F. P. BASSETT'S VACATION TRIP.
Fred P. Bassett, secretary and treasurer of the
M. Schulz Company, 711 Milwaukee avenue, Chi-
cago, made the "circle trip" this week around Lake
Michigan by automobile, accompanied by his son,
Robert, who is in his early "teens," and naturally
keen on outings. Friends of Mr. Bassett have noticed
this admirable trait in his character, namely, his dis-
position to pal with his children. His own boyish
exuberance finds an outlet in sight-seeing, and the
drive clear around one of the three largest lakes in
the world taken at this time of year unrolled a pan-
orama of diversity of delights that will bring many
pleasant memories when he is again cooped up in
the office.
THE KIMBALL JUNIOR UPRIGHT.
The W. W. Kimball Co., 309 South Wabash avenue,
Chicago, in its advertising in the dailies says: "The
beginning of school calls for ambitious plans in which
music should have its share. Have you thought how
important the piano is today in any form of music

study, whether of voice or instrument? The vocalist,
the violinist, the organist all recognize the necessity
of piano study. Why not bring the youngsters with
you and let them hear the Kimball? Let them sec
the beautiful little 'Junior' Upright, built especially
for the little folks but with a full scale, even through-
out, and powerful, rich tone. See the larger sizes
also, which are always in demand."

be in attendance at the Ohio Music Merchants' Con-
vention in Toledo next week, but his company will
be represented there by A. H. Grimm, general trav-
eler, who will be glad to explain anything about

CHICAGO CIVIC OPERA CO.
Quite the most brilliant season of grand opera
Chicago ever has known is forecast by Herbert M.
Johnson, the manager of the Chicago Civic Opera
Co., who has just returned from a three-months' tour
in Europe. Several new artists of international repu-
tation have been engaged, and the repertoire for the
coming season, which probably will be the last in
the historic Auditorium, will include a number of
interesting revivals. No less than seven ney sopranos
have been engaged, of whom five are Americans.
There will be two new contraltos, one new baritone
(an American), and two new tenors.
Piano dealer O. H. Boyd and wife of Marion, Ohio,
are on a vacation at Colorado Springs, Colo. Mr.
Boyd will be missed at the Toledo convention next
week.

FAIRBANKS PLATES.
In the American piano industry the piano plates
made by the Fairbanks Company, Springfield, Ohio,
are considered a potent means towards attaining the
character of sturdiness and durability for pianos. It
is a selection prompted by distinctive qualities in the
Fairbanks plates which manufacturers believe to be
essential to the production of high-class pianos. Fair-
banks piano plates are particularly desirable because
they conform to the requirements of the exacting
piano manufacturer and are made from the finest
materials by the most skillful workmen. It is ad-
mitted by dealers, piano makers and piano owners of
a discriminating kind that a Fairbanks plate in a
piano is a prime factor in dependable construction.
