perfected and will shortly put on the market
a new and novel phonograph for the home which
is fully automatic and selective, and is equipped
with a selective remote control. The phono-
graph plays twenty selections of music, the rec-
ords being chosen and played in any order
desired—either side—or repeated without the
slightest attention on the part of the owner.
By pressing a button on the selective remote
control it is possible to have any record of
the series played as desired while the operator
is seated at a distance from the instrument.
The remote control feature is the product of
the company's own laboratories. The Automa-
tic Musical Instrument Co. has been engaged
in the production of and operation of selective
automatic instruments, over a period of nine-
attractive in design and can be conveniently
placed in any part of the home.
Should music be desired with the evening
meal the remote control is placed upon the
dining table; the owner selects the desired
number of musical selections from the program,
presses the buttons and then the music plays.
The volume is controlled by a knob which is
located on the remote control board. A cancel
button is placed on the remote control which
may be used at will for cancelling any and all
selections as desired.
The phonograph itself possesses tonal qual-
ities fully in keeping with modern standards,
reproducing the entire musical scale with a bass
in true proportion to the higher tone. It is
possible to regulate the volume at will.

PORTLANII, OKK., May 11.—The bankrupt stock of
the G. V. Johnson Piano Co., of this city was
awarded to C. B. Sampson, prominent music
merchant of Boise, Idaho, over six other com-
petitive bids. The inventory by the adjustment
bureau placed the stock at $38,945, which in-
cluded stock, furniture, fixtures and equipment,
but not the accounts or contracts. Mr. Samp-
son took immediate charge of the store at 410
Morrison street and placed the goods on sale,
opening the doors to the general public today,
with drastic reductions quoted for a quick
cleanup. Mr. Sampson is Idaho's most promi-
nent music merchant, having a chain of stores
in Idaho towns with the main headquarters in
Boise. When asked if he would set up a busi-
ness in Portland, he said: "No, it's too far
away from my headquarters in Boise, and I
had better let well enough alone." W. C.
Carnes aided in its disposal.
