Reduced Rates Apply to Members and Their De-
pendents and Mean Half Fares Are Lower
Than Ever Before.
The Music Industries Chamber of Commerce has
received word of the granting of special railroad rates
of fare and one half for the round trip to and from
the National Music Industries Convention in Chi-
cago in June.
The Transcontinental Passenger Association and
the Western Passenger Association, under whose
jurisdiction the Chicago conventions fall, first
granted the rates and the Central Passenger Asso-
ciation, also with headquarters in St. Louis, have
followed suit. The others to he heard from are the
New England, Southeastern, Trunk Line and Cana-
dian Eastern and Canadian Western Association.
The rates apply to all members attending the con-
vention of the Music Industries Chamber of Com-
merce and to division associations, and to dependent
members of their families. The rates are subject to
the usual conditions of the certificate plan, requiring
at least 250 attendance and return over the same
route. The certificates called for by past Music
Industries conventions far exceed that. Other spe-
cial rates may prove more desirable to members from
some sections, as for example tourist rates from the
Pacific coast.

tified, as provided for by the certificate. Return

portation is not honored and will be subject to the
same transit limits and stopover regulations as apply

be validated for purchase of reduced fare return
tickets, provided the necessity of the issuance of two
certificates is apparent.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT
FOR STARCK FACTORY
E. J. Fishbaugh Now Has Charge of Mechani-
cal Departments of the Substantial
Chicago Industry.
The factory of the P. A. Starck Piano Co., Ashland
avenue and 39th street, Chicago, is now progressing
in the expert charge of E. J. Fishbaugh who until
recently was superintendent of the Lyon & Healy
plant. Mr. Fishbaugh has had wide experience in
piano manufacture, having been at different times in
the employ successively of the Van Dyke Piano Co.,
the Chute & Butler Company, the Hobart M. Cable
Company, the A. B. Chase Co. and Lyon & Healy,
since he left New York twenty years ago.
Mr. Fishbaugh, in his present position, succeeds
such experts as Charles Stanley and Max Richsteig
who had charge of the Starck plant for a good many
years. Even with such predecessors, however, Mr.
Fishbaugh's reputation is such as to guarantee no
depreciation in the quality of the Starck pianos.
Wilson & Barber, Buffalo, N. Y., will move its
branch in Kenmore from the present quarters in
Delaware avenue, opposite the Kenmore Village Hall,
to a new blilding erected in Delaware avenue.
NEW DU0=ART CATALOGUE
Among the interesting new pieces of
piano literature is the new Duo-Art cata-
log just issued by the Aeolian Company.
The book is made for general distribution
and has a cover of black and gold on
taupe stock, and the inside pages are like-
wise printed in two colors, with a most
interesting scheme of piano illustration.
The set of the pages, with two sizes of
type is new in piano books. The book
was designed by Frank Fleming of
Rogers & Company, who has created
much of the Aeolian Company's literature
in the last thirty years.
The new book is characteristic of the
publicity methods of the Aeolian Com-
pany and is a tribute to the advertising
efforts of the house and peculiar gifts of
the designer. It is a notable and praise-
worthy addition to a tasteful and con-
vincing line of literature for Duo-Art, a
name known the world over associated
with instruments for the reproduction of
accurate recordings of great artists'
playing.
