THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
FRANCIS CONNOR is one of those quiet
progressive types of the American busi-
ness man, who is always moving steadily
ahead, but never spends any time in shouting
over it. Mr. Connor is steadily building up a
far reaching trade.
A. DECKER, of Decker & Son, ac-
companied by his wife, will spend a while
at Chicago, taking in the beauties of the beautiful
white city by the lake. Mr. Decker has applied
himself closely to business during the past year,
and his little vacation will do him good.
