to secure special rates on music cabinets.
AGGRESSIVE ANDPROGRESSIVE.
In the small goods trade probably one of the
best known figures is that of Samuel Buegeleisen,
proprietor of Buegeleisen & Jacobson, 113-115
University Place, New York, whose picture ap-
pears on the front cover of The Review. Mr.
Buegeleisen's aggressive and progressive meth-
ods are familiar to those with whom the firm
have dealings, and he prides himself upon carry-
ing on his business along broad lines only.
In an informal chat with The Review this
week Mr. Buegeleisen said that he kept himself
in close touch with the trade by calling upon
them regularly, so as to ascertain the kinds of
goods that are most desired and salable in differ-
ent parts of the country. This he considered one
of the chief reasons for the success of the busi-
ness. He ascertains what the dealers want, and
therefore is in a better position to select precisely
the goods which move quickly and are the most
profitable to handle. This information he also
finds serviceable on his European buying trips.
As a wide-awake proposition Mr. Buegeleisen's
position in the small goods trade is fully recog-
nized and his energy and industry is unbounded.
As an example it may be said that if he heard
of any new lines anywhere—in China, Japan,
Australia, etc.—he would get them at once if he
thought they would benefit the trade. Mr. Bueg-
eleisen's long experience in the violin world has
given him, it is said, a unique standing among
leading importers of these instruments, as well
as with dealers and musicians. Of his various
activities in this line little need be added, as
they are already well known to the trade, for, as a
matter of fact, he is familiar with every branch
of the musical merchandise industry.

Following his usual custom, Chas. H. Ditson,
of Chas. H. Ditson & Co., New York, is visiting
the Hot Springs of Virginia, with Mrs. Ditson,
for six weeks. He will return again about May 1.
C. A. Woodman, in charge of the special pub-
licity department of the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston,
Mass., was in New York early in the week.
It is the opinion of Edward S. Cnigin, manag-
ing director of Chas. Ditson & Co., that with the
advent of Easter a marked revival in the busi-
ness of their musical and instrument depart-
ments would ensue.

shortly be sold at auction in London, Eng., with
