CAPTURE MANYJ5TERLING ORDERS.
W. B. Williams' Visit to the West and North-
west Prolific of Results.
(Special to The Review.)
Detroit, Mich., Oct. 8, 1911.
W. B. Williams, of the Sterling Co., of Derby,
Conn., reached Grinnell Brothers just in time to
get a big order for immediate shipment. The call
for Sterlings has been lively of late, and stock
was running low. Mr. Williams had been around
through the West quite a bit. He was particu-
larly pleased with his success in the Northwest,
the people up around the source of the Mississippi
having a marked liking for the Sterling.
PRAISE "LITTLE BEAUTY" GRAND.
William Tonk & Bro., 452-456 Tenth avenue,
recently added several new styles to their line and
among the number a small grand which has al-
ready proven exceedingly popular. This is further
borne out by the following strong testimonial from
one of their dealers in New York State: "The
'Little Beauty' grand bought from you to replace
the Tonk player-piano destroyed by fire at Hedge-
mead last year, has given perfect satisfaction and
gone far to recompense us for the loss of that
splendid, instrument. The power and sweetness
of tone of the new grand is a wonder when you
consider its size and the beauty and design of
its case. This is remarked by all who see it. You
are certainly to be congratulated in producing so
perfect an instrument and I bespeak for it great
popularity when it becomes well known."
NEW CONCERN IN BUFFALO.
L. B. Adams, formerly head salesman for the
H. Tracy Balcom Co., Buffalo, N. Y., and Albert
F. Koenig, have formed the Adams-Koenig Piano
Co., in that city and have opened warerooms at
626 Main street, that city, where they handle the
Hallet & Davis Co., line of pianos and the Vir-
tuolo player-piano.
ARRESTED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Samuel Terwilleger, a traveling salesman for
the M. A. Darroch Piano Co., Chicago, who are
now in the bankruptcy court, was arrested last
week in Jacksonville, Fla., on a charge of contempt
of court, made by Judge George A. Carpenter, of
the Eastern Division of the Northern District of
Illinois, and was brought back to Chicago.
