Products of Springfield, O., Company, Are Meri-
torious Results of a Consistent Policy.
The Fairbanks Co., makers of piano plates, Spring-
field, O., directs its business by an excellent policy—
to achieve Fairbanks quality and to effect Fairbanks
service. It is a policy that should be expressed in a
slogan.
The consistent effort of the Fairbanks Co. to im-
part of its piano plates a character of high quality is
well known and appreciated by the piano manufactur-
ers and dealers; keen interest in the requirements of
its customers is the motive that makes "Fairbanks
Service" a phrase that expresses a policy. The high
quality of the Fairbanks plates is due to assured
strength, improved methods of casting and finest
finish. Fairbanks piano plates result from the com-
bination of first-class materials, operatives of the
highest ability and approved shop methods insisted
upon by the experts who superintend every operation.

DEPARTMENT
CHINA AS A MUSIC MARKET
American Trade Commissioner in Shanghai Gives
Interesting Facts About Imports.
Chinese music differs so radically from that of
Western peoples that the Shanghai market for musi-
cal instruments is practically limited to foreigners
and foreign-educated Chinese, says Trade Commis-
sioner G. C. Howard, Shanghai.
In the case of the symphony, the instruments are
owned by the individual musicians. It is purely vol-
unteer organization made up of various nationalities
and only a small charge is made for admission to
their winter recitals, while the summer recitals at the
parks are free, a small charge being made for chairs.
They render very excellent programs and their re-
citals are all well attended.
In dance orchestras, the instruments, with the ex-
ception of the pianos, are individually owned, and in
most cases brought to Shanghai by the owners.
Very few of the colleges have bands, and the de-
mand for band instruments from the various military
organizations in China has been negligible during re-
cent years.
The business in instruments is small. Occasional
sales are made for replacements or to individuals who
want unusual types, but the colume is only sufficient
to enable dealers to carry such articles as a side line
to their piano and phonograph business.
A fair number of sales is recorded in banjos,
mandolins, guitars, ukuleles, etc., to individual pur-
chasers, both foreign and Chinese.
Germany, United States, France, Great Britain,
Japan and Canada import music goods to Shanghai.
NEW LOUISVILLE STORE.
A modern music store has been opened by Harry
S. Currie in the Rialto Theater Building, 614 South
Fourth street, Louisville, Ky. Mr. Currie, long iden-
tified with the Louisville musical world, whose or-
chestra was well known to everyone in Central Ken-
tucky, carries a complete stock of instruments and
gives professional service for musicians and music
students. Besides reed, string and brass instruments,
the store carries a line of phonographs and radio-
phonographs. A record department is included as
part of the store.
