The Music Trade Review
Detroit Music Dealers to Be Guests of
Cleveland Trade to Study Piano Contest
Music Men From Detroit to Tell Cleveland Music Dealers of the Success of That Event in
Their City—Gathering to Take Place After Michigan Meeting
/CLEVELAND, O., August 10.—Ohio music
^ dealers are to invite members of the De-
troit trade to come to Cleveland the latter part
of this month for the purpose of learning from
them complete details of the Detroit Piano
Playing Contest. The Detroiters will also be
entertained and a program is now being ar-
ranged. All this was decided at a luncheon
and special meeting at the Hotel Statler, on
Friday, July 29, and attended by a number of
prominent members of the industry of Cleve-
land among whom were Anthony Maresh, presi-
dent of the Cleveland Music Trades Association,
and Otto C. Muehlhauser, president of the Ohio
Music Merchants Association, and Rex. C. Hyre,
secretary.
The fact that the Detroit convention takes
place August 16 to 19 makes it impossible to
have the Detroiters come to Cleveland until
after that event, so according to present ar-
rangements they will arrive on a date to be
designated a little later on.
Not only are the Ohio members anxious to
entertain the Detroit delegation but they are
AUGUST 14, 1926
also keenly interested in the Detroit Piano
Playing Contest and there is much favorable
sentiment for something similar in this State.
The announcement that Cleveland public
schools are to give piano lessons commencing
this Fall has aroused still greater interest in
piano merchandising.
Mrs. Margaret Slocum, wife of Milton R.
Slocum, well-known Cleveland music dealer,
passed away after a long illness on Sunday,
July 25, and was buried from her home, 1610
Chesterland avenue, Lakewood, July 28. Mr.
Slocum has the sympathy of the entire trade,
among whom he is well known and widely re-
spected.
Everything is set for the annual picnic of the
Dreher Piano Co., which will take place on
August 7 at the "Regnatz," famous Cleveland
resort for such events. The shop will play the
sales and office force a game of ball. There will
be other games such as box pole, hidden money,
etc., all of which will add to the enjoyment of
the day. A dinner, for which the "Regnatz"
is famous, will be served at 12.30. The picnic
will be the second held by the company, the
first being held last year and which proved
greatly enjoyable.
The Robert L. White Music Co. closed their
piano, phonograph and radio department July
31. Announcement that this would take place
was made a month or more ago and a clear-
ance sale has been in effect since then. There
still remain a few pianos and other odds and
ends to be disposed of. The other departments
of the store will be continued as heretofore,
handling King band instruments and other
nationally known makes of small goods.
Renie Burdett, of the Starr Piano Co., is back
on the job again after another spell of illness.
Mrs. R. E. Taylor, wife of R. E. Taylor, man-
ager of the local Starr branch, has also re-
covered from a severe illness. Howard Craw-
ford, who was formerly with the Starr Piano
Co. here, was a visitor this week. He is now
located in Jacksonville, Fla., where he is man-
ager of a prominent music store. Miss Kin-
sella, who has been giving lessons to public
school teachers for the past two weeks at the
rooms of the Starr .Co., has concluded her
course.
Attractive New Apex Line
of Radio Receivers
Apex Electric Mfg. Co., Chicago, Introduces
Several New Models of Six and Five-Tube
Receivers for Current Season

zation of HARD MAPLE tor Musical Instruments, from
harp construction to the making of rugged Packing Boxes
and Crates. It also describes the application of HARD
MAPLE in many other industries, and gives official
data and strength tests on all American Hardwoods.
CHICAGO, III., August 9.—The Apex Electric
Mfg. Co., Chicago, established manufacturer
of radio receivers, has just announced to the
trade a new and attractive line of instruments of
this type, several of the new models being of
the six-tube variety and one of the five-tube
type, such as was issued last season. All the
new instruments are of the one-dial control
type that has contributed so largely to the pop-
ularity of the Apex line, and in addition to the
mechanical efficiency of the sets there is to be
considered the cabinet work that is of high
order.
The new models include the Apex Model 6,
a six-tube set, in a handsomely finished walnut
cabinet with bronze panel with oxidized wood
grain finish; Model 16, also a six-tube set, with
built-in loud speaker and one-dial control, and
Model 5, a five-tube set, also attractively finished
and with one-dial control. A special console
base has also been designed by the company to
fit the several types of receivers, and its use
gives to the owner a complete unit, with suitable
5pace for the necessary batteries, etc.
A special folder containing illustrations and
descriptive matter relative to the various in-
struments in the new line has been prepared by
the company for distribution to the trade and
public. The illustration shows the various
models by themselves as they appear in position
on the console cabinet.
