MORE PHILADELPHIA NOTES.
Eddie Boothe Visits Philadelphia.
It was a very pleasant experience for Presto-
Times' eastern correspondent to meet Eddie Boothe,
wholesale manager of Jacob Doll & Sons and the
Premier Grand Corp. and Hallet & Davis, on May 2
in Philadelphia. Mr. Boothe had come over from
New York that morning, and the man from the
metropolis was receiving close attention from some
of those representing the Doll interests in the big
Quaker City.
Fred Trefz Says Trade Is Fair.
"Trade with us has been quite fair," said Fred
Trefz to Presto-Times' correspondent on May 2, "and
it is getting- better right along." Anyway, Mr. Trefz
is speaking the truth, for the factory of Otto R.
Trefz, Jr., & Co., Inc., 1809 North 27th street, Phila-
delphia, hums with activity every working day of
the week.
Important Link in Steinway Business.
W. Ernest Voltz is a pleasing young man of ver-
satile talents whose duties imply an important ad-
junct in Steinway service in Philadelphia. One part
of his work is to keep track of all the Steinway in-
struments that are out in circuit work, and with his
entree in musically cultured circles, many sales of
the very highest grade Steinway instruments could
possibly be traced to the personality of Mr. Voltz.
RECEIVER NAMED FOR MITTEN CO.
The Mitten Piano Co., 39 E. Mill St., Akron Ohio,
was dissolved April 24 by court order and a receiver
named.
The order was issued at request of Carr A. Mitten,
owner and holder of a majority of the stock in the
company.
Mr. Mitten filed a petition charging conditions of
business were such that stockholders would lose heav-
ily if the company were not dissolved. The com-
pany was not insolvent, the petition said.
New interests are forming a new company to be
known as the C. A. Mitten Music Co.
Mr. Mitten will continue as head of the new com-
pany and the business will remain at the present lo-
cation.
