Nothing in this week's trade news gives greater
satisfaction than the understanding that H. Edgar
French, of the Jesse French & Sons Piano Co., New
Castle, Indiana, has returned to his former work and
responsibilities, as manager of the industry at New
Castle, Indiana. It has been his purpose to again

is assured the dealer who takes advantage of
THE BALDWIN CO-OPERATION PLAN
which offers every opportunity to represent
under the most favorable conditions a com-
plete line of high grade pianos, players and
reproducers.
For information writt
This is a most impor-
tant question for you.
Because Conn repre-
sentation means profits
and prestige.
It means profits because
the lively demand for
Conn instruments is
constantly being in-
creased by our national
advertising — the most
extensive and intensive
campaign ever con-
ceived for band and
orchestra instruments.
It means prestige be-
cause Conn leadership
is acknowledged by the
world's greatest artists
—and this leadership
naturally falls to the
dealer who is able to
offer these superior in-
struments.

tails for our propo-
sition for dealers
and information on
available territory.

assume the work which he so successfully carried for-
ward before going to Texas nearly two years ago.
He has had all the rest he feels he needed, and is in
better shape to resume the task in which he takes
delight than ever before.
For some time past the general management of the
Jesse French & Sons Piano Co. has been in charge
of S. E. Secoy, a piano man of experience, who will
now retire from the New Castle industry. Mr. Secoy
leaves with the regret of President Jesse French
and associates, but with H. Edgar French again "on
deck" things will move on smoothly and Mr. Secoy
will find opportunity for his energies elsewhere. He
already has several propositions under consideration.
H. Edgar French, as need scarcely be said here, is
a thorough piano man. He was almost literally
"brought up" in the business, and, before his sojourn
in the South he had charge of all details of the big
factory at New Castle. He has a great many warm
friends in the trade, and he is known personally to
a good proportion of the dealers who make a spe-
cialty of the line of instruments from New Castle.
He will take hold of the business with renewed vigor
and with the same enthusiasm which marked his ad-
ministration in former years.
The Jesse French & Sons Piano Co. is to be con-
gratulated on the return of the former manager, and,
while in the going of Mr. Secoy a good man is lost
to the industry, the effects of that gentleman's work
remain. The many-sidedness of H. Edgar French,
including his literary attainments, enable him to ad-
dress the trade effectively and to produce trade
propaganda of value to every dealer in the instru-
ment from New Castle. He has expressed himself as
having a number of new ideas to submit, and to have
been for some time restless to "get back into harness"
again.
Business with the Jesse French & Sons Piano Co. is
unusually brisk this fall. Orders have been coming
in from dealers not only throughout this country, but
the export demand has also been good. President
Jesse French's recent extended tours have also helped
to stimulate the demand, and things could not look
better for the big New Castle industry than they do
at this time.
