In a deal closed last week, William S. Burridge
disposed of his interest in the Art Novelty company,
Goshen, Ind., manufacturer* of piano benches, etc.,
to his partners, Woodson V. E. Messick and Elmer
E. Shoup, of Goshen. Mr. Burridge has been active
manager of the concern, Mr. Messick devoting his
time to traveling as general salesman and Mr. Shoup
being in the mechanical department. Mr. Burridge
returned to Goshen several years ago from Dixon,
111., and South Bend. His future plans are unsettled,
but he will probably leave the city to engage in
manufacturing.
CONCERT AND DANCE TO
REWARD THE CUSTOMERS
Lamb's Music House, Pottstown, Pa., Decides to
Repeat a Popular Feature.
Lamb's Music House, Pottstown, Pa., has de-
cided to repeat the concert and dance recently suc-
cessfully given by the company. Lamb's Concert
Orchestra has been engaged for the twentieth anni-
versary sale during which a free ticket for the con-
cert and dance will be given to every purchaser.
The event will be held at the Armory on King's
street, October 11.
"Our music house has now reached the second
decade of business with a reputation equaled by
none," says an announcement of the firm this week.
"Our immense sales qualify us for buying in large
quantities such as pianos and players in carload
lots, which of course demands the best prices
at the least expense, besides thousands of other mus-
ical goods in the very largest quantities, such as
player rolls."
The Pottstown firm represents the Stultz &
Bauer, Weaver, York and other fine pianos and
players.
An excellent result on sales is noted by the J. N.
Robins Piano Co., Columbus, O., which the com-
pany says is traceable to the publicity and demon-
strations which characterized the activities of the
company during the recent fair in that city.
