HARRY SNODGRASS BROADCASTING
Officers and Directors Hold Business Sessions on
Tuesday and Wednesday of This Week.
The Ampico Art Society met on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week at the Blackstone Hotel,
Chicago, to discuss matters pertaining to the organi-
zation. The two meetings were arranged to precede
the meeting of Music Industries Chamber of Cham-
ber of Commerce, which was held at the same hotel
on Thursday.
Among those in attendance were officers and direc-
tors from widely scattered sections of the country.
The officers are: Homer L. Kitt, president, Wash-
ington, D. C.; William C. Hamilton, secretary and
treasure, Pittsburgh, Pa. The attending directors
were: Robert Conroy, St. Louis, Mo.; Henry E.
Wcissert, Chicago, 111.; T. Amesbury Jould, Buffalo,
N. Y.; Otto B. Heaton, Columbus, Ohio; Charles H.
DeVine, Cincinnati, Ohio; Harry Wunderlich, Kan-
sas City, Mo.; E. P. Andrew, Detroit, Mich., and
Allan Welburn, Nashville, Tenn. Rex Hyre, of the
Art Society, was also present at the meetings.
IMPRESSIVE BOSTON STORE.
The Chas. M. Stieff, Inc., Boston, in its new loca-
tion at 114. Boyleston street, is becoming familiar to
Boston people. From the front the passers-by get
a good idea of the great dimensions of the store,
which has an imposing frontage. It is the old loca-
tion of the Ivers & Pond Piano Co-., and with instru-
ments arranged on both sides of the long aisle the
interior has a most spacious appearance.
PRAISES NEW MANAGER.
Frank Raymond, recently appointed city sales man-
ager of the Wiley B. Allen Co., is considered to be
particularly well fitted to uphold the sales achieve-
ments of the Portland branch. He is not only recog-
nized as one of the most thoroughly capable men in
his knowledge of the piano lines handled by the
Wiley Co., but is also famed as a creator of success-
ful methods of increasing sales.
C. W. Fisher has opened a new store in Herrin,
Til , featuring the line of Jesse French & Sons, New
Castle, Ind.
QUALITY
Harry Snodgrass, the "King of the Ivories," has
had a great deal of newspaper publicity. He is seen
in the picture, playing on the Baldwin piano.
As most readers know, Harry Snodgrass has been
broadcasting over the radio from Station WOS, Jef-
ferson City, Mo., and in a recent prize contest he
was voted the most popular radio entertainer in the
United States, and as has been widely announced in
newspapers all over the country he was until last
week an inmate of the Missouri state prison.
The "King of the Ivories" won his title on a Bald-
win grand piano which is the official instrument of the
station, and we feel this is an unusual tribute to the
purity of the Baldwin tone, as is evidenced by the
way in which it lends itself beautifully for transmis-
sion over the radio.
NEW HARRINGTON GRAND CIRCULAR
"Five Popular Small Grands" is the title of a new
circular recently issued by Hardman, Peck & Co.,
New York, and possesses the artistic qualities that
dis-tinguishes the advertising literature of the com-
pany. In the illustrations three Harrington grand
models are shown—Colonial, Early English and Louis
XV. A Harrington regular small grand and a Har-
rington Style K are also pictured in the excellent half-
tone cuts.
WANT AD—TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.
B. M. I ones has closed out his music department
at 1805 Second avenue, Rock Island, 111.
