Finished in Burl Walnut and Presenting Greater Sell-
ing Beauty Than Any Other in the Field.
The Waltham Piano Co., of Milwaukee, has en-
tered the radio supply field. The great factories
have such capacity that a comparatively small portion
of it is now being devoted to the manufacture of
Radio Cabinets of rare beauty. The radio sets are

Waltham Piano Co., and the wide favor with which
the instruments of that industry are regarded in the
trade, suggest that the new department of the big
Milwaukee factory will be a very busy one. It is
certain that merchants who are looking foe: fine
radio furniture will find it in the Waverly. The ac-
companying engraving gives an idea of the beauty of
the cabinet.
Piano dealers, and music merchants in general,
will be glad to have the information contained in this
article. They well know that, if radio is a part of
their trade, they can profit by getting in touch with
the Milwaukee industry and securing full information
concerning the Waverly Model Radio Sets. It will
require no effort to convince any prospective buyer
that the product of the Waltham Piano Co. is of the
desirable kind, and the fame of the Waltham and
Waverly pianos will easily be shared by the latter's
namesake in the radio line.
NEW YORK PIANO CLUB.
Alluring entertainment plans have been perfected
for the annual beefsteak dinner of the Piano Club of
New York to be held Saturday evening, December 8,
at the clubhouse, 137th street and Third avenue. Ac-
cording to the announcement of the committee of ar-
rangement the tickets will be limited to 150 and will
be delivered when bought. The necessity for prompt
action is obvious. Tickets may be obtained at the
clubhouse or from any member of the committee
composed of William F. Keogh, chairman; Allan B.
Lane, Harry B. Moll, Adolph Doll and F. H.
Abendschein.
RETAINS OLD FIRM NAME.
Bernard M. O'Shea, Northampton, Mass., who re-
cently took over the business of Taylor's Music
House, will continue the business under the title of
Taylor's Music House, Bernard M. O'Shea, Succes-
sor. Mr. O'Shea has been for several years pro-
prietor of White's Music Shop on Main street, having
sold out his interest in the latter store in August. He
is a veteran of the World War and well known and
popular in and about that city.
CASSEL'S NEW MUSIC STORE.
WaVerlyZWodel
known as the Waverly—a favorite name in the Wal-
tham Piano Co. trade and there are three types of
them.
These Waverly radio cabinets are the most prac-
tical, as well as the handsomest, in the market. They
are already having a good demand, and music deal-
ers who handle radio supplies will find that their
success will be enhanced by adding the sets from
Milwaukee. The Waverly radio cabinets are finished
in beautiful burl walnut, regular piano finish, and
no finer furniture is produced anywhere.
Many merchants have looked for just such cabinets
as the Waverly presents, and the reputation of the
FIRST VACATION IN TWENTY YEARS.
T. O. Boyd, for twenty years agent for the Bald-
win Piano Co. in St. Louis, left last week for an
extended vacation to Colorado and Utah. Mr. Boyd
has not been well for the past six months, and the rest
will be welcomed. His friends hope that Mr. Boyd
will be back to his post soon and enjoying perfect
health.
Have you written for the
new Miessner sales plan?
A sales plan perhaps as unique as the small upright
piano is offered by the Miessner Piano Company to all
dealers selling its instrument. This plan will in no way
in'erf ere with the regular course of your business. It's
simply a means to much bigger profits in new fields.
Write for it today and get it working for you as soon
as possible.
New dealers will be permitted to put this plan into
effect immediately.
The Miessner is the original small piano, the creation
of W. Otto Miessner, who built it for school use.
Though only 3 ft. 7 in. high, its wonderful big, full tones
brought it into demand for homes, apartments, clubs,
theaters, etc. It has proved highly profitable to deal-
ers everywhere. This one type piano claims the entire
attention of the Miessner organization. The Miessner
opens up new sales fields for the dealer and in no way
interferes with regular business as those in the market
for the small piano can be sold no other instrument.
A letter will bring complete information about this
exceptional piano and the big selling idea. May we
suggest that you write today?
