emplified in trade organization.
Music Publishers to Meet
The first fall meeting of the Boston Music
Publishers' Association will be held at the
Parker House on the evening of Tuesday, Oc-
tober 14. President Harry B. Crosby is pre-

W. Homeyer Co., and Ernest R. Voight, of the
Boston Music Co. It is President Crosby's
purpose to include a half-dozen musical num-

Hallet & Davis Co. Progress in the West
Secretary John L. Cotter, of the Hallet &
Davis Co., is home from his rush trip taken to
Chicago and other Central West cities, and from
his observations made hurriedly he was much
impressed with the volume of business that is
piling up everywhere. Business with the Hallet
& Davis Co. is growing at such a rate that there
is difficulty in the factory keeping up with the
orders.
Sign That Winter Is Coming
When D. D. Luxton begins to take his trim
little craft out of the waters of Quincy Bay
make up your mind that winter is approaching.
That's what this hustling Vosc & Sons repre-
sentative has been doing this week, following a
most delightful season of aquatic comfort and
pleasure, during which his boat was entered in
several races.
J. W. Jenkins Visits Vose Plant
A caller a few days ago at the Vose factory
was John Wesley Jenkins, of the J. W. Jenkins'
Sons Music Co. of Kansas City. He was most
enthusiastic over the progress that the Vose
house is making and there were hearty con-
gratulations for the splendid type of instru-
ments which the factory is producing. Mr.
Jenkins is always sure of a pleasant welcome
when he comes to Boston.
Volunteered for Traffic Duty
Stanwood Miller, of the Henry F. Miller
Co., is one of those who volunteered for traffic
duty during the strike. At first he was located
in the Back Bay, but he is now serving as a
special officer in another part of the city.
Wm. Knabe a Visitor
William Knabe was a Boston visitor a few
days ago. He called on a number of his Bos-
ton friends and was pleasantly received every-
where.

lines of music rolls on the theory that it is bet-
ter to handle a couple of complete lines than
certain numbers of several lines. At the pres-
ent time Mr. Miller declares that he is well
equipped to take care of the prospective rush of
trade in the fall.
