PROMISED INTERESTING TIME
An order for four Steinway grand pianos has been
placed by Carl Stanley, manager of the Hotel Del
Monte, at Del Monte, Cal., with the San Jose branch
of Sherman, Clay & Co. The hotel was equipped
with Steinway pianos when it was destroyed by lire
last summer.
The new order for Steinway pianos for the hotel
now being rebuilt, calls for two concert grands, one
of which will be placed in the lounge room and the
other in the grill, and for two smaller grands, one for
the dining room and one for the auditorium. The
Hotel Del Monte is a fashionable resort where musi-
cal events are among the distinctive attractions. It
is a favorite place for a winter sojourn for many
celebrities in the music world. Manager Stanley said
he never considered the selection of any piano for
the hotel but the Steinway.

PIPE ORGAN FACTORY
NOT FOR PORTLAND, IND.
Proposal to Raise $100,000 or Sell Stock to That
Amount Not Acceptable to Town.
The factory of the Page Organ Company, now at
Defiance, O., but seeking a location elsewhere, will
not be located at Portland, Ind., as was expected for
a while by citizens of that place.
A committee of Portland business men that went
to Lima, Ohio, last week for a conference with Mr.
Maus, president of the company, was told that if the
factory located at Portland it would be necessary
to raise $100,000, either by selling stock in the fac-
tory or as a bonus. The selling of stock was given
preference.
The committee returned to Portland feeling sure
that such a proposition could not be put over there.
However, a meeting was held later at which time the
proposition was again discussed. The result of the
discussion was that the pipe organ company be noti-

Holzwasser, Inc., San Diego, Cal., has prepared
plans for enlarging the floor space of its store by the
addition of 30,000 feet. The increased space will be
of great benefit to the music section, as the moving
of some other departments will give it more room.
According to C. S. Holzwasser, president of Holz-
wasser, Inc., it is the intention to erect a twelve-story
building on property adjacent to the present store
and now owned by his company. The music section,
which is one of Mr. Holzwasser's special interests,
will occupy quarters in the new building.
STARR FOR STAR.
A Starr piano purchased by the Order of the Eve-
ning Star is offered as a prize in the Fashion and
Home Exposition conducted by the order at the
Hotel Ambassador auditorium, Los Angeles. The in-
strument was exhibited in the window of the Starr
Piano Co., before it was delivered. It will be pre-
sented to the chapter making the highest average in
co-operation with the exposition.

An attractive program is being prepared for the
October meeting of the Milwaukee division of the
National Association of Piano Tuners, and President
George Bresch urges all members to be present. An
alluring feature of the meeting will be a continuation
of the discussion on scale drafting inaugurated at the
September meeting.
A member can best show his interest in the divi-
sion and his enthusiasm for the purposes of the
National Association of Piano Tuners, Inc , by at-
tending the monthly meetings, according to President
Bresch. An increase in membership will follow the
activities of the membership committee which has
adopted a more efficient method of handling applica-
tions and examining applicants for membership.
