MUSIC WEEK IN SAN FRANCISCO
Celebration Held There This Week Proves Most
Successful—Local Music Dealers Dine—Per-
sonals and Items of Interest
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., October 31.—Music dealers
of San Francisco were very generous in giving
to the public free demonstrations of music to be
played in the city's first Music Week, October 30
to November 6. Sherman, Clay & Co. offered
free recitals on the Duo-Art pianos, while
Kohler & Chase, Wiley B. Allen and others gave
musical selections on both players and phono-
graphs.
Concerts of the week which attracted most
attention were those given by the various for-
eign choral societies, the children's sing and the
musical memory demonstration. Many sheet
music dealers reported that sales of high-class
music had been stimulated by the work of the
choruses, while musical merchandise accessories
were sold to various bands and orchestras which
took part in the festival.
The music trades dinner, attended by dealers
in the bay district of San Francisco, October
25, was, in addition to professional benefits, a
very enjoyable affair. Charles Dean and W. R.
Lawrence, of the Wiley B. Allen Co., staged a
clever skit entitled "The Piano Movers," an en-
tirely original and brilliant effort, which ap-
pealed to the hearts of all present. A much-
battered piano was the third actor in this great
piece.
The Kimball Upson Store, of Sacramento,
which is well known for its very complete line
of sporting goods, has just added a music stock,
which will be under the management of Charles
E. Owens. Mr. Owens was in San Francisco re-
cently buying goods for his department, which
includes pianos, players, Q R S rolls, phono-
graphs and records.
The Spokane Dry Goods Store, of Spokane,
Wash., has discontinued its line of pianos and
. expects to concentrate on phonographs and rec-
ords.
Adolph Winters, proprietor of the Winters
Music Store, Richmond, Cal., is building a new
concrete, two-story structure, which will be fin-
ished by the first of January. The Winters
Music Store will occupy the first floor and mez-
zanine, while the second floor will be given over
to clubrooms. Mr. Winters carries a general
music line.
V. F. Wells, proprietor of the Martinez Music
Co., Martinez, Cal., has been in San Francisco
recently on a buying trip.
W. F. Tatroe, manager of the player roll de-
partment of Sherman, Clay & Co., returned re-
cently after a business trip to the Atlantic
coast. Mr. Tatroe spent some time in New
York, Chicago and Detroit.
F, G. Leslie, a well-known engineer of Sew-
ard, Alaska, was in San Francisco recently and
purchased a huge Deagan marimba, style 4724,
for his daughter. Henry Grobe made the sale
