Miss Sadia Knox, the young stenographer

REED'S PIANO SALES GREW
FROM "27 TO "32
(Continued from page 4)
"When the whole state is being covered
like this, it can readily be seen that a huge
business increase is inevitable.
"During this trying period, it is my opin-
ion that if music dealers will work harder
than ever before, and keep their overhead
down as low as possible, a successful sur-
vival of the depression will be assured."
Mr. Reed opened his store in 1927. He is
now averaging $100,000 a year, and because
of his hard work, extra effort, and keeping
his expenses down to rock bottom, the de-
pression is having practically no effect.
Previously to opening his own business,
Mr. Reed was connected with the Hollen-
berge Music Company of Little Rock.
He has been in the piano business for
thirty years in Camden and Little Rock. Mr.
Reed is an exclusive Baldwin Merchant,
handling nothing but pianos.
EXECUTOR REFUSED A PIANO
SO REMOVAL IS ASKED
Because the First National Bank of Hart-
ford, Conn., refused to provide funds for the
purchase of a grand piano, the three chil-
dren of Earl Harrison Hotchkiss, of Granby,
Conn., sought the bank's removal as guardian.
The children, Theodore, 5; Ivan, 10; and
Patricia, 12, inherited $150,000.
MISS SADIA KNOX
piano from the Altenberg Piano Co., of Eliz-
abeth, N. J., with part of the prize money.
Miss Knox has been studying music since
a child and what she has accomplished in •
that direction is evidenced by the fact that
she triumphed over several thousand amateur
singers taking part in the Atwater Kent
auditions. She plans to devote herself ex-
clusively to music.
The Ramp Music Store, Spokane, Wash.,
has been incorporated with capital stock of
$15,000 by George L. Allen, Ruby M. Allen
and Julius P. Steele.
