Detroit, Mich., Feb. 10, 1913.
The use af motor trucks for piano deliveries is
rapidly increasing in Detroit—so much so, in fact,
that the truck makers exhibiting at the National
Automobile Show here this week are advertising
directly to the piano trade. One manufacturer
uses a half tone of a truck in use by Grinnell
Brothers, showing a load of instruments in trans-
portation and using the piano house's name.
J. Henry Ling is believed to have been the first
Detroit piano merchant to use motors for de-
livery. About ten years ago he bought a Rapid,
which he used for four years, and since then has
bought other trucks. About six years ago Grinnell
Brothers bought an electric, which was so useful
that they have added others from time to time,
until the use of their old-time drays has entirely
disappeared.
A professional piano mover, named Cameron,
using auto trucks, does the delivering for several
other piano houses. Motor delivery is becoming
a necessity for Detroit, because the city has very
long hauls for one of its population, which is now
580,000, exclusive of the immediately adjoining
suburbs. To deliver a grand or a player to one of
the new mansions at the farther side of Grosse
Pointe, a distance of fourteen or fifteen miles
must be covered.
Port Huron, sixty miles up the river, is often
the recipient of a Detroit piano by motor truck de-
livery instruments half a hundred miles away as
cheaply as by freight, and much more safely. If
it happens that two or three sales have been made
that can be delivered en route, the deliveries can
be made at less cost than by freight. And the in-
struments will be handed by men who know how,
instead of being entrusted to country draymen,
who do not know how.

Wichita, Kan., Feb. 10, 1913.
Guy Marshall, a salesman for a piano house in
Wellington, Kan., while returning from a delivery
last week, met death under rather mysterious cir-
cumstances. It is believed his team was frightened
and ran away. As it neared the railroad tracks
he was thrown from the wagon. His body was on
the tracks when the engineer on the Southern
Kansas train saw it. The brakes were put on, but
did not stop the train in time. Papers led to the
identification. Marshall was thirty-five years old
and leaves a widow and one son.
