THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
NEWS FROM HARDMAN HOUSE
Illness of G. W. Bantle Regretted—Service Flag
Shows 55 Men In Service—Frank Bolway
Tells of Active Business Up-State
The many friends in the trade of George VV.
Bantle, retail manager of Hardman, Peck & Co.,
will regret to know that this popular piano man
is seriously ill in a local hospital, and will prob-
ably be obliged to undergo an operation the end
of this week. Mr. Bantle returned Monday from
a month's vacation at Twin Lakes, but this vaca-
tion, instead of bringing back his former good
health, only weakened him and made an opera-
tion imperative. The doctors expect that Mr.
Bantle will be back at his desk in the near future
with renewed vim and vigor.
There is now on display in the show window
at Hardman House, 433 Fifth avenue, New York,
a beautiful service Hag containing fifty-five stars.
Several of the former employes of Hardman,
Peck & Co. have won commissions in the U. S.
Army, and quite a number of the boys from the
Hardman office and factory are now actively
engaged in battle on the Western Front.
Frank Bolway, of Frank E. Bolway & Son,
Syracuse, X. Y., Hardman, Peck dealers, was a
visitor to Hardman House this week, bringing
with him optimistic reports of the business situ-
ation up-State. Mr. Bolway's house is closing
a splendid Hardman business, and the demand
for Hardman grands and Autotones in this terri-
tory is well ahead of last year.
and we shall continue to claim
for the wonderful
M. Schulz Company
Player-Piano
the predominating qualities of
Tightness
Reliability
High Quality of Piano
Superiority to Competition
These claims we can demonstrate. The primary quality
that makes a player-piano popular with the dealer, namely,
its SALABILITY, is a SCHULZ quality above all others.
Our SCHULZ PLAYER BOOK enables you to
understand why we make such claims as these;
let us send you your copy. Just write for it!
