COINOLAS
FOR
RESTAURANTS, CAFES and
AMUSEMENT CENTERS
IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH]
Small Goods Sales Particularly Lively There, Ac-
cording to Report of O'Loughlin Music Co.
The small goods business in Salt Lake City, Utah,
is very good, the sales running ahead of those of the
corresponding period a year ago. "The sales results
for January have set a good pace to follow," said
E. S. Hughes, manager of the small goods depart-
ment of the O'Loughlin Music Co. this week.
A pleasant feature of the business is the favor of
customers for the better grades of merchandise, ac-
cording to Mr. Hughes. The tendency of customers
is to select banjos of a higher quality and price than
heretofore.
Mr. Hughes is widely known in the music trade
on account of his successful activities in boosting the
ukulele. Himself a wonderful performer on the little
stringed instrument, he imparted his enthusiasm to
successive classes whose training he undertook.

SOME SUBSTITUTE FOR "JIMMY"
New Tone-Sensitive Safe Lock That Opens Only to
a Tuning Fork.
British burglars armed with tuning forks instead
of the old-fashioned "jimmy" and blow-torch is a
vision of the future suggested by an invention on
view in Birmingham, England. The contrivance can
be fitted to safe's doors and locks, and will open only
when the correct note is sung.
If the instrument is tuned to A flat, and a burglar-
basso sings A sharp at it, nothing will happen. The
cracksman will have to get out his tuning fork and
p;et the precise notes before the delicate mechanism
of the lock will react to his tones.
BUILDS UP SAXOPHONE TRADE.
The C. W. Copp Music House, 228 South Michigan
avenue. South Bend, Iud., has built up an unusually
good saxophone business by aggressive methods and
a keen knowledge of the market. The house main-
tains a close contact with South Bend musicians.
There are a great many good orchestras now playing
in that city and most of them have been equipped
by the Copp store. Copp's recently published a saxo-
phone advertising circular under the title of "Har-
monies."
BUYS SMALL GOODS STOCK.
W r alter Blackwell, of the Tri-State Talking Ma-
chine Co., El Paso, Tex., recently took over the stock
of the Music Store there, including its small goods
department, which the Tri-State concern will handle
in the future. The piano stock of the Music Store
has been purchased by W. R. Shutes' El Paso Piano
Co.
MOVES IN HANFORD, CAL.
G. M. Florey, Hanford, Cal., recently moved his
music store to 213 North Douty street, and alterations
were made to prepare the store for the new business.
A record demonstrating room and mezzanine floor in
the rear were among improvements installed. Mr.
Florey has been located there for many years.
