. E.
Heyn, president and general manager, and E. T.
Gordon, secretary and treasurer, has offices in the
Karbach Block. The pedal is built of bronze and
aluminum and no expense has been spared in the
material or construction.
CAPITOL CABINETS.
The agency for tl-c Capital roll cabinets made by
the Capital Furniture Co., Noblesville, Ind., has been
taken over by Lyon & Healy, Chicago. The- terri-
tory assigned includes the states of Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan and every state west of the Missis-
sippi. There are twenty-six models in the roll cabinet
line which has been well known to the trade for a
