NEWS OF SMALL GOODS FIELD
Many New Names Appear in Musical Instrument
Business and Old Ones Continue in Activities.
H. F. Bailey, amateur leader of the Bippus Band
of Huntington, Ind., is an undertaker.
The Meier & Frank store, Portland, Ore., has in-
stalled a musical merchandise department.
The Manitoba Music Co. has opened a store at
344 Garry street, Winnipeg, Canada, with R. C. Perks
as manager.
The appearance recently in San Francisco eff
Sousa's Band was an advertising opportunity well
taken advantage of by dealers in C. G. Conn instru-
ments.
The new manager of the player roll department in
the Portland, Ore., branch of Sherman, Clay & Co.
is Mrs. Dorris Collins, who succeeds Mrs. Helen
Watts.
The Stayroll, a new patented device for holding
music rolls eight, is being featured by the Q R S
Music Co., Chicago.
OPENS REMODELED STORE.
M. H. House & Co.. Williamsport, Pa., recently
opened a new store at 141 to 143 West Fourth street.
The building has been remodeled and a large show
window is one of the improvements. Two large
warerooms and ten demonstration rooms of the
modern type make buying pleasant for the customers
of this energetic company. A repair department is
one of the features of the remodeled store.
GOOD BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
Frank Meter, head of the stool and scarf depart-
ment of Lyon & Healy, Chicago, has just returned
from an extended trip through the South. He re-
ports good business all throughout that section. A
decided buoyancy of spirit was in evidence on the part
of the leading houses and it seemed to be the general
opinion that the present year would prove a profit-
able one for all well established dealers.
NEW WASHBURN BANJO CATALOG.
A new catalog of Washburn banjos which is the
last word in modernity has just been issued by Lyon
