HUNTING DEER IN
5;
THE ADIRONDACKS
Piano Men Enjoy Camp in the Mountains and
Are Fortunate Enough to Bag Two
Hundred Pound Buck.
•-I Oscar Stranburg, of Stranburg's, Inc., piano and
music merchants, of Jamestown, N. Y., and his son,
Clifford Stranburg, were guests of Wm. N. Longacre,
.eastern traveling representative of the Lester Piano
tiful specimen of deer, with eight beautiful points,
and Mr. Stranburg can feel very proud of his kill.
Each member of the party was fortunate in secur-
ing a buck during the week's hunt, but due to warm
weather could not keep the kill in camp, and were
forced to take them to Dolgeville, N. Y., to be put
in cold storage until camp was broken, when each
member departed happily with his kill.
Mr. Stranburg is very well known in the trade, and
conducts a chain of retail piano stores throughout
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and is a very
enthusiastic "Lester" dealer.
Mr. Kempf operates a piano and general music
store in Little Falls, N. Y., and is also well known
among the music trade. Mr. Kempf has handled the
"Lester" line very successfully, as did his father be-
fore him, and is very enthsiastic with the line. He
was also a very generous and hospitable host.
Mr. Longacre is the New York and New England
representative of the Lester line, and has grown up
with the Lester house, since he was a boy.
The week was very happily spent by every member
of the party and all feel capable of pushing the Les-
ter line just a bit harder for the week's recreation.

W. O. Gross, Who Had Mayoralty Nomination
Thrust Upon Him at Democratic Primaries, Wins.
W. O. Gross, who displays his energy in Eaton, O.,
by adding to the number of owners of pianos and
players of the Straube Piano Co., Hammond. Ind.,
innocently invited political attention by closely at-
tending to his own business. The voters of Eaton,
while differing in party, were unanimous in wanting
a sensible business man for mayor.
So W. O. Gross, though not a candidate, had the
nomination on the Democratic ticket for mayor of
Eaton thrust upon him at the primaries. The people
wrote his name on the ballots and he was elected by
a majority well over two-thirds of the total vote.
Mr. Gross has a beautiful music store and has built
up a wonderful following, personally, commercially
and also politically, it seems.
BRADBURY SMALL GRAND
FAVORED BY DEALERS
T. Linton Floyd-Jones, President of W. P.
Haines & Co., Finds Evidences of Pleas-
ant Fact in Middle West.
That the Bradbury small grand piano, the five foot,
four inch model, is one of the warmest favorites in
the many orders to W. P. Haines & Co., New York,
is a fact reported this week. Charles T. Carter, vice-
president and treasurer of the company, found evi-
dences of the dealers' favor for the little instrument
in his recent successful trip through eastern states.
T. L. Floyd-Jones is having a similar experience
among the trade of the Middle West, where he is
now making an annual visit to dealers.
The cheerful anticipations of the dealers are pleas-
antly shown in the size of orders and the high grade
character of the instruments ordered. The small
grand named is particularly favored and the pref-
erences for the Bradbury five foot, four inch grand
is very flattering to Mr. Floyd-Jones. Many of the
orders for the little piano stipulate equipment with
the Welte-Mignon (Licensee) reproducing action.
The Bradbury product, now controlled by W. P.
Haines & Co., is made in the factories at Leominster,
Mass.
