The head of the company is Senator John A.
McDonald, father to our young friend. W. M.
McDonald is secretary; C. R. Swift, vice-presi-
dent, and W. W. Casey, correspondent, head of
stock and buyer. The individual who watches
the debits and credits is H. W. Smith. The
company has several branches. The establish-
ment at Halifax, N. S., is conducted by the
Misses McDonald, B. A. and M. E., who run
a music store in conjunction with the piano
equipment. The St. John, N. B., branch is
operated by A. E. McDonald & Co., who also
conduct a general music store. There are rep-
resentatives of the Amherst Piano Co. from
Halifax to the West Coast—in other words,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The huskies and myself tried to get Johnny
to take dinner with us, but he said he had
another engagement. He didn't say much about
whom it was with but you couldn't lure him away.
He compromised by saying he would take his
breakfast with us in the morning. Johnny is a
popular boy about town and knows almost
everyone worth knowing. As we were walking
down the street towards the hotel, Johnny met
an old friend whom he had not seen for several
months and who had been married meanwhile.
"So you're married at last, allow me to con-
gratulate you," said Johnny. "I hear you have
an excellent and accomplished wife." "I have,
indeed," was the proud reply. "She is perfectly
at home in literature, at home in music, at home
in art, in short, she's at home everywhere, ex-
cept—." "Except what?" asked Johnny. "Ex-
cept at home."
We passed a restful night at the hotel in
Amherst. Johnny was on the spot to meet us
at the breakfast table in the morning. We all
ordered, at the suggestion of our friend, some
"non-skid pancakes." Curious to know what
that meant, we were told it was another name
for "waffles," and I am pleased to report that
they nevertheless "skidded" pretty rapidly after
being spread with home-made Nova Scotia but-
ter and syrup. There were really no bad effects.
While reading the morning newspaper, at the
table, my friend Johnny Fitzpatrick read this
item: "Nova Scotia doctor says thousand have
died from being kissed." The article gave cer-
tain rules and precautions to prevent a further
epidemic. The editor of the same paper re-
marked: "Many thousands are dying to be
kissed"
With the assurance that the roads were in
good condition (and there are different kinds
of good) we left cheerfully, bright and happy
for St. John, N. B.

The Richmond Music Supply Corp. has issued
250,000 four-page circulars for consumers to be
distributed by music dealers throughout the
country. This publicity material carries the cap-
tion "The Keyboard Road to Musicland"

for music lovers and many of them will be

Marks Numbers Popular
Howard Reichenbach is now in charge of the
advertising and publicity department of Jack
Mills, Inc. The Mills Co. is 'planning a very
heavy Fall campaign on its catalog. Its present
popular numbers give it a prominent position
on the music counters throughout the country

will further the Mills interests during the Fall.
Probably one of the most important acquisi-
tions made by the Mills organization is the new
song "The Lonesomest Gal in Town," written
by Al Dubin, the writer of "Just a Girl That
Men Forget."
Irving Mills, of the Mills firm, recently spent
several days in Atlantic City, where a special
late Summer Mills campaign has been put under
way.
