George W. Moore, which has had a wide reputa-

Moore's patented capstan screws, is attaining an
equal position with agraffes. George A. Moore,

GREENVILLE, O., December 19.—The Greenville
Piano Co., which purchased the Breaden Build-
ing on South Broadway, this city, about a
month ago, has moved its entire stock from
the old location at 534 Broadway and is now
ready for business in its new establishment.
The quarters have been entirely remodeled and
present an attractive appearance. Pianos,
phonographs and radio are the principal items
of stock carried by the Greenville concern.
Buffalo Concerns Merge
The Gulbransen Co. has announced new names
of four of its models, applying to two pianos and
two of the Registering pianos, four feet five
inches high. The new names have been chosen
as follows: The small Suburban Registering piano
will be known as the Autograph model, the small
Community Registering piano will be known as
the Cosmopolitan model, the small style S will be
known as the Symphony model, the small style C
will be known as the Melody grand.
In specifications, the new models are much like
the original instruments but are reduced in height
to four foot one inch. Inasmuch as the Gul-
bransen Co. is continuing the production of both
lines in the two sizes it has been deemed advis-
able to rename the smaller size models in order
to avoid confusion and to give each of these pianos
a distinct individuality.
An interesting point in connection with these
new designations is that the Autograph Model
Registering piano will actual have an autographed
statement signed by A. G. Gulbransen on each
piano.
BUFFALO, N. Y., December 19.—The merger of

more, N. Y., has just been announced and will
become effective at once. The new firm will
be known as Goold Bros., Inc., and George A.
Goold will continue as president of the con-
