MASSILLON, O., June 27.—With incorporation this
week of the Van Horn Music Co., this
well-known concern will begin a program of
expansion.
The company has been issued
papers of incorporation to deal in musical in-
struments, household furnishings and general
merchandise.
The Van Horn Music Co. has previously an-
nounced plans for moving from its present loca-
tion in East Main street to a new building now
under construction, closer to the shopping area
?nd on the opposite side of the street. The
building will be ready for the company next
month.

business men who this week made a 300-mile
airplane trip to St. Louis with an invitation
to Col. Charles Lindbergh to visit DeKalb in
the interests of a municipal airport for that city.
The trip is to be accepted as indicating the
growing interest in aviation, for prior to Lind-
bergh's trans-Atlantic flight it would have been
practically impossible to persuade four business
men to take a 600-mile trip of such a character
in an airplane. As it is, local business interests
are actively engaged in supporting the move-
ment for a first-class airport for the city.
