VISIT HINNERS ORGAN PLANT
New Department Where Pipes Are Manufactured
Visited by Group of Peoria Men.
The Rotary Club of Peoria, 111., last week drove to
Hinners Organ Co. plant, where they were taken
through on a brief inspection, Arthur Hinners acting
as guide. The trip wound up at the great organ
which will be shipped soon to Lorain, Ohio. It is a
large instrument, with harp and chime attachments,
and was demonstrated by Professor Rolf, who
brought out the possibilities of the great instrument.
The Hinners Organ Company recently started the
manufacture of their own metal pipes, and now every
detail of the instruments they turn out are made in
the plant in Peoria.
SEARS-ROEBUCK R E T A I L STORES.
Musical merchandise, including band and stringed
instruments, will be carried in the two new retail
stores soon to be opened in Chicago by Sears-Roe-
buck & Co., which now operates a retail section in
the main building of the big mail order house at
Homan avenue and Arthington street. The new
retail locations are at Lawrence and Lincoln avenues
on the North Side and Kenwood avenue and Sev-
enty-ninth street on the South Side. No pianos will
be shown in the new retail branches.
A new type of dry kiln truck has been put on
the market by the Grand Rapids Vapor Company,
Grand Rapids, Mich.
FAIRBANKS
VICTROLA WAR IN ST. LOUIS
Some Department Managers Consider Condition
Most Effective Means for Clearing Out Stqpk.
Victrola profits is on in St. Louis and all depart-
ment stores are offering Victrolas at SO per cent dis-
count following a further cut made there by a music
house after the Victor Talking Machine Co. had
ordered a 30 per cent slash on all instruments listed
to sell at $110 and over.
While the department stores carried advertisements
in papers announcing the 30 per cent reduction, the
Wurlitzer Music Co., on the same day, quoted Vic-
trola prices at 33^j off. As a consequence, a depart-
ment store further lowered the discount to make it
50 per cent and all other stores quickly followed suit.
Some concerns are not only slashing prices on the
higher priced instruments, but on the cheaper styles
as well.
Some merchandise managers state that the move is
as effective a way as any to clear out stock which
will soon be obsolete, feeling the 10 per cent loss they
stand will be readily recouped when new instruments
are offered for disposal.
MOVES I N KANSAS CITY.
Charles A. Renie, the Kansas City small goods
dealer, is now located with the W. W. Kimball Co.,
1009-1011 Grand avenue, to which place he moved
last week from the Smith, Barnes & Strohber Co.'s
store where he has been located for several years.
The new quarters of the energetic Kansas City musi-
cal merchandise dealer are roomy and a display
window adds to his ability to impress prospects with
the desirability of his line.
W I N D O W S SELL PORTABLES.
Window displays of portable talking machines made
since the opening of the vacation season in that re-
gion by Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, have
wonderfully augmented sales of the goods. The dis-
plays were designed by Jesse G. M. Glick and had
the dramatic character which created the desire for
the convenient little machine to add to the joys of
the out-of-doors.
