St. Paul also added another Concert Grand and a 6 ft. 3 in.
grand. The Minneapolis College of Music is now equipped
with Baldwin Grands and other Baldwin-made instruments;
eight grands of various sizes and eight uprights.
J. M. Wiley, general Baldwin representative in the district
where Minneapolis is located, made the statement some weeks
ago when in Chicago, that sales of two more Howards had
been made to the Nicollet Hotel Management since the sales
above referred to were made.
STORY AND CLARK ACTIVITIES
Of the various activities of Mr. L. P. Bull, vice-president
and General Manager of the Story & Clark Piano Co., one in
particular is worthy of attention which was the occasion of
an address before the National Association of Bedding Manu-
facturers held at the Stevens Hotel some weeks ago where he
was received by the members of that association as the "am-
bassador from the piano industry."
Later on Mr. Bull went to Florida to visit President F. F.
Story at his home at Andura Treasure Island, Osprey, Florida.
Mrs. Bull and their two sons Robert and David have been
vacationing with Mr. Story in Florida this month.
By the way, E. F. Story, treasurer of the Story & Clark
Piano Co., and E. F. Story, Jr., Factory Manager, and their
families were guests of President Story at Osprey during a
good part of January. The Messrs. Story called on Story &
Clark dealers and sent back very interesting messages on the
new Story & Clark style E Louis XV supertone spinet which
has been in the hands of some of the leading dealers in the
south since it was placed on the market the latter part of
1938.
Sales Manager Gordon Laughead has been visiting dealers
in various parts of the country since the first of the year and
has had several conferences with Mr. Elam, manager of the
piano department of Barber Brothers, Los Angeles, Calif. For
the past two weeks Mr. Laughead has been working on sales
plans with other S. & C. executives at the Chicago offices and
with Mr. Warwick Anderson of the Doe-Anderson Advertis-
ing Agency, the new Story & Clark advertising agency.
GOOD CITRUS HARVEST CREATES BUSINESS
J. P. Sappington, of Lakeland, Fla., is a very much inter,
ested Wurlitzer dealer and is building up an excellent trade
in the Wurlitzer line. Lakeland is a citrus fruit region and
as the crop was a good yield this season it helped materially
to bring a big influx of visitors to that section of the country
this winter. Mr. Sappington is a happy man these days for
his trade is going well.
A ONE-DAY RECORD
Eugene Renault, manager of the C. J. Gould Music House,
Pasadena, California, has recently sold three of his style 48
Story grands. This sale was really a one-day record. The
Gould Company have been promoting the Storygrand in a very
enthusiastic manner for several months past and the result
of this activity is manifesting itself in a substantial manner.
GOOD LUCK K-W-N-O!
Hardt's Music House at Winona, Minn., carries an attrac-
tive display advertisement announcing that the new broad-
casting station there, K-W-N-O, has selected a Chickering
Drawing Room Grand piano for its use, to which announce-
ment Mr. Hardt adds, at the foot of the display type, this
salutation; "Congratulations K-W-N-O. We join heartily in
welcoming Winona's new station and in wishing you much
success."
