The above reproduction of a page from the "Gep-
po," published in Tokio by Sale & Frazar, shows
how the "Matchless Milton" is carrying the message
of American music around the globe. Sale & Frazar
are the Japanese representatives of the Milton Piano
Company and the above ad. occupies page 9 of the
magazine, and can readily be found by counting
from the back page forward, in the manner of the
Nipponese. The type matter at the top and right
side of the page, as will be readily noted by the
reader, pays a high tribute to the excellence of the
Milton instruments.
OPEN AIR ORGAN IN
CALIFORNIA RED WOODS
played on by Una Waldore and Professor Tilton.
The organ is completely enclosed in a concrete
chamber with a canvas and metal drop over the
front, and when played can be heard at a very
considerable distance through the forest.
Byron Mauzy Helps at Dedication While His
Shop Superintendent Makes Trip Through
Southern Part of State.
Harry Pierce, superintendent of the shop of Byron
Mauzy, San Francisco, Cal., is making a vacation
trip through the southern part of the state with an
itinerary which includes Paso Robles, Santa Bar-
bara, Los Angeles, Bakerslield and Fresno. On this
trip Mr. Pierce will call on the Southern California
Music Company, Fitzgerald Music Company, and
Hockett-Bristol & Cowan, all of Los Angeles, and
take up with them the matter of Ampico service,
with the desire to ascertain to what extent they
furnish service and also if there are any new ideas
to be learned in the method of repairing Ampicos
with which he is not familiar in San Francisco.
Mr. Pierce is a pneumatic engineer, having spent
a great number of years with the J. W. Jenkins
Sons' Music Co., in Kansas City, and Sherman &
Clay Co., San Francisco, and is a pioneer in the
pneumatic field, having been credited with the in-
vention which is now marketed as the Solo Carola.
He is making this trip in his machine accompanied
by his family and expects to be gone ten days to
two weeks. During his absence, James C. Aber,
his assistant, is taking charge of the shop, which is
running without interruption.
Byron Mauzy made a visit to the natural redwood
grove at Monte Rio, Cal., July 10. to be on hand
for the dedication of a new $10,000 open-air organ.
Mr. Shoernstein, who erected the organ for the
Austin Organ Company, pressed Mr. Mauzy into
service in assisting him in tuning, his helper having
left him in the lurch. The organ was opened and
dedicated by Samuel D. Mayer, 50 years organist
for the Grand Lodge of California and dean of the
organists of that organization, after which it was
VIENNA'S MUSICIANS DESTITUTE.
Hon. Frederick Courtland Pen field, former ambas-
sador to Austria-Hungary, has received urgent ap-
peals for food from musicians, music schools and so-
cieties in Vienna. A dispatch tells of an American
leather buyer who hired a quintet from a Viennese
symphony orchestra for the entire evening at a cost
of less than $2.50 American money. Musicians are
numbered among the most desperately poor of the
stricken capital by the blue Danube. The American
Relief Committee for Sufferers in Austria, 261 Madi-
son avenue, New York, of which Mr. Penfield is
honorary chairman, has created a special fund for
the relief of destitute musicians of Vienna. Every
do'lar contributed for that purpose will be so applied,
without any deduction whatever for overhead ex-
penses.
STRONG SALES FORCE.
Luigi Gallina, manager of the piano department of
Byron Mauzy, San Francisco, Calif., has added to
his force of salesmen Ralph J. Stine, formerly of
the Platt Music Company, Los Angeles, and now
has a most complete sales force made up of the fol-
lowing: W. J. Sanchez, Alfred Batkin and Ralph J.
Stine. A better combination of live.Vovmg. enthusi-
astic salesmen was never assembled together in San
Francisco, in the opinion of the enthusiastic man-
The Western Union Telegraph Company has an-
nounced that it will have direct communication estab-
lished between Chicago and Buenos Aires shortly.
Most of a 7,000 mile line has been laid. New cable
is to be put in from Miami, Fla., to the Isle of Bar-
badoes in the West Indies and thence to Maranhao,
Brazil, connecting there with land lines. The cable
to be laid totals 3,000 miles.
