TRADE INCIDENTS IN
THE CALIFORNIA FIELD
ESTABLISHED 1854
Interesting Items From All Over the State
Tell of Movements of Firms' New
Locations.
Frank Crum and C. E. Whitman of Marysville,
Cal., are partners in a new music store opened last
week at 616 Montgomery street, Oroville, Cal. Mr.
Crum is a well known piano salesman and Mr. Whit-
man has had experience in the musical merchandise
field. The partners are remodeling the store and
adding generally to the attractiveness of the various
departments.
A. J. Stacy, 200 Clement street, San Francisco,
last week took over the music business of Bruce
Davis at 740 Clement street. Mr. Stacy moved his
stock to the latter address where more space is avail-
able than in his old location. It is Mr. Stacy's pur-
pose to make his line a general one. He believes
his store is in a good location in which to work up a
good neighborhood business.
The formal opening of a store in its own building
by the Chandler Music Store, Santa Ana, Cal., last
week was a pleasant mark of progress of one of the
most active firms in that section of California. The
new building of the company is a two-story structure
at 426-428 West Fourth street, considered one of the
best locations in the business part of this lively town.
The extensive alterations in the Sacramento store
of Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, will be
completed this week and the result will be a store
as attractive as any retail store in the city. The
great expansion of business in the Sacramento store
made necessary the alterations and acquisition of the
adjoining store on J street. The San Jose store of
the company has also been altered to effect greater
economy in space.
W. P. Balcom will open a first-class piano store
at Porterville, Calif., where all kinds of instruments
will be for sale.
Philip C. Wespecher recently opened a general
music store in Modesto, Calif.

Correction Due to W. C. Stewart, of Lyon & Healy
House, Is Here Gladly Presented.
The article in a recent issue of Presto calling at-
tention to the Lyon & Healy corner window display
during convention week in Chicago stated that Paul
Thistlewaite created the design. This was written in
error.
W. G. Stewart, window trimmer for Lyon & Healy,
deserves full credit for the design and the work that
produced the interesting window.
The window display was that of a full orchestra
minus the performers who had left their instruments
just where they had sat. The exhibit was not only
eye-compelling, but also instructive and to music
lovers it inevitably recalled the Disappearing
Symphony which Theodore Thomas especially made
familiar to his audiences.
