STRADIVARA DEALERS MEET
Representatives of the Phonograph from All Over
the Northwest Form Association.
Last week was buyers' week in Portland, Ore.,
and nearly 2,000 merchants from Oregon and Wash-
ington were in the city as the guests of the Portland
business men.
Among the number were a considerable number
of Stradivara phonograph dealers from the north-
west. During the week a number of special meet-
ings were held by them and as a result a Stradivara
fraternity was formed. The purpose of this organ-
ization will be for co-operation between the dealers
for the purpose of increasing the sale of the instru-
ments.
• At a meeting held last Thursday in the Rose Room
of the Multnomah hotel, where a large display of
Stradivaras were on hand, the fraternity was formed,
upon their return from an inspection tour to the
Stradivara factory at East Thirty-third and Broad-
way. At a meeting a luncheon was served the visi-
tors.
KEEP THEM MOVING.
A publisher recently asked the question in a pop-
ular journal, "Where are the English songs?" Well,
they are mostly in the post, of course, traveling be-
tween the composers' residences and those of the
publisher.—The Musician.
J. H. Howenstein, of Lyon & Healy's retail piano
department, Chicago, is on a vacation.
