BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND
John H. Wilson, Representative, 324 Washington St., Boston, Mass.
OSTON, MASS., August 11.—It may be
a far cry to look ahead a whole year
and not to take cognizance of the weeks
and months in between, but it is a fact that
about that time business in the Back Bay, and
more especially with the houses that lie in be-
tween Park square and Arlington street, should
take a decided spurt. The reason is that at last
after long delays it is affirmatively announced
that the long looked-for Statler Hotel is to be
built in this neighborhood. Mr. Statler has long
had hfs eye on Boston as a suitable location
for one of his chain of hotels, and he has owned
for some time the large lot bounded by Arling-
ton street, Columbus and St. James avenues,
rather triangular in shape. The main entrance,
in the first plans located in Arlington street,
will now be in St. James avenue and bids
for building the hotel, which is to cost $14,000,-
000, will be called for some time this month,
and operations will be begun probably early in
the Fall. As already noted the building of this
hotel will mean a great deal to business pros-
perity and the piano trade is sure to get its
share.
August Starts Well for Poole
Ava W. Poole, president of the Poole Piano
Co., says that the month of August made a
very good start so far as business is concerned,
and a number of orders will keep the factory
busy for some time. Mr. Poole is planning to
spend the next fortnight away from the of-
fice and will remain at his seashore home at
Eastern Point, Gloucester, where his family
is and where he has gone each night. E. C.
Parkhurst, treasurer of the company, and his
family have returned from their vacation spent
in Maine. H. L. Davis, factory superintendent,

will not start on his vacation until later in
the season. Dan E. Fabyan, of the traveling
staff, who has been away on a very protracted
trip, is headed homeward and should be back
at the factory the end of this week.
Hallet & Davis Personals
B. F. Clark, road man for Ohio for the Hallet
& Davis Co., is here in town spending a few
days at the factory. R. O. Ainslie, vice-presi-
dent of the company, has returned from his va-
cation which was spent at Cape Cod, where
he indulged himself in his chief sport—golf.
Treasurer E. A. Groff has been spending his
vacation at Grafton, Vt.
News of the Vacationists
Wallace W. Flagg, of the C. C. Harvey Co.'s
retail staff, leaves here Saturday for his an-
nual vacation, usually spent in the White Moun-
tains. This year he is varying his usual routine
and is taking the first week at the Mount Wash-
ington Hotel, at Bretton Woods.
Walter Gillis, the Boylston street merchant,
spent his second week-end at North Truro,
down on Cape Cod, and came back to work
greatly rested. He motored back and forth
with his daughter.

chandise department of the Continental Piano

vacation. He has not definitely decided just
where he is going, but may motor up to Mon-
treal before returning home to take up business
again.

and publicity department of the Continental
Piano Co., is away for one week, which he is
spending at Antrim, N. H. A. C. Clausen, of
the same company, has gone to the Detroit
store of the company, and before returning to
Boston will visit the company's other head-
quarters in the Middle West.
Joel G. Ghilds Resigns
Effective September 1, Joel G. Childs, West-
ern representative of the Wickham Piano Plate
Co., has resigned from their service to go into
business for himself. In the near future he will
call on his many friends in the trade in another
capacity. Mr. Childs has been associated with
the supply branch of the piano industry for a
number of years, having also represented the
American Felt Co. in the Western and Eastern
fields in the sale of piano hammers before en-
tering the employ of the Wickham Piano Plate
Co.
