THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
MILWAUKEE ASSOCIATION HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING
Definite Plans Prepared Whereby Scope and Functions of the Organization Will Be Greatly En-
larged—New Second Vice-president Chosen—To Join Chicago Club in Joint Outing
MILWAUKEE, WIS., August 1.—The Milwaukee
Association of Music Industries, recognizing
that the times demand the closest application
possible to the task of making business better,
now and next Fall, did not omit as usual its
July meeting, but succeeded in gathering about
thirty-five members to sit around the luncheon
table at the Hotel Wisconsin and talk real busi-
ness for about two hours on Thursday, July 27.
Acceptance of a cordial invitation received
from the Piano Club of Chicago to join with
its members in the annual outing to be held at
Ravinia Park on Wednesday, August 9, and
preparation of plans for an enthusiastic partici-
pation in this big frolic of the Chicago piano
men was the high light of the meeting.
This was introduced following an executive
session at which President Frederick W. Car-
berry, Chickering and Brunswick dealer, and
Frank E. Morton, of the Jackson & Morton
Piano Co., as chairman of the ways and means
committee, presented a comprehensive plan of
work, the details of which are not yet ready
for the public eye. In fact, to discuss the pro-
gram publicly at this time might prejudice its
success, it is stated. The ways and means com-
mittee was instructed to proceed with its plan
and the executive committee of the Association,
consisting of the officers and chairmen of all
committees, will meet next Thursday and every
week thereafter until the general meeting to be
held Thursday, August 24.
Walter J. Przbylski, president and manager of
the Modern Music Shop, was elected second
vice-president, filling an office that recently was
created when the Association adopted a new con-
stitution and set of by-laws providing for two
vice-presidents. Hugh M. Holmes, sales man-
ager of the J. B. Bradford Piano Co., elected
vice-president at the annual meeting last Spring,
becomes first vice-president. The new second
vice-president was chosen as the representative
of the dealers in the outlying districts of the city,
Mr. Holmes being a member of one of the larg-
est of the concerns located in the heart of the
city, which, however, has a branch on the south
side.
The efforts of Chairman Leslie C. Parker, head
of the Badger Victrola Shop, were rewarded by
the admission of three new members at this
meeting. They include Irving H. Klein, who re-
cently joined the Badger Shop as manager of
the piano department; Charles A. Schowalter,
head of the Unique Music Shop, and W. E.
Pugh, assistant sales manager of the musical
merchandise department of the Yahr & Lange
Drug Co., distributor of the Mathushek piano,
Sonora phonograph and Okeh records in Wis-
consin and upper Michigan. J. A. Christopher-
son, manager of the division, is the secretary of
the Milwaukee Association.
Plans for the joint outing with the Piano
Club of Chicago are in charge of Henry M.
Steussy, sales manager of the Kesselman-
O'Driscoll Co., who is chairman of the local
Association's entertainment committee. It is
believed that sufficient acceptances can be se-
cured to run a special train over the Chicago,
1922
North Shore & Milwaukee Electric from Mil-
waukee to Ravinia Park and return on August
9. Members present at Thursday's luncheon
subscribed for about fifty guests, including them-
selves and members of their store organizations
and families. The Milwaukee party may reach
100 to 125 in number.
The formal invitation extended by President
W. S. Jenkins and Secretary John McKenna,
of the Chicago Club, was supplemented by a
warm greeting brought from the Windy City
by Frank E. Morton, who attended the monthly
luncheon at Chicago on July 26. There is some-
thing significant in the extension as well as ac-
ceptance of the invitation, for it is the first time
that the Chicago and Milwaukee clubs have
actually gotten together in social intercourse,
and this, it is believed, is going to result in a
form and spirit of co-operation that will benefit
materially the music business of the entire ter-
ritory lying along the southern shore of Lake
Michigan.
Elected President to Succeed George S. Glen—Several Attractive Window Displays Help Keep
Business Up to Fair Totals—Radio Proving a Stimulus—Other News
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, July 31.—Charles H.
Norberg, of the Daynes-Beebe Music Co., has
been elected president of the Utah Association of
Music Industries in the place of George S. Glen,
president of the Glen Bros.-Roberts Piano Co.,
resigned. Other changes in the organization
were the election of Albert L. Kirk, of the John
Elliot Clark Co., first vice-president; Harry
O'Loughlin, second vice-president, and Jay S.
Glen, Glen Bros.-Roberts Piano Co., third vice-
president. Further plans for Music Week in the
Fall were discussed.
The Cikaylo Violin Exchange and Restoring
Shop is the name of a concern that has been
established at 157 Regent street.
That radio would seem to be helping the music
dealers instead of hindering them, as some feared,
is shown by the fact that local retailers are being
asked occasionally for "records that I heard last
night at a radio concert."
The Daynes-Beebe Music Co. had a big nov-
elty in its window—at least, a novelty in this
section—which consisted of a large collection of
miniature pianos placed on the revolving stand
in their window. The little instruments were
only a few inches long and attracted much atten-
tion.

(Established 1857)
Executive Offices: Kimball Bldg., CHICAGO, U. S. A.

Weber Canyon, their Summer home.
The Consolidated Music Co. had a special win-
dow decoration in honor of the Utah Pioneer,
Utah, being seventy-five years old on July 24.
The window represented music of pioneer days.
An old piano of the period was draped in a rare
bit of old paisley, regarded in those days as a
choice possession. On the paisley rests an old
Bible of a 1665 edition. In contrast to the relics
is a fine modern piano. The Consolidated win-
dows are decorated by Dean Daynes, Manager
R. W. Daynes' popular brother, and are always
worth while.
H. J. Norris, of Smith, Barnes & Strohber
Piano Co., was a recent local visitor.
J. C. McClain, secretary-treasurer of the Utah
Music Co., East First South street, is planning a
trip to Seattle, Wash.
Some of the local dealers say the piano busi-
ness is quite good this Summer. Asked how they
account for it being good just now, they ex-
pressed the opinion that many parents consider
the Summer holidays a good time to teach their
children the use of the piano.
Miss Nan Browning, popular head of the small
goods department of the Glen Bros.-Roberts
Piano Co., is giving a series of recitals for the
Telegram broadcasting station. Records for the
talking machine music are being furnished by
Miss Browning's company.
Sidney D. Hampton, of the Consolidated
Music Co., is planning a trip to Yellowstone
Park. It will be made by auto and Mr. Hampton
will be accompanied by his wife and kiddies.
George A. Bolduc, manager of the talking ma-
chine department of the Glen Bros.-Roberts
Piano Co. until recently, has accepted the posi-
tion offered him by the Larson Music Co., Sid-
ney, Neb. Mr. Bolduc's successor has not been
appointed at this writing.
Harry O'Loughlin, president, and "Ukulele"
Hughes, manager of the small goods department
of O'Loughlin's, are planning a fishing trip in
southern Utah. Mr. O'Loughlin told the writer
that the small goods department has proved a
wonderful success, especially since being taken
over by Mr. Hughes.
The Beesley Music Co., 57 Main street, pioneer
piano people of this section, got out a neat little
pantomimic representation of those who blazed
the trails westward and the spirit of the songs
they carried with them. The leaflet was pub-
lished in celebration of the Utah diamond jubilee
on July 24. When the pioneers, under Brighatn
Young, famous Mormon leader, came to the
spot now occupied by Salt Lake City there was
nothing but sage brush and sand, except Indians,
who were worse than no neighbors, for they had
to be fought and watched. The history of the
State has been marked by musical activities
which were fostered by Brigham Young.
