NEW PEARSON PIANO CO. STORE
Eighth Branch of Indianapolis Music Concern
Opened in Greensburg, Ind.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., May 30.—The Pearson Piano
Co. has opened a new store at Greensburg, under
the management of Dan Williams, manager of
the store at Shelbyville. Greensburg is' a town of
5,000 population and the new store has been
opened as a temporary proposition, the per-
manency of which will depend on the business
developed in the next few months. Mr. Pearson
says the opening of the store was attended by
niore than 4,000 people.
This makes the eighth Pearson store in the
State, in addition to the one in this city. The
seventh store was recently bought by Mr. Pear-
son at North Vernon from G. R. Williams,
father of H. P. Williams, manager of the Pear-
son store at Columbus. The younger Mr. Wil-
liams is managing both the Columbus and North
Vernon stores.
E. W. Stockdale, manager of the Indianapolis
store, reports business more stable, with high-
priced instruments continuing to sell better than
the less costly instruments. General conditions,
he thinks, point to a steady betterment of trade
that will end with business close to normal in the
Fall and Winter.
The first hot weather of the season struck In-
dianapolis the last two weeks of this month,
with the result that trade has to a large extent
been turned from musical instruments to Sum-
mer clothing. This, at least, is the opinion of
most of the piano dealers, who report little new
business in that period. Jobbers in practically
all lines of merchandise report that purchases
for the most part are still for immediate require-
ments. Industrial operations continue below
normal in most branches.
