W. P. H. Bacon, of the Bacon Piano Co.,
Named as One of the Governors of the New
Organization
Wm. P. H. Bacon, of the Bacon Piano Co., is
named as one of the twenty-five governors of
the One Hundred Year Club of New York in
the incorporation papers of that organization
filed recently. The club is made up of busi-
ness houses of New York which were
established one hundred years ago or more and
are still active, and its purpose is to "preserve,
foster and "perpetuate the worthy tradition and
high ideals of business and professional life of
the City of New York, co-operate with the
newer generation of businessmen in New York,
and establish closer intercourse between its
members."
"Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grew"
DENVER, COLO., December 26.— Denver musical
instrument dealers report a very good holiday
trade. While actual figures are not as yet at
hand, it is the opinion of most of the Denver
musical instrument men that this year's busi-
ness exceeded the holiday business of 1927.
Clarence Campbell, president of the Knight-
Campbell Music Co.; A. E. Cox, president of
the Denver Music Co., and Russell Wells, o'
the C. E. Wells Music Co., three of Denver's
largest .musical instrument houses, predict that
1929 will be a good year for their line of in-
dustry. They base their prediction on the fact
that business in general is good in Denver at
the present time, and the record farm crops
harvested in the State this Fall have been the
means of placing a lot of money into circula-
tion in this section, and all lines of business
will receive their share during the coming
months of the new vear.
Heads Radio Department
C. M. Pearson, for eleven years with the Co-
lumbia Stores Co., Denver, Col., and at onetime
head of the phonograph and radio department
of the Denver Dry Goods Co., recently assumed
his new duties as head of the radio department
of the B. K. Sweeney Electrical Co., Denver.
A branch of the Des Moines Piano Co. has
been established in Rock Rapids, la.

How a Progressive Music House Told the Public of Its Long and Successful Record in Business
\ \ 7 I T H the coming of 1929 the Kieselhorst
V
* Co., of 1007 Olive street, St. Louis, Mo.,
of which K. A. Kieselhorst is the energetic head,
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the
establishment of the business by J. A. Kiesel-
liorst, who at the outset and for many years
confined himself to the selling of pianos.
The company has not hesitated to tell the
people of St. Louis of its long service to the
music-loving public, and only recently ran a
special advertisement in the local newspapers
calling attention to the lines of pianos, phono-
graphs, radios and combinations handled. In
it there was reproduced, by way of contrast,
one of the advertisements run in the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch by the founder of the business
in 1882.
Music Trades' Diary and
Year Book for 1929 Issued
The Music Trades Diary, Directory and Year
Book for 1929 has just been issued by G. D.
Ernest & Co., Ltd., London, E. C, publishers of
the Music Trades Review of London. In ad-
dition to the diary itself, which should prove
most convenient, the volume contains much
general information of distinct value to the
music tradesman, including a directory of the
British music trades, a schedule of duties on
musical instruments imported into various
countries, general facts regarding the copy-
right and higher purchase laws, figures on im-
ports and exports, and other material of a
pertinent nature. The directory is sent post-
paid throughout Great Britain for 2s. 6d. and
abroad 3s. for cloth binding and 2s. and 2s. 6d.
respectively for paper cover.

This latest Kieselhorst advertisement is re-

a lengthy article of the long and successful
career of this concern. There are many old-
established houses in the music trade—houses
that are still ^oin^ and growing, but even so
there are few that can point in their advertis-
ing to the record of the present generation in
upholding the ideals and policies of the founder.

The Sherman, Clay & Co. branch in Modesto,
Cal., has been moved from 914 to 934 Eleventh
street, that city, where larger quarters are avail-
able. P. L. Currie is the manager.
The Hushwick Music Store, 998 Flushing

by Tilli Hardi and others.
