Fire Last Week in Plant in New York Only
Slightly Interrupted Production of Fine
Instruments.
Fire last week did considerable damage to the fac-
tory of F. Radle, Inc., 609-611 West Thirty-Sixth
street, New York, between Eleventh and Twelfth
avenues.
Workrooms on the five floors of the Radle factory
were stocked with hardwood, .and other piano ma-
terials, through which the flames spread rapidly.
They were bursting through the roof when firemen
arrived.
Number 611 was destroyed, but the company kept
stock made up for the fall trade in 609 so that it
will only take a matter of a few days before opera-
tions will be actively resumed in the latter number.
"You can tell the trade that we will resume work
on Friday or Saturday of this week and that the
Radle piano will be better and finer than ever be-
fore," was the cheerful report to a Presto representa-
tive last week.
The announcement shows the spirit of the progres-
sive industry which has a record of successes dating
back to 1850. The incident of the fire last week-
may disturb the plans of the company for a few days,
but not materially interfere with the continuous pro-
duction of the fine line of pianos, players and repro-
ducing pianos.
E. J. Radle, head of the industry, who is proud of
the position of the F. Radle instruments in the trade,
gives the assurance of continuous sjpplies of the
instruments. F. Radle dealers are loyal and always
enthusiastic in their commendations of the instru-
ments. The news that production will not be seri-
ously interrupted in the New York factory is an as-
surance pleasing to them.

Address Department "E"
A very beautiful Knabe piano display was recently
arranged in the store of the Nowlin-Carr Music Co..
Pine Bluff, Ark.
Upon entering the "Knabe Cottage," as it is called,
one is confronted with a charming interior complete
in every detail. The various rooms of the cottage are
beautifully furnished and the instruments displayed
show how the Knabe piano appears in a home en-
vironment. The acoustics of the rooms also enable
the prospective purchaser to form a complete idea as
to the tonal effectiveness of his piano as well as its
artistic appearance.
There can be no question but that such a manner
of displaying instruments has a very appealing effect
on the mind of a customer. The uniqueness of the
idea, the care with which every detail of it is carried
out, has invariably excited the admiration and inter-
est of every visitor to the store.
H. A. W r ood, the aggressive and successful man-
ager of the Nowlin-Carr Music Co., is responsible for
the idea and its successful accomplishment.
