A NEW CHROMONICA HOLDER
FOR STRING INSTRUMENTS
Presto-Times calls the attention of the profession,
amateurs and music dealers, to the combination
Chromonica and string- instrument holder manufac-
tured by the Hallbauer Manufacturing Company,
1535 Wellston avenue, St. Louis, Mo., and known
as the "Super Chromonica Holder." The holder
is perfect for playing in combination the Chromonica
with stringed instruments and as the guitar, banjo,
ukulele and other instruments of this class. This
Hallbauer product seems to be the last word in per-
fection of a combination holder that has been ex-
perimented upon for a long time but without really
satisfactory results. The manufacturers claim that
their holder has met the severest criticism of users
everywhere and they know that they have a holder
that will give entire satisfaction.
Although there are harmonica holders on the mar-
ket, it will be found that the Hallbauer Chromonica
holder has many advantages over any other similar
attachment.
Dealers will find this a good seller and well worth
keeping in stock. The manufacturers suggest order-
ing through jobbers of general musical merchandise,
but full particulars will be given upon applying to
the Hallbauer Manufacturing Company, 15,35 Wells-
ton avenue, St. Louis, Mo.
AKRON'S LATEST MUSIC STORE
Ernest E. Smith, for peveral years representative
in Ohio for the Waltham Piano Company at the
Waltham Store, 33 South Howard street, Akron,
Ohio, has established a new music house known as
the Kenmore Music Company, located at the corner
of Boulevard and Florida avenues, Akron, Ohio, with
the Baldwin line as leaders. Mr. Smith intends
to carry on the radio business also and has at the
present time the Majestic as his leader. In a circular
recently sent out announcing his opening he says: "A
piano is worth going miles to buy. A piano in your
home changes the entire atmosphere in your home—
fill that vacant corner in your home now—the family
needs music this winter."
FITZGERALD COMPANY MOVES TO NEW
QUARTERS
The Fitzgerald Music Company of Los Angeles,
Calif., located for many years at 727 South Hill street,
has moved to 645 South Flower street, that city. The
new quarters were remodeled into a most attractive
home for the company, and consist of a two-story
building of thirty feet frontage. The firm makes use
of the entire building, which has been taken over
on a long-term lease. It will be recalled that Charles-
ton Dow some months ago succeeded James T. Fitz-
gerald as president of the company, Mr. Fitzgerald
who founded the business about forty years ago, re-
tiring to private life.
FIRST-CLASS PIANO KEY SERVICE
The attention of music dealers everywhere is called
to the advertisement of the McMackin Piano Service
Company of Des Moines, Iowa, where this concern
gives a special rate for piano key recovering, a price
as low as $5.50. The McMackin Piano Service has
been in this line for many years and is well fitted
in every way to do first-class and satisfactory work.
The McMackin company shops and studios are
equipped with a superior line of machinery and their
workmen and the proprietors are persons of ability
in all kinds of-work relating to piano key work.
