amount of money it will earn when used on a coin

Judging by the number of voluntary commenda-
tions received from users of these famous rolls, there
is a "something" in Clark Orchestra Rolls that tickles
the public palate.
RADIO HAND-ORGAN APPEARS.
The piano-organ wheeled about on the streets of
London as the hand-organ is in New York has met
a competitor. Considerable amusement has been
caused in the streets of London by the appearance
of a man, a donkey and an old piano-organ case
mounted on wheels. Above the old case extend two
uprights about four feet high, and from them arc
stretched four wires, the antenna for the radio set
which has replaced the organ, in the antique case.
Hanging from the side nearest the curb are four
sets of phones, and for 2 cents anybody can listen
in to the concerts picked up from station 2LO and
other broadcasting stations throughout the British
Isles. The novelty is labeled "Radio Barrel Organ."
NEW LYON & HEALY MANAGER.
C. H. Flint, the new manager of the musical mer-
chandise department of Lyon & Healy, Inc., Chi-
cago, is well known in Chicago business circles as a
man of great originality as well as activity in his
sales methods. He was formerly sales manager of
the American Chicle Co. Mr. Flint's predecessor in
the small goods managership, E. J. Exter, has been
appointed Lyon & Healy representative in special
work on the Pacific Coast.
NEW PIANO REPAIR COMPANY.
The new firm of Roeslcr-Hunholz, Inc., 133 Second
street, Milwaukee, Wis., was recently organized to
specialize in the repairing, rebuilding and tuning of
pianos and playerpianos. Fred W. Roesler is presi-
dent and Elmer H. Hunholz, secretary and general
manager. Both have long and valuable experience in
the rebuilding and refinishing of pianos and installing
player and reproducing actions.
