new business is only temporarily housed in the Laven-

that the demand among violin pupils, teachers and
players of that instrument was so insistent that she
rushed in a line of goods in order to accommodate
them immediately. Miss Fredrick intends to occupy
larger quarters at an early date. Miss Fredrick an-

Good Way to Start New Year.
A good preparation for the business of the new
year is providing the means to preparedness. The
talking machine dealer who knows where he can
quickly replace a necessary phonograph part in the
shortest possible time has the power to serve his
repair trade. That phase of the talking machine
deaier's business is continually becoming of greater
importance, so that preparedness really consists in
the ability to procure needed parts of superior quality
with a minimum of delay.
That is why the talking machine dealer should start
the new year possessing the new descriptive catalog
of the Specialties Phonograph & Accessories Co., 210
and 212 East 113th street, New York. The company
manufacturers "Specialty Brand" products, necessary
to the dealer ambitious to serve the repair wants of
the phonograph owners. The "Specialty Brand"
products include main springs, motors and all repair
parts and superior quality is a characteristic of every
commodity. The descriptive catalog and price list of
the company is of great interest and value to every
dealer.
