F. Radle, Inc., 609-611 West Thirty-sixth street,
New York, recently placed on the market its Style
E playerpiano, which has received considerable praise
from dealers. The new style is four feet, five inches
high, with the Boston fall, a plain but characteristically
artistic F. Radle case design and of course with the
tone which is the principal basis of merit in the
instruments bearing the name.
The F. Radle playerpianos have assumed a con-
spicuous place in the trade by reason of their un-
challenged merits. They are made upon the most
approved principles and possess improvements of
peculiar power in their appeal to both the piano re-
tailer and his customer. Apart from the merits of
F. Radle tone, the case designs are remarkable for
their attractiveness.
The warm character of the compliments for the
new model is very satisfying to the manufacturers.
Many letters similar to the one which follows are
received by F. Radle, Inc. This one dated July 17
from Joseph Zodda should be interesting to the
trade. Mr. Zodda is a practical piano'man, having
worked in different piano factories for a good many
years before starting out for himself:
Gentlemen: I wish to congratulate you on the
style E player. I must admit that this new style E
player sure is a line all around instrument and what
strikes me most is the beautiful tonal quality.
I am quite sure that this instrument is going to
be an easy seller; as a matter of fact, I got two pros-
pects the very first day that the piano was in the
store, and believe that once sold, it will be very
popular. With best wishes, I am, yours very truly,
J O S E P H ZODDA.

SUMMER WINDOW DISPLAYS
Article in July Story Book Tells of Advantages of
Window Displays During Summer Months.
'Keep your windows working for you," is a fine
slogan for the music merchant. The Story & Clark
Co., 174 North Michigan avenue, Chicago, is per-
sistent in advocating window displays at all times
and especially during the summer. In the latest
issue of the Story Book, the company's house organ,
it is said:
Have you ever thought how many more persons
pass your store in the summer than pass in the
winter? Have you ever reasoned with yourself why
this is true? just consider for one moment how
many autos pass, and each auto carrying to capacity.
Vacation time you know—and these jolly, happy,
pleasure seeking persons passing are easily attracted,
and anything that attracts is indelibly stamped upon
their memories.
This could be your store window which they pass
and if the window is properly decorated (especially

worded, announcing your Line of Goods, your Serv-
ice, your "Special Offering," etc., it surely will be
noticed and remembered.
We believe in keeping the windows "working" at
all times, but an especially attractive window in the
summer time, if seen only by the hundreds who
drive by and while in their "Merrie Mood" leaves
an impression never to be erased which will serve as
a reminder where to go when the occasion arrives.
STRENGTH O F RADIO BUSINESS.
About 6,500,000 radio receiving sets are estimated
to be in operation, including 3,500.000 in the United
States, 900,000 in Great Britain and 800,000 in Ger-
many.
The remaining 1,300,000 are scattered
throughout the world. Europe is far behind in the
development of the art, despite its origin there.
Ownership of radio receiving sets in many countries
of Europe is actually illegal, although the various
governments involved have never taken action. In
most countries the governments, owning all com-
munication lines, have not encouraged the use of the
radio by the public. This is in line with the foreign
governments' handling of the telephone and tele-
graph and is based largely on control of communica-
tions during a period of hostilities.
