"Trade possibilities in Mexico are not at all appre-
ciated by music merchants of America," asserted F.
A. Snyder, advertising manager for the Automotive
Electric Company of Dallas, Texas, recently. The
Automotive company does an extensive jobbing busi-
ness in radio goods.
"The Mexican trade field is being well tilled by the
English, French, Spanish and Germans, but is being
sadly overlooked by Americans. Mexico is not so un-
stable as many Americans think and it is particularly
quiet at present.
"We have avoided losses from bandits by dealing
with well-established and reputable trade brokers on
the Mexican border, particularly in Eagle Pass and
Laredo, Texas. These brokers pay us cash upon
delivery of our goods at the border. In one instance
we do a round-about business by drawing our money
from a bank in Canada, but this is because we are
dealing with Englishmen. In another case a ship-
ment of our goods was intercepted by bandits and
the brokers who had ordered the goods made up
the loss for us.
"Some of the business firms in Mexico have hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in gold in their private
vaults which they keep well guarded by men pri-
vately paid. It cannot be said that Mexico does not
have the money to trade with. We plan to make
substantial increases in our business there this fall."
DEPENDABLE SCHAFF STRINGS
Product of Old Chicago Bass String Industry Found
in Most Reliable Pianos.
There are certain commodities that always come
to the mind of the piano man when he tells over
the admirable parts of a good piano. The staunch
frame, "the sounding board, the action, the felt ham-
mers and other important things, not forgetting the
bass strings. And these latter, the experienced piano
man, whether manufacturer, dealer, tuner or repair
man, concede to be of prime importance. A great
number of piano manufacturers, too, rely solely on a
bass string product and dependability of which they
have proved in what might be called a lifetime of
testing.
Such a bass string product is that of the Schaff
Piano String Co., 2009 to 2021 Clybourn avenue, Chi-
cago. The art of string making, as practiced at the
plant of the Schaff Piano String Co., is based on ex-
periments and tests in amplifying the sonorous qual-
ity in bass strings. In fact, the artist mechanic in
the Schaff factory winds tone and vibrancy into the
strings in the making.
The piano manufacturer, piano repairman and piano
tuner requiring the test are aware of the meritorious
character of the bass strings made by the Schaff
Piano String Co. The record of customers who have
bought Schaff strings contains a great many names
of piano manufacturers whose product is remarkable
for artistic tone and the dependable character of the
materials used.
BRUNSWICK ORCHESTRA FOR HOTEL.
Abe Lyman and his California Brunswick Orches-
tra, who recently proved such a hit at the Palace
Theater and B. F. Keith's Hippodrome and who have
just terminated a most successful engagement of six
weeks at the Hotel Astor Roof, have been engaged
as the feature attraction by the Ambassador Hotel at
Atlantic City for the balance of the season.
Harry C. Braden, general manager of the Fitzger-
ald Music Co., Los Angeles, recently made a ninety-
nine year lease on Pine street, Long Branch, for a
branch store in the latter city.
