KNIGHT-CAMPBELL CO.
HAS GOLDEN JUBILEE
Widely Known Music House in Western
States Celebrates Fiftieth Year in Busi-
ness With Special Sale.
The Knight-Campbell Music Co., Denver, Colo.,
now celebrating its golden jubilee exemplifies the
triumphs of adherence to ambitious principles. The
event is celebrated in the main store in Denver and
all of its branch stores with a special sale that extends
to all the commodities in a varied line of music
goods.
The company was established in 1874 in a little
store on Larimer street where pianos and organs
were stocked in a modest way. Provided with a field
of great possibilities the business grew with the pass-
ing of every year. Never ending industry and square
dealing were the watchwords and their effects have
proved talismanic.
From the little store on Larimer street the Knight-
Campbell Music Co. has arrived to the position of one
of the leading music houses of America. In Denver
it occupies a six-story retail establishment and a five-
story wholesale warehouse. In addition there are
branches of the Knight-Campbell Music Co., scattered
over several states. In Pueblo, Colorado Springs and
Cheyenne are great retail stores which carry immense
stocks of music goods.
The representative Denver house carries the Stein-
way, Packard, Miessner and Brambach pianos and the
Duo-Art in Steinway, Stroud, Weber, Aeolian and
Steck.
A SUCCESSFUL STORE.
The Budrik Music House, 3343 South Halsted
street, Chicago, is in its eighth year of successful
business. LTnder the management of Jos. F. Bud-
rik, the store has moved steadily forward and has
made a record of which any business might be
proud. Mr. Budrik in starting the business chose
a line of instruments which would satisfy the public
and his courteous dealings with his customers have
made his business a success. The store features the
Gulbransen Registering Piano.
BIG NEW FACTORY FOR
THE KOHLER INDUSTRIES
New York Combination of Popular Instru-
ments Will Build Giant Structure Adjoin-
ing Present Plant on West Side.
The Kohler Industries, Inc., of New York, is
about to start the erection of a new factory building
at 609-615 West Fifty-first street. The ground is
near to the present main factory of Kohler & Camp-
bell, and the new building will be a seven-story
structure of brick. There is a one-story building on
part of the land which is used for shipping purposes
and storage of advertising materials.
It is expected that the new building will be begun
the coming fall and will be completed in time for the
1925 business. The estimated cost is $300,000. It
is understood that a part of the future plans of the
Kohler Industries will be to consolidate the several
factories which now exist for the production of the
various pianos under control of that corporation. The
new factory will be one of the largest in New York.
LUMBER JOURNAL NOTES
FACT ABOUT VOSE PLANT
Grading and Finishing of the Factory Grounds Com-
mented Upon by Lumberman's Review.
LET MARTIN DEALERS TELL YOU
Their Own Convincing Story Of
PROFIT AND PLEASANT
Factory Relations.
Read what Otto A. Thoennes, manager of the Small
Goods Department of the American Beauty Music House,
Rockford, 111., says:
"We wish to take this opportunity of expressing our
appreciation of your continued co-operation which is surely
a valuable asset to any dealer. Each day we are more sold
on not only the Martin quality but also the service and co-
operation and personal contact with those in the service of
the Martin factory. You can rest assured that our efforts
are always behind Martin Instruments and if it is in our
power the name and fame of Martin 'Handcraft' Instru-
ments shall be a part of the education of every grown-up
and school boy throughout this territory."
Co-operation of the sort that means dollars and cents to
you—that sells goods, instead of advertising- that you de-
signed to unduly influence the amount of stock you carry, is
the backbone of the Martin Policy. The above letter is
typical of the manner in which the Policy works for the
Dealer.
Why not write for details of the Martin
Dealer proposition. Yours for the asking
The recent completion of the new factory of the
Vose & Sons Piano Co., Boston, was of interest to
other phases of business besides that of music. The
music dealers were interested in the acquisition of
greater facilities for making the fine line of Vose
instruments, architects in the triumphs in up-to-the-
minute construction of an industrial plant and the
great variety of trade journals recording the facts
associated with the building of the plant at Water-
town. This week the Lumberman's Review prints
the following:
"The Vose & Sons Piano Co. has just completed at
Watertown, Mass., one of the finest industrial plants
in New England. In grading and beautifying the
grounds with shrubbery and trees, one novel inno-
vation has been introduced. In one section of the
grounds thirty-six apple trees have been set out in
honor of the thirty-six employes who have been
longest with the company. Each honor man will
have the fruit produced on his own tree and the
company will apply the best orchard methods known
to bring a full crop of fruit to each tree."

The Henricks Piano Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., which re-
cently moved from 819 Liberty avenue is comfortably
settled and doing a lively business in its new location

tage by the company in the showing of pianos and

graph department are on the first floor and pianos,
players and reproducing pianos are tastefully shown
