Milwaukee, Wis., August 6, 1912.
The Red Room in the Hotel Pfister, one of the
most famous dining halls in the Northwest, is now
equipped with a handsome Francis Bacon piano,
sold by Emil O. Schmidt, 310 Grand avenue. The
purchase was made personally by Charles F. Pns-
ter, the multi-millionaire owner of the Hotel Pfis-
ter, who takes great pride in his famous hostelry,
and especially in the Red Room.
Mr. Schmidt has been making some fine Kranich
& Bach and Seybold sales during the past week,
among them the disposal of a large style Kranich
& Bach player to Robert W. Kiewert, president of
the Charles L. Kiewert Co., dealers in brewers'
supplies. Mr. Schmidt was a member of the party
of nearly 100 business men of the Milwaukee Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' Association taken across
Lake Michigan this week by officials of the Pere
Marquette line on an outing to Ludington, Manis-
tee and other points.
Milwaukee, Wis., August 6, 1912.
E. H. Greulich, manager of the new Milwaukee
store of the Cable-Nelson Piano Co., has opened
a new branch store in a brand new building at 907
Milwaukee avenue, South Milwaukee, an enterpris-
ing little industrial city a few miles south of Mil-
waukee, where a fine stock of Cable-Nelson pianos
has been installed. Charles Rohlfing has been
placed in direct charge of the new branch.
The first piano from the new branch store, a
Style F Cable-Nelson, was sold to Charles Franke,
mayor jof South Milwaukee, and this started the
ball rolling, with the result that a. brisk business is
being secured by Mr. Rohlfing.
Manager Greulich has come out with the an-
nouncement that henceforth he will adhere to the
one-price system, and is advertising the Cable-
Nelson pianos on this basis. Mr. Greulich says
that he does not approve the "thirty-day-trial" plan
being followed by some houses, and believes in
marking his pianos in plain figures and selling them
en safe terms.

Washington, D. C, Aug. 5, 1912.
The latest trade statistics for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1912, show a great gain in trade
with South America as compared with the period
ended June 30, 1911.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911, the total
trade of the United States with South America
was valued at $291,528,634; for 1H12 it amounted
to $347,399,767.
Exports to Argentina, Brazil, Chili and Uruguay
showed a gain for the year of from 22 to 29 per
cent, over last year.
C. A. Barnes, proprietor of the Barnes Music
House, Pine Bluff, Ark., is making a strong bid for
the patronage of piano prospects in his territory
upon the claim of clean business methods in piano
selling. The Barnes Music House has the agency
for the Starr, Lauter, Hobart M. Cable, Price &
Teeple, Richmond, Trayser and Remington pianos
and the Peerless Automatic pianos, and has pub-
lished letters from the Peerless Piano Player Co.
and the Starr Piano Co. complimenting Mr. Barne.s
upon his advertising and business methods gen-
erally in the highest terms.
Poole Pianos A re
Business Builders
is not a mere assertion, but a statement of fact verified by reports of piano
dealers handling the POOLE throughout the country. And this is due to the
fact that from the very inception of our business we have adhered strictly to our
original policy of manufacturing one grade only, and we take pride in the fact that
the name of Poole is associated with no other than a piano of the highest grade*
As a result of this one grade policy the Poole instruments have won a position
for reliability and excellence wherever sold. They have made friends for those handling
them, to such an extent that purchasers of the Poole recommend them unqualifiedly
to their friends, and in this way the trade of the piano dealer is helped through the
sale of Poole pianos.
The Poole Pianos and Player Pianos for 1912 are instruments which will build
trade and reputation for the dealer no matter where located. This is something worth
thinking over.
