wax. NAME commanding" respect and recogni-
- ^ turn in musical and trade circles on two-
continents is that of the popular Jack
Haynes. of this city. Wherever a music trade
journal can penetrate, mention of that cogno-
men will bring a flash light of recognition and
interest into the face of the reader, for it seems
but a few years ago since Jack Haynes was
known as an energetic and conquering road
man. But he was planning a higher flight, for
his keen intuition and strong perceptive facul-
ties forced him to branch out into a broader
field—into larger possibilities unseen by others.
Jack Haynes occupies a position that is at
once unique and singular, a position peculiarly
adapted to his characteristics and capacity.
Possessed of a strong individuality, he has
virtually been the creator of a new economic
condition in the marketing of pianos and organs.
Free from the responsibility and care which
are largely the manufacturers portion, he has
worked on business methods entirely his own,
and he has achieved a success that is certainly
remarkable.
If we were to ask the members of the success-
ful firm of James M. Starr, and the Newman
Bros. Co., what value they place on the
methods of this go-ahead and aggressive per-
sonality, we venture to say that the reply
would be so effusively complimentary that it
would make that popular personage decidedly
uncomfortable. The same may be said of the
Muehfeld piano which he has recently added
to his list.
On the other hand Jack Haynes is not slow to
admit that much of his success is attributable
to the sterling value and musical worth of the
two leading instruments he handles—the Starr
piano and the Newman organ. Figures are
indisputable, and the facts are that the output
of both these factories has materially increased
since Jack Haynes' connection with them—he
lias been enabled to enlarge the sphere of popu-
larity and esteem in which these instruments are
held!
In this connection Jack Haynes need fear no
rivalry, for he is master of a situation which
could not exist if Jack Haynes were not part of
it.
We generally judge men by their works. If
we estimate Jack Haynes from the standpoint
of a great factor in the distribution of the pro-
ducts of the houses he so efficiently represents
—by methods that are peculiarly suggestive of
an individuality truly original; or if we view
him in a social way as '' my good host," full of
that tact and savoir faire, full of that perfect
repose and ease which becomes the gentleman,
