ASSOCIATION SPIRIT GROWS
Many Local Musical Merchandise Associations May
Result From the Inquiries to New York Body.
The musical merchandise dealers in every city have
an example to follow in the aims and purposes of the
Associated Musical Instrument Dealers of New York.
The object of the association, as stated in the by-
laws, "shall be to promote an interest in music, and to
develop and protect the sale of musical merchandise."
At its first meeting a resolution was adopted endors-
ing the establishment of a center of art and music
in New York City.
Groups of musical merchandise dealers in many
towns and cities have written to Secretary H. L.
Hunt for information helpful for the organizations of
a similar kind. George M. Bundy, president of the
New York association, who is traveling in the west,
has given valuable direct aid to the formation of as-
sociations in several places.

An increased liveliness in the talking machine trade
is indicated by the increase of orders for repair ma-
terials received within the past two weeks by The
Specialty Phonograph & Accessories Company, 210-
212 East 113th street, New York City. The keen
dealers who appreciate the value of preparedness
know where to replace a missing part in the shortest
possible time. The repair phase of the talking ma-
chine trade is one of great importance and one which
grows every day.
It is a good reason why the dealer should have to
his hand the latest catalog and price list of the Spe-
cialty Phonograph & Accessories Company, which
manufacturers "Specialty Brand" products including
main springs and motors and all repair parts the
dealer is likely to be asked for. Superior quality is a
characteristic of every article sold by the company.

Warrants were issued last week in Chicago for
Edward Snyder and James Stewart, "radio engineers,"
who recently abandoned a stock in trade that con-
sisted of one radio set and an assortment of "come-
on" letters and left their office to a hundred or more
victims.
Snyder and Stewart advertised extensively in a
Chicago newspaper that they would deliver a "five-
tube set for $125 on easy payments—$15 down and
$10 a week." And to show their good faith they ac-
cepted numerous first payments. But they failed to
deliver any sets.
When investigators called both promoters of the
scheme had disappeared and the clamor outside their
office at 128 Xorth Wells street had become so loud
that the police acted. Snyder's wife was found at
6243 Grace street. She said she did not know what
had become of her husband.
Detectives sought in vain for the radio schemers
after a score of complaints had been made. Dealers
also are warned that they may be made victims of
fake radio "industries."
RADIO "MUSICAL INSTRUMENT."
Probably the first house to advertise radio as a
"musical instrument" is The Cable Piano Co., of Chi-
cago, which great concern last Sunday announced the
"Zenith" under that head. The ad was a good one,
running the announcement in the same line with the
fact that "Cable's is the Home of the celebrated
Mason & Hamlin."
The Cline Music Store is preparing to move to new
quarters at 126 West Main street, Staunton, Va. The
concern is now located on South New street. The
building to which the concern will move is now being
remodeled.
