MERILYN MILLER'S UNIQUE TESTIMONIAL
Money Plentiful There and Customers Easily Inter-
ested If Properly Approached, Says Dealer.
To sell eleven pianos between Friday morning
and 11 o'clock Saturday night is only an ordinary
week's end work for Frank M. Reed of the Reed-
French Co., Portland, Ore., who disclaimed having
done any particularly big business in accomplishing
the sales. "People are well supplied with money
and when they find what legitimate bargains we have
to offer they are willing to buy," said Mr. Reed.
Two Portland, Ore., visitors; this, week were!
Messrs. Lacy and Cline of the Lacy & Cline Music
Co., of Astoria, Oregon. Business is fine in that
city, a big fish catch contributing largely to the suc-
cess of trade. Astoria is the biggest fishing town in
the United States.
An order for a big supply of popular music was
sent by Louis Mack of Mack's Music Store, Port-
land, Ore., to the Schrimer Publishing Co. of New
York in anticipation of a big tourist trade this sum-
mer. In order to reduce freight charges Mr. Mack
ordered it sent by steamer from New York. It left
that city on May 4, but at present writing has not
yet arrived.
Philip M. Hicks, who has been with the McDougal
Music Co., Portland, Ore., is now in the band instru-
ment department of the G. F. Johnson Piano Co.
Mr. Hicks says he is a great admirer of the Martin
products, which are sold exclusively in this territory
by the G. F. Johnson Co.
PLANS FOR SECOND
MILWAUKEE CONVENTION
Trade Association in the Lively Wisconsin City
Starts Preparation for Big Events.
The second annual convention of the music trades
of Wisconsin will be held in Milwaukee on Wednes-
day, Sept. 1, during State Fair Week, according to a
decision made by the board of directors of the Wis-
consin Association of Music Industries at a special
meeting at the offices of President Richard H. Zinke,
425 Milwaukee street, on June 4. The directors were
called together to make plans for a vigorous prose-
cution of organizational activities, which have been
somewhat quiet since the resignation of C. L. Den-
nis, secretary and treasurer.
The board was reorganized to some extent to fill
a number of other vacancies. Ralph E. Wilson, of
Oshkosh, second vice-president, resigned because of
ill-health, which has made it necessary for him to
be away from his business for at least six months.
Edward R. Sweeney, head of the Badger Music
Shop, Fond du Lac, Wis., was elected to succeed
him.
Fred Leithold of La Crosse, Wis., a director, was
promoted to first vice-president, succeeding Albert
When the Ziegfield Follies of 1919 played an en-
engagement recently in Cincinnati Miss Marilyn
Miller of that combination of beauty and musical
merriment, was asked by The Rodolph Wurlitzer
Company to pose for the photograph from which
the accompanying illustration was made.
Miss
Miller is seated at the Apollophone, which had al-
ways won her enthusiastic favor and of which she
instantaneously wrote the commendatory note
which appears, in her own handwriting, on the pho-
tograph itself, and reads as follows:
I think this a most wonderful instrument.
Sincerely,
MARILYN MILLER, Ziegfeld Follies of 1919.
Not only is the picture an attractive one, but it
presents a strong influence in the testimonal paid
to the Apollophone by the popular young actress,
and singer.
E. Smith, of Madison. A. B. Meagher, of the Forbes-
Meagher Music Co., Madison, was added to the
board of directors.
The offices held jointly by Mr. Dennis were sep-
arated, and Leonard E. Meyer of Milwaukee was
elected secretary, and Charles J. Orth, treasurer.
F. E. Macarty was appointed assistant secretary and
treasurer. Miss Macarty is secretary of the R. H.
Zinke Music CcX; of which the president of the State
association is head.
Lambert Gronier of Lancaster, Wis., and Adam J.
Schneider of Kenosha, Wis., are the other members
of the board of directors, numbering seven, includ-
ing the officers.
By authority of the members given at the first
annual convention held Sept. 10, 1919, in Milwaukee,
the board adopted a constitution and by-laws. Presi-
dent Zinke expects to call the board together for
another meeting before the general meeting of mem-
bers, probably late in July or early in August.

OUR TIMBER IS GOING.
Secretary Meredith reported to the Senate at
Washington by letter last week that three-fifths of
the original timber in the United States is gone. He
says we are using our timber four times as fast as
we are growing it. There are now left in the United
States only 2,215,000,000 feet of timber.
