winning tone for which Mr. Haddorff has been striv-

small grand could produce a large volume of really
musical tone; he has succeeded even beyond his best
hopes. The small Haddorff grand is the result.
Of course, the average dealer is most attracted

call a high figure, but it is usually sold at a price so
moderate that the public buys readily with the full
knowledge that the purchase is one of special oppor-
tunity.
Haddorff pianos long ago won their place among
the fine instruments. They are sold by the very best
class of houses, and they are promoted as leaders.
They are sold for just what they are, and no dealer
ever expects to find them in competition with any
but the highest grades. Nevertheless, the dealer is
usually surprised to find that he can handle even the
Haddorff on terms that insure just what he is in
business for—profit and the kind of satisfaction that
builds business.
This new small Haddorff possesses several unique
features peculiar to itself. It is a rarely beautiful
piano. It is an instrument of remarkable power and
clarity of tone. There are no blemishes in the nius'-
cal scale. Tt satisfies the most exacting. Added to
this, the new small Haddorff at once suggests what
it is—a substantial "aristocrat" of a piano. Mr.
Haddorff and the Haddorff Piano Co. have created
another triumph, and it is natural that they should
be proud of it, as are also the travelers who repre-
sent the big industry at Rockford, 111., and find a
ready reception in the stores where good instruments
are sold.

suggested that were the late Alfred Dolge still alive,
in the interests of the instruments from Rockford,
he would now be sounding its praises in his peculiarly
scientific and forceful manner. For the little Had-
dorff is in every sense a remarkable instrument. It
has already made an impress upon the trade, and
with the piano-buying public. And the reasons are
not hard to find.
In the first place, the case design is distinctive.

STRAUBE PIANO CO., Hammond, Ind.
POPULAR WILL L. BUSH
CREATES A FINE FLAPPER
Pushing Piano Man of Chicago and Dallas Designs a
Beauty in Statuary.
The race of Kupos, good luck images and the like
has a rival in which there is real art. It is the cre-
ation of Will L. Bush's active mind. That gentleman
thought of a new statuette, fit for any place in office
or home, and secured the best sculptor available to
make the model of the new "Flapper," which will
eventually be found in practically art stores and else-
where.
The 'Flapper" is produced in plain white plastic
and also decorated with colors. It is as natural as
life, and the effect upon the eye is really charming.
Fortunes have been made with miniature figures pre-
senting much less merit.
Mr. Bush was in New York and Chicago recently
and displayed samples of the "Flapper," of which he
will soon be producing great quantities. He also
spoke, with his usual enthusiasm, of trade conditions
in Texas.
Mr. Bush has succeeded in building a great busi-
ness in Dallas. His general music house there would
be a credit to the largest city in the nation, and it is
doing an astonishingly large business. And the in-
genuity by which Mr. Bush has wrought his near-
mirables in the Texas music trade have scarcely been
equalled in any other city than Dallas. During his
brief stay in the North Mr. Bush p'aced large orders
for pianos, and he went South again on Saturday last,
having accomplished a great deal of business in
several cities, including, of course, New York and
Chicago.
The "Flapper," by the way. has been celebrated in
song. Scores of verses were written by contestants
for the honor of writing the best "Flapper" song, and
the winner's production will be published by the Bush
& Gerts Piano Co. of Texas.
EXPANDS IN CINCINNATI.
The George P. Gross Co., 1324 and 1328 Main
street, Cincinnati, has purchased the intervening
store, 1326, and purposes extending its music busi-
ness. The house carries pianos, players, reproducing
pianos, Seeburg automatic pianos and musical mer-
chandise.
A CHICKERING AMPICO.
Among the sales the last week by the G. F. John-
son Piano Company, Portland, Ore., was an Ampico
in a Chickering grand, which was installed in one of
Portland's homes on Portland Heights. The sale
was for $4,000.
