for erecting a memorial to Mr. MacDowell is con-

movements it is thought best to terminate its
work at this time.

TRADE NOTES FROM MEXICO CITY.
F. S. Shaw a Visitor—Delfraisse Expected—
Checkering Representative Visiting Quadala-
jara—Where American Piano Would Benefit.
(Special to The Review.)
Mexico City, Mex., March 21, 1908.
F. S. Shaw, president of the Cable Company,
Chicago, has been in the city for the past week
and made his headquarters at the American
Piano Co., with whom he is arranging for a
more general representation of his wares
throughout the Republic. He was at various
times the guest of Mr. Diets and Dr. Harrison,
the dominating factors of the American Piano
Co.
E. J. Delfraissee, representing the Melville
Clark Piano Co. and the Apollo player, who
sailed from New Orleans for Vera Cruz, reached
the capital yesterday. He is the guest of Jos.
W. Stern & Co.'s representative in Mexico, and
can be reached care of this firm's office, Calle
de Ortega, No. 29.
Arrangements are pending whereby a general
agency is to be established for the big 88-note
Apollo player, as well as the Melville Clark
pianos.
Enrico Munguia, the Chickering representa-
tive here, left the city to look after his interests
in Guadalajara, where he has a branch estab-
lishment. His last Apollo player will be shipped
from Guadalajara to the Mexican capital for a
client who wants no other than the "Apollo."
The piano store of Otto y Arzoz, on Calle de
Cinco de Mayo, show numerous pianos of Ger-
man make. A good American piano would en-
hance their display, as well as their prestige.
GET OUT OF THE BEATEN TRACK.
Move to Success by New Roads—Watch New
Ideas—May Pay to "Follow Master."
When one of your competitors startles your
section with a new idea, it is his only for a little
time. Soon everybody adopts it, if it's worth
while.
We all play "follow master," and it's not given
to one set of brains to evolve all the improve-
ments that go on daily to better the world gen-
erally, and business incidentally.
Get out of your beaten path.
Move into a new circle by travel—preferably
to larger centers, but certainly to others.
The city man can learn from his country
brother, who can also go to school to him.
Periodical trips for new ideas are as impera-
tive to successful retailing as is travel for the
purpose of securing merchandise.
For the small town merchant a subscription to
his trade paper and to some of the metropolitan
daily papers affords valuable advertising infor-
mation, and sometimes good business hints.
That's a species of travel by reading, and this,
of course, is invariably and continuously bene-
ficial.
Victor-Victrola XVI $200
Cabinet, San Domingo mahogany, art
piano finish. Metal parts gold plated.
Small doors to regulate tone volume.
Albums for 150 records; drawer for
accessories.
Every piano dealer ought to display
these two fine instruments side by side
with the best pianos in his establishment.
The Victor-Victrola is a standard musical instrument.
It presents all the Victor repertoire of high-class music
in an attractive setting. It is elegant and artistic in ap-
pearance. Its materials and construction are the finest.
It appeals to the best class of people. Many people
who would not buy a regular Victor are ready customers
for the Victor-Victrola.
The profit is liberal; and buyers become regular
customers for Victor Red Seal records—a profitable busi-
ness in itself.
Many piano dealers have added the Victor-Victrola
to their stock, and are making money with it. Why not
you? Write for particulars.

To get best results, use only Victor Needles
on Victor Records.
