Everything is moving serenely at the
factory of the Newman Bros. Co. where
they have a large force of men at work.
They speak enthusiastically about the loy-
alty of their dealers not one of whom de-
serted them during the extended labor
trouble. Their aim just now is to recip-
rocate in every way possible by producing
instruments that will be a credit to them-
selves and bring trade and honor to their
representatives.
Peter Duffy, of the Schubert Co., has
been spending some days in this city this
week on a business trip. He is quite opti-
mistic about trade and reports getting his
share of it.
F. S. Cable left the city the early days
of the week for St. Paul and Minneapolis.
I understand that new arrangements will
be effected whereby the C. C. O. C. head-
quarters will be in future centered in Min-
neapolis instead of St. Paul.
