my word that Mr. Schiebe makes the little discs
of glass for the keys of a large share of the
typewriters used to carry on the world's daily
grind of business and literatoor—and that runs
the count into millions.
Music has an important place in Mr. Schiebe's
factory. Himself a patron of music and an
amateur flute player, Mr. Schiebe maintains an
orchestra among his employes, with rehearsals
and concerts during noon hours, and after
hours as well. To supply music during work-
ing hours a high-grade radio receiving set was
installed in the factory, with most gratifying
results. "W« are able to have an almost con-
tinuous musical program," said Mr. Schiebe,
"and the effect upon the spirits of the workers
and their speed and efficiency is quite remark-
able. As most of the employes are on piece-
work, they not only enjoy the music, but they
can see its beneficial effect in their pay envel-
opes, and there is immediate protest if, for any
reason, the music stops."
A smart dealer in the Boston section heard
of the niusic-while-you-work idea, and induced
the manager of a small factory to install a talk-
ing machine of up-to-date model as an experi-
ment. Within three weeks the machine was
purchased, and an arrangement for a "circulat-
ing library" of records was made. This dealer
has in process several variations of the plan,
which bid fair to result in considerable good
business. The talking machine is proving ex-
ceptionally satisfactory in that music that is
most suitable be always on tap.
Melville Clark Presents
Old Harp to Henry Ford
Melville Clark, president of the Clark Music
Co., Syracuse, N. Y., and a recognized authority
on the harp, has presented to Henry Ford, for
the latter's collection of musical instruments in
his museum at Dearborn, Mich., the Marie An-
toinette Harp which was made in 1720 by Nau-
derman in Paris.
Mr. Clark took the harp to Detroit personally
to present it to Mr. Ford and played several
selections for Mr. Ford and his friends. There
are three harps of the same sort in America,
one owned by J. Pierpont Morgan and the other
by the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
"Fine Old Violins"
We have just received from abroad an
unusually interesting collection of medium
priced old violins—Italian, German, Bo-
hemian, Austrian and French makes.
