Not only is there a great spurt noticeable in
the selling of pianos here, but it is also noted
among the dealers in small goods. Robert C.
Kretschmar, the importer is having a very good
April trade, and is shipping large orders all over
the State. H. A. Weymann & Sons are also do-
ing well, and their factory is being worked full
time. The Bauer Co. have found unusually ex-
cellent export trade during the month, and large
quantities of the Stewart instruments have been
shipped to London, and to various other foreign
ports. Shipments have been unusually heavy to
the coast, and the business of the firm is booming
along in every section, besides more than holding
its own in the local trade.
AN INDIANA STAMP RUSH.
Crowd Loots a Store That Was About to Close
Its Doors and Smash Musical Instruments.
Hearing that a trading stamp company was
moving its stock away from Lafayette, Ind., an
excited crowd of more than 10 men, women and
children attacked the company's store in Main
street, Wednesday, and for a time there was as
much excitement as a run on a bank would have
caused.
Holders of the stamps crowded into the store
and took whatever they could lay hands on.
Vases, lamps and articles of furniture were
broken before the crush was ended, and within
half an hour the well-stocked establishment had
been stripped of the household furnishings, musi-
cal instruments, and other articles that had been
kept for the redemption of trading stamps.

Lyon & Healy Harp and Washburn Mandolins
Used in An Interesting Programme.
There was a large attendance at the concert
given by Valentine Abt, last Wednesday evening,
at Mendelssohn Hall. He demonstrated afresh
his skill as a mandolin virtuoso, achieving won-
derful tone results in the playing of several diffi-
cult numbers. Devoid of mannerisms, he re-
vealed in a most emphatic way the possibilities
of this instrument in a manner to arouse the
greatest enthusiasm. His versatility was also
shown by several selections on the harp. He
was assisted by Emma Elizabeth Elmer, contral-
to, and Minnie Sheldon Pearce, pianist, who, in
addition to several solo numbers, accompanied
Mr. Abt very effectively. The Lyon & Healy
harp and Washburn mandolin were used by Mr.
Abt, and in tone quality and volume were ade-
quate to all demands made on them.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
