NEW ORLEANS SUMMER PUBLICITY.
Mathematical Puzzle Advertised by Philip
Werlein, Ltd.,—Gruntwald Clearing Out Sale
—Trade Conditions Discussed.
(Special to The Review.)
New Orleans, La., August 6, 1910.
Philip Werlein, Ltd., of this city, are now run-
ning a midsummer puzzle contest advertisement in
many of the local papers, in which prizes are of-
fered, consisting of a Chilton Pianola piano, a
Werlein piano, a Regina music box, a violin, ladies'
and gentlemen's watches and other prizes, which
will be given to the person who elucidates the
puzzle, which calls for the arrangement of figures
so that up and down and crosswise they will total
ninety.
The advertisement appears in all of the papers
excepting the Times-Democrat and The Ttem, an
afternoon paper with a Sunday edition.
The Grunewalds are advertising a e'earing-out
sale of bargains.
Local trade generally is quiet and the uncer-
tainty of crop conditions has caused much uneasi-
ness regarding the business for the fall. Dealers,
SOME PIANO SELLINfi.
however, are optimistic and are hopeful that by
the time the fall crop returns are all in the out-
Unique Quadruple Stunt Pulled Off by J. B.
look will have greatly improved.
Moran Doesn't Happen Every Day.
J. H. Moran, sales manager of the Conroy
Piano Co., St. Louis, Mo., made quite a record
recently in the sales line when the representatives
of four families from a neighboring town visited
the warerooms in a body. Though they had not
decided just where they would buy the pianos, Mr.
Moran got on tin- job and succeeded in selling
THE WISE FLOAT GREATLY ADMIRED.
From the Wise Piano House, of Boise, Idaho,
we are in receipt of a photograph of the handsome
float which they had in the Fourth of July parade
in that city.
One of the features of the float was a large owl.
Tlv's, of course, was a human bird—a man being
r
inside the owl—and, as a consequence, the bird
nodded and greeted acquaintances and friends as
the float passed along the principal streets. When
the crowd would cheer the owl would flap its wings
and spread itself in great shape.
It is hardly necessary to say that the owl was
the wise old owl from the Wise Piano House.
This feature as well as the exhibits generally
made on the float attracted universal admiration
and made a great hit. The border around the
Wise sign on the float was made up of Wise Piano
House catalogs. In fact, the entire exhibit was
quite original and distinctly clever.
For a week or more following the Fourth the
owl was exhibited in the window of the Wise
Piano House and constituted very excellent pub-
licity.
NORRIS NOISELESS AXIOMS.

Some wise man has said, "Search all things
and hold fast to that which is true," and this is the
advice which we would give to manufacturers and
dealers in regard to pedal actions. It is only neces-
sary to contrast the old crude, noisy, nerve-racking
pedal mechanism with the improved noiseless ac-
tion made by the Norris Noiseless Pedal Action
Co., of Boston, Mass., to comprehend which is su-
perior and having comprehended the truth, it pays
to "hold fast." Xorris specialties add prestige to
the pianos in which they are used. They stand for
quality and progress.
