beg to announce to our friends that the death of
David Jacobson will have no effect on the policy
of our business, and that we will conduct our
affairs along the same lines as in the past, al-
ways endeavoring to give satisfaction. Thank-
ing you in advance for a continuance of past
favors, and assuring you that our constant ef-
forts will always be to serve our patrons to their
complete satisfaction, we remain," etc.

itor. We filed an answer to the complaint deny-

and demanding a trial by jury. We maintained
that the complaint was founded entirely on
allegations and that no act of insolvency had or
could be established. As a matter of fact, we
have gone more closely into the business and
are satisfied Mr. Polimann's assets figure up a
surplus of $25,000 to $30,000 over all his liabil-

against me. All those who know the truth, and even
my competitors in business, have honorably agreed to
support me, and have refused to join in any attempt to
injure my business standing. I ask for your continued
confidence and assure you that there is no occasion for
any alarm. Should your co-operation against me be
sought, I shall appreciate your communicating with me
at once.
Yours very truly,

E. A. HAWTHORNE BOUND WEST.
Monday E. A. Hawthorne, of the American
Record Co., 241-243 West 23d street, New York,
started on a two weeks' trip west. He will call
upon the trade in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis,
Kansas City and Cincinnati. This week a fresh
batch of foreign records, number 331 selections,
came in by the steamship Baltic, and the work
of completing this catalogue—a tremendous task
—is being pushed with energy. The factory is
working a night shift to keep up with the or-
ders, and from now until after the holidays the
company is practically sold up. Their Decem-
ber bulletin, out last week, reflects credit on the
judgment of J. O. Prescott, the manager, whose
indefatigable industry has done so much to bring
his concern's goods to the front.
Joseph Morris, of Joseph Morris (Inc.), the
Philadelphia jobbers, was in New York, Tuesday.
He was a visitor at several leading small goods
houses, leaving some good orders for his holiday
trade, which he anticipated would be unprece-
dentedly heavy.
The Pommer-Davis Piano Co., of San Jose, Cal,
are now representing the Krell-French line of
pianos.
