BIG IMPORTS OF LUXURIES
Reported by Government—Interesting Figures
Regarding Musical Instruments Which Are
Included in That List.
M. P. MOILER'S NEW HOTEL,
The Dagmar, Opened in Hagerstown, Md., a
Fine Hostelry—Moller Warirooms on Ground
Floor.
The new Hotel Dagmar, recently opened in 1 ta-
gerstown, Md., was erected by M. P. Moller, the

proof construction, and is one of the finest ap-
pointed hotels in that section of the State. Mr.
Moller's retail piano and organ warerooms are lo-

"COMING HOME BROKE."
Isn't it great to start off on the annual vacation
with several weeks' salary tucked securely away
and that patronizing feeling toward Rockefeller;
and isn't the home-coming tough ? Is there any
week in the year longer than that following the
return from a vacation?
The accompanying portrait is of Henry R.
Bauer, the live advertising and sales manager for
The United States Government has just issued a
report on the importation of luxuries during the
fiscal year 1910, and it is interesting to u:jte that
the total figures almost double those for 1900.
It is likewise very interesting to note that mu-
sical instruments are classed among the luxuries
despite the earnest protests of many friends to
the effect that they are to be classed as actual
necessities. In 1910 imports of musical instruments
are given as $1,300,000, as compared with $1,100,00)
in 1900. Of course the detai's regarding the im-
portations of musical instruments have bjen given
in the columns of The Review each month.
PUSHING NEW RICCA LINE.
Edward D. Ackerman, of Ricca & Son, left on
Monday of this week for an extended trip in the
interest of the "New and Better Ricca." He is
very enthusiastic over the new scale drawn by
Leopold Avisus, and is firmly convinced that the
new piano will prove to be one of the greatest
trade winners of the year, and says that it is very
properly named "A piano worth while at a popular
price."
The Ricca factory is being operated full time, Weser Bros., New York, which conies from At-
and orders are pourning in for the Styles 10 and lantic City, where he has been "vacalionizing" with
20 of the "New and Better Ricca."
his family. He says : "I had a great time while it
lasted." Mr. Bauer didn't really walk back, you
know; oh! dear, no; he bought a return ticket
at starting.
SEGERSTROM
If you are not conversant, Mr. Dealer, with the op-
portunities presented by the Segerstrom Piano, we
should like to post you at once.
It's a quality proposition for reliable and up-to-the-
minute dealers.
Segerstrom pianos are made in our own factory by
skilled workmen, and are genuine revelations in tone,
appearance, and general construction.— " A mighty
good piano at a most reasonable price."
