Location of Tournament.
The following are interesting facts about the Olym-
pia Fields Country Club, where the convention Golf
Tournament will be held:
The club is the largest private golf club in the
world. The property owned by the club outright
consists of 690 acres of rolling wooded land, more
than a full section a mile square twenty-five miles
south of Chicago's loop.
There are four championship eighteen hole courses
on the property. More than half the fairways of
the seventy-two holes are fringed on one or both
sides with fine growths of natural timber. A stream
of running water crosses twenty-three fairways on
the four courses. The fourth course at Olympia
Fields is said to be one of the wonder golf courses
of the United States. It is 6,500 yards in length with
a par of seventy-two. The Professional Golf Asso-
ciation of the United States has its national tourna-
OLYMPIA FIELDS CLUB.

baths. The membership in the club numbers 1,000
resident and a few non-resident.

sects a corner of the club's property and the club has
a private railroad station within three hundred yards
of the clubhouse. Illinois Central suburban trains are
run between Chicago's downtown lake front and the
Olympia Fields station nearly every hour during the

M. SCHULZ COMPANYS
GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
Dealers, Everywhere, Accorded Fine Trade for
M. Schulz Co.'s Line, Place Liberal Orders
for Pianos and Players.
The trend of the business done by the M. Schulz
Co., 711 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago, during the
spring months, has been on the upward grade, and
is indicative of a growing demand for the extensive
M. Schulz line.
Liberal orders accompanied with cheering reports
of better business are constantly arriving at the M.
Schulz Co.'s headquarters. Repeated requirements
by wire and mail has kept the entire factory operat-
ing at the production limit.
The class of business done by M. Schulz dealers
shows a demand for instruments of the higher grade
and has prompted a large number of them to concen-
trate their efforts in pushing the M. Schulz line. In
catering to a high class trade the M. Schulz instru-
ment is a fitting requirement in the warerooms of
dealers who value this class of trade above all others.
At the corresponding period last year, business with
the M. Schulz Company was considered good by
officials of that firm. A survey of business done this
year shows an increase of over 25 per cent.
STARR REMOVAL DAY
WAS ALSO SALES DAY
Manager Hunt of Chicago House Reports that Not a
Single Sale Missed During Kemoval.
The Starr Chicago Co. is now settled comfortably
in its new quarters at 234 S. Wabash avenue, and
Manager Hunt reports that there has been no notice-
able change in the steady trade accorded it at the old
location, 430 South Wabash.
"The removal was accomplished in a short time
and customers looked us up and became familiar
with our new place of business without losing any
time. We have not noticed any drop in our record
sales during our move," said Mr. Hunt, last week.
Construction of a four-story reinforced concrete
building, to cost $125,000, was started April 15 at 816-
818 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis, Minn., for Foster
& Waldo, dealers in musical instruments.
