Says Qeo. n. Woodford, the Weber Ambas-
sador—Found Trade Conditions Satisfactory
—Dealers Interested in N. P. n. Convention.
Gco. M. Woodford, Weber ambassador,
reached town on Saturday after a seven-
weeks' absence on a "swing around the cir-
cle." As usual, he met with a good recep-
tion all along the line, and found the Weber
agents prosperous, alert and enthusiastic.
Five new agencies were established during
the trip.
Chatting with The Review on Wednesday-
concerning his most recent experiences and
observations, Mr. Woodford said: "I found
trade conditions satisfactory everywhere.
Commerce in all lines appeared to be in a
thriving condition wherever I went. In the
piano trade, I found live agents, prosperous
and hopeful of still better times. The Weber
agents sell our products easily, their patrons
preferring quality, and not hesitating to pay
a reasonable price to secure it.
"There is an increasing demand for Weber
small grands, and the opinion prevails
among dealers that this will continue. Oddly
enough, the call for Weber grands has not
made any perceptible difference in the out-
put of the more expensive designs in Weber
uprights. This would seem to be evidence
of an increased percentage of piano pur-
chasers. In its turn, such an increase indi-
cates a gratifying growth of taste for music
and musical instruments among well-to-do
people, the result, doubtless, of a more wide-
spread system of musical education."
Mr. Woodford said that piano dealers
through the country are much interested in
the proposed conference of piano manufac-
turers and dealers at the next N. P. M. A.
convention. Many of them signified their
intention of being present, if business en-
gagements permitted. The Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo, beginning next month,
has also stirred up great interest. Quite a
number of the dealers have planned to take
in both events when visiting this section.
Reappraisements Filed.
