GENERAL PIANO KEY
REPAIRING
The Clark Orchestra Roll Co., DeKalb, 111., regretted
to lose the services of Harry Hamilton, an expert in
the music roll business, when he felt that he must
resign to accept the nomination, which resulted in his
election, as, city clerk of DeKalb. Mr. Hamilton, who
was nominated at the primaries and elected without
opposition at the April election, recently assumed his
new duties at the City Hall—another honor for a
good and able member of the music industries. The
DeKalb City Hall, being almost directly across the
street from the Clark Orchestra Roll Co. offices, is
so conveniently situated that Mr. Hamilton will be
able to run across once in a while for a brief chat
with his good friends at the Clark studios.
