Mr. and Mrs. Graham Buy
Harmony House, Carmel r (al.
The Harmony House in Carmel, Cal.
was purchased last month from Bartley
Sims by Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Gra-
with the Denver Music Co. in Denver,
Colo., selling Mason & Hamlin pianos,
and later becoming associated with the
Knight Campbell Co. and the Chas. E.
Wells Music Co. where she managed
their sheet music department. From there
Modern store of Graham Music Co., Carmel, Cal.
ham of San Diego, Cal. Mr. Graham is
a former life insurance general agent,
and Mrs. Graham is the former Irene
Mitchell who is well-known in the music
world. She started her career in music
she went to the Thearle Music Co. of
San Diego, Cal. where she manged the
sheet music and gift department. After
the war, she became associated with the
Finder Musir Co. of San Diego, where
she also managed the sheet music and
record department.
The new business is operated under
the name of the Graham Music Co. and
it is located in one of the most attractive
music stores on the Pacific slope, which
was only opened last November.
The Mason & Hamlin, Knabe, Story &
Clark and Winter & Co. pianos are
handled as well as the Hammond organ
and the Solovox.
Regarding the future of the company,
Mr. Graham stated: "In addition to the
present lines of merchandise it is our
intention to add radios, records, radio
combinations and sheet music, making
this store the outstanding music store
on the Monterey Peninsula."
Carmel is a quaint village where the
annual music festival is held, and where
according to Mr. Graham, the very air
spells musical culture. In fact, he says,
"They do not allow any trees to be
taken from the streets, and no sidewalks
are allowed except that they may be
laid without interference with the nat-
ural beauty of nature." As a feature of
their opening, the Graham Music Co.
had Paul Clark Stauffer, San Diego
piano teacher of note, and past presi-
dent of the California Music Teachers
Association, address the newly-formed
