Piano Designed to Harmonize with Surround-
ings in Fine Milwaukee Residence of
Moorish Architecture.
A krakauer Reproducing Grand of special design
for a Milwaukee customer is in course of construc-
tion at the factory of Krakauer Bros., Cypress avenue,
East 136th and 137th streets, New York. The order
was taken by J. J. Hcaly, manager of the p'ano de-
partment of the Boston Store, which ably features the
Krakauer line in the Wisconsin city. The piano is for
Carl Herzfe'd, vice-president of the Boston Store,
to be installed in his new home at Whitefish Bay, a
picturesque residence section of Milwaukee.
The Krakauer grand will be placed in the living
room of Mr. Herzfeld's residence which is of Moor-
ish architecture and considered by architects to be
a splendid model of the type. Moorish features are
observed in the interior arrangements as well as on
the outside.
The Krakauer grand will be made to harmonize
as far as possible with the other furnishings and the
completion of the piano will provide one more spe-
cial instrument of the artistic order to add to the
lengthy l ; st of Krakauer specially-designed pianos al-
ready in existence. Krakauer Bros.' ambition is to
give evidence of its adherence to high ideals. An
order for a specially designed piano is a welcome op-
portunity for artistic endeavor in the factory. The
piano for the handsome Milwaukee residence will be
forthcoming in its special case and the deep, rich,
sympathetic tone which above all things distinguishes
the Krakauer Grands.
ACCIDENT TO ELOQUENT
TOLEDO, OHIO, ATTORNEY
Frank Mulholland, Who Has Many Friends in the
Trade, Fractured Arm Cranking Car.
Many in the trade will recall Frank Mulholland,
the attorney-at-law, of Toledo, Ohio, who entertained
the music merchants with a witty speech at one of
their annual banquets a few r years ago. And all who
know the eloquent lawyer will be sorry to learn that
Mr. Mulholland had the misfortune to break his arm
recently when attempting to crank his son's automo-
bile.
Mr. Mulholland says he is aware of the fact that
the self-starter on every car should be always in
working order, but he knows, too, that batteries do
run down and out sometimes. Attorney Mulholland's
son, by the way, is the new membership secretary of
the Toledo Chamber of Commerce.
TWELVE BALDWIN GRANDS
IN DAYTON, OHIO, RECITAL
Twelve Concert Grand Pianos Also Supplied for
Rehearsal Use by Archie L. Hamilton, Dayton.
On Friday, October 16, twelve of the leading pi-
anists of Miami Yallev. Ohio, gave a twelve p'ano en-
semble recital under the baton of Rudolph Ganz,
world famous pianist, and the director of the St.
Louis Symphony Orchestra, at Memorial Hall.
The twelve Concert Grand pianos used on the oc-
casion were furnished exclusively by the Baldwin
Piano Company. In its music section the Sunday

Dayton Journal showed a cut of the rehearsals in
the home of Mrs. E. A. Deeds, pianos for the rehear-
sals also were from the Baldwin factories and fur-
ir'shed by Archie L. Hamilton, exclusive Baldwin
dealer in Dayton, Ohio.
It is worth considering the resources of a house
which is able to furnish twelve concert grand pianos
for a single recital without interfering in any way
w'th the furnishing of Baldwin concert grands for
the many famous artists who are appearing in recital
all over the United States at the present time.
DUO=ART PIANO BOUGHT
FOR MOTOR YACHT "WARRIOR"
Harrison Williams, Owner, Completes Equipment by
Installing Famous Reproducing Piano.
The magnificent motor yacht "Warrior," the largest
yacht equipped with Diesel engines, owned by Har-
rison Williams of New York, has just been supplied
with a Duo-Art Reproducing Piano.
"Warrior" was built in Germany at the great ship
building yards at Stettin, and is now fitting out at
Tebos Basin, South Brooklyn, for a Mediterranean
cruise to begin Oct. 6.
Duo-Art pianos are aboard the finest battleships
and cruisers of the navies of the world, aboard the
fastest and finest passenger liners of the world travel
routes, and aboard the leading yachts in the sport.
It is fitting that "Warrior," the biggest yacht with
Diesel power is equipped with the Duo-Art, which is
supreme at sea—which is difficult service with alter-
nate changes of climate and weather.
A CHEERFUL ANNOUNCEMENT.
Manager Francis of the Francis Piano Company, in
the Weinberg Arcade, Galesburg, 111., says that in
his forty years of merchandising of fine pianos he has
never seen the outlook for fall trade as good as it is
now. As evidence of this belief he quotes the follow-
ing sales this week: "A fine Packard to Mr. Roberts,
superintendent of schools at Alpha; a used Kimball
to a prominent engineer on the Q.; a player piano
to Onie Chance at Abingdon and many more in
sight."
AN EXTENDED SALE.
Barker Bros., Los Angeles, have inaugurated a
removal sale which will be continued until the com-
pany moves to its new building ab.out January 1. The
new Barker Bros, building is one of the notable
structures now going up in that city. It extends a
full block and an entire floor will be given over to
the music section. J. C. Boothe, manager of the
music department, hopes to open in the new build-
ing with a complete new stock of goods.
PRESTO BUYERS'
GUIDE NOTICE
The 1925 Edition of Presto Buyers' Guide,
the "Book That Sells Pianos," is already en-
tirely exhausted. It is the second time in
the twenty-nine years since the book first ap-
peared that the demand has been such as to
render this announcement necessary. Copies
of the preceding editions may still be had,
and the issue of 1924 is so nearly up-to-date
as to be almost equally useful in the hands of
salesmen. The "Premium Edition" also is
good for selling purposes, and it may be had
for 25 cents a copy—one-half the regular
price.
The entirely new Presto Buyers' Guide for
1926 is in preparation and will be ready in
October. Advance orders, especially for quan-
tities, should be placed early. Subscribers to
Presto, the American Music Trade Weekly,
between now and October 1st, will receive a
copy of the new Presto Buyers' Guide for
1926 without charge as soon as it appears.
