The New Pfriemer Re-enforced Hammer
Points of Merit—No. 3
The hammer retains its original shape throughout its life, thus in-
suring lasting tone quality. N o matter how hard the hammer is
used against the strings the head of the hammer cannot cave or
flatten out because the re-enforcement petrifies the side and holds
the felt fibres intact.

MILWAUKEE, WIS., June 22.—Due in part to the
hearty support given hy the piano men of Wis-
consin, Bill No. 4038, amending the statutes relat-
ing to fraudulent advertising, has been passed by
both houses of the State Legislature, has been
signed by Gov. E. L. Philipp and has been pub-
lished as a law. Piano men are confident that
the reform advertising law, as amended, will be
effective in keeping out fraudulent advertising of
all kinds. The law, designated as Chapter 84,
now reads as follows:
"An act to amend section 1747k of the statutes,
relating to fraudulent advertising.
"The people of the State of Wisconsin, repre-
sented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as fol-
lows :
"Section 1. Section 1747k of the statutes is
amended to read: Section 1747k. Any person,

to sell or in any wise dispose of merchandise,

DENVER, COL., June 19.—The piano and talking
machine dealers of this city are well satisfied with
the business which is resulting from the twenty
day racing meet of the Colorado Agricultural Fair
and Racing Association, which started its season
here on June 12. The meeting serves to draw thou-
sands of people from the farming districts and
from the smaller cities and towns of the State, and
many of them have returned or will return to
their homes in due course the owners of new
pianos or talking machines.
The piano houses have, for the most part, ar-
ranged special window displays for the purpose of
attracting extra attention from the 1 visitors during
the racing nu'et, and several of the prominent
houses have been carrying on a series of daily
musicales in which the talking machine and player-
piano find prominent places. Among those holding
recitals are the Denver Music Co., th.> Knight-
Campbell Music Co. and the McKannon Co.
