THE
is showing strong improvement this week in com-
parison with the dull business in the interior.
Frank Anrys, of the Wiley B. Allen Co., left to-
day for an automobile trip to Del Monte and other
points of interest in the South.
Frank Teeple, of Price & Teeple, left for the
East this week after a sojourn of several weeks in
this vicinity. His golf record at the Del Monte
tournament of the Piano Trade Golf Association
singled him out for marked attention, and he left
San Francisco with a splendid opinion of San Fran-
cisco hospitality.
Charles A. Ericsson, president of Ludwig & Co. ;
who has been in the city on business and pleasure,
left this week.
Clark Wise is back at his desk after a very
pleasant vacation spent at Napa Soda Springs. He
is not planning to inaugurate any special piano
selling campaign this month.
Fred Christianer, Pacific Coast representative
of the Cote Piano Co., with headquarters in Los
Angeles, is calling on the San Francisco trade this
week. Alfred Dolge, of Los Angeles, the Pacific
Coast representative of the Haddorff Piano Co.,
has returned SouLh after a few days in this city.
R. K. Maynard, representing the M. Schulz Co.,
was here and has just left.
Byron Mauzy, who recently injured his hand in
an automobile accident, has so far recovered the
use of that member as to b: able to sign checks—
if he is so minded.
Walter & Nicholls, "the one-price piano house,'
which is located on the third floor of the Samuel
Lace House building on Stockton street, is having
a very fair run of business, considering that it is
but little over two months since they really got
launched in their new enterprise. They go after
business with a staff of competent outside sales-
men who work strictly on commission.
