NEWS FROM^ALT LAKE CITY
Stone & Co. Report Good Demand for Violins—
"Ukulele" Hughes Organizes Band Among
Firemen—New Repair Shop Opens
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, February 20.—According
to I. W. Stone, president of Stone & Co., whole-
salers of musical merchandise, this company is
enjoying a good business just now in Idaho.
Bert Garner was recently sent to Idaho as a
special traveling representative for the firm.
Violins and 'cellos are selling more rapidly than
any other line just at present.
Mr. Stone, who is a young, aggressive business
man of a pleasing personality, told a Review
reporter that the policy of the firm of late has
been to send special representatives into a
territory rather than have a regular traveling
man visit the territory periodically. The com-
pany is devoting much of its time to selling the
C. G. Conn band and orchestra instruments.
"Their new number, known as the Opera Grand
Trumpet, has been selling like a whirlwind in
this territory," declared Mr. Stone. "Our jobbing
business has increased rapidly of late and is
still growing. I expect shortly to leave on an
extensive trip through the several States cov-
ered by our organization."
Through the efforts of "Ukulele" Hughes,
head of the small goods and sheet music depart-
ment of the Glen Bros.-Roberts Piano Co., the
fire department of this city now has a band which
performs most creditably.
This company has suspended a Magnavox over
the door of its store, which plays popular airs
during business hours. George Bolduc, popular
manager of the phonograph department, says
the instrument has already resulted in many in-
quiries for records.
"Herrick's Musical Instrument Hospital" is
the name of a new "institution" at 159 South
Main street, this city. Musical instruments of
all kinds are repaired and rebuilt, according to
the announcement.

of small goods for Chicago and Middle Western
territory. While in New York he succeeded in
making some important connections with musi-
cal merchandise manufacturers and wholesalers.
He will shortly be ready to pursue an ambitious
and energetic sales campaign in behalf of the
various lines of musical merchandise.

Music dealers of the metropolitan district will
welcome the news that plans have been com-
pleted for the fifth season of open-air Summer
concerts to be given on the Green at Columbia
University by the Goldman concert band. This
annual Summer series always stimulates inter-
est in band instruments.
The Goldman Band, under the direction of
Edwin Franko Goldman, will again be the mail
attraction. Instrumental and vocal soloists will
appear with the organization. This band has
achieved unusual success during the past four
years and has played to huge crowds nightly.
It is the first musical organization to have given
five long and consecutive seasons of Summei
concerts in New York City.
The personnel of the organization remains
practically the same, except that the member-
ship will be increased. Edwin Franko Gold-
man, who organized the concerts, will again be
the conductor and general manager. After the
season at Columbia the band will make its first
transcontinental tour.
