Reconstructed Store Has Every Effective Modern
Aid to Pleasant Music Goods Selling.
The Humes Music Company, Columbus, Ga., has
occupied the reconstructed building in which con-
siderably more room has been acquired than was
available before the tire which damaged it a few
months ago. Several changes have been made in the
arrangement of the space.
On the first floor is the talking machine department
and in it the newest method of demonstration has
been adopted. Band instruments and small goods
generally are also shown on this floor. A new fea-
ture of the business is the sheet music department,
which is also on the first floor.
Pianos, players and reproducing pianos are shown
on the second floor, which besides the main ware-
room, contains five special display rooms for grands
and reproducing pianos.
The third floor is given over to the recital hall
which associates the Humes Music Company 1 with
musical effort in Columbus. In its reconstructed
form the hall has been given the most desirable
acoustic properties which make it desirable for all
forms of musical entertainment.
