HELP OF BOWEN LOADER
Use of the Loader Imparts Alluring Element
of Adventure to Quest of Prospects,
Says Western Dealer.
'On good roads or poor roads the Bowen Piano
Loader makes piano delivery better for the piano
dealer. On the good roads the Loader assures faster
•time on trips; on the poor one the device is a neces-
sity in safeguarding the piano's tonal and constructive
qualities which influenced the customer to buy. On a
road of any kind the Loader is a boon to the ambi-
tious salesman anxious to demonstrate a piano to a
large number of prospects in the course of a day.
The Bowen Piano Loader is now considered a
necessity to prompt sales and quick delivery by pro-
gressive music dealers. Many dealers who consid-
ered the buying of the first Loader somewhat of an
experiment, soon were encouraged by the improved
sales to add a second. One western dealer who had

PIANO MOVING MADE EASIER
Improved Buckeye Sill Piano Truck of the Self-
Lifting Piano Truck Co., Solves Problem.
A piano truck that serves the mover well is one
which makes easier the stair work problems. And
the most effective assistance to the mover's ingenuity
is found in the new Buckeye Sill Piano Truck. Made
by the Self-Lifting Piano Track Co., Findlay, Ohio.
The difficulties of the grand or upright on the stair
are minimized when the Buckeye is operated. It is
the invention of a man who thoroughly understands
the processes of piano moving. Its use means greater
safety, a saving of labor and economy of time to the
user.
The new Buckeye Sill assures better service today
than ever before in its uses by the trade. The han-
dles, center rock shaft and the uprights at both ends
have been greatly improved and other changes for
the further betterment of the truck are described in
•the new circular which dealers and movers may ob-
tain on request. In this interesting booklet eight
styles of end trucks are described as well as piano
hoists, covers and specially made straps for the piano
mover.
CHINA OIL IMPORTS.
In October, 1925, imports of China wood oil were
so much higher than the average and because the
figure for September, 1926, was also way out of line,
imports were only half as much in October of this
year as compared with the same month a year ago
are not held to be cause for alarm, according to De-
partment of Commerce records.

store, established a new policy when he realized that
this is a day when the piano dealer must go after
business.
"Going out with the piano on the Bowen Loader,
ready to demonstrate, gives an element of adventure
to piano selling that encourages the active young
fellows to undertake the job. The number of sales
made possible by the Loader makes them stick to it."
said a successful dealer. He is only one of the
hundreds of music merchants who recognize the
Bowen Loader as a great aid to sales.

THE PHOTOGRAPH'S VOICE
Professor at Ohio State University First to Photo-
graph Talking Machine's Vocal Mechanism.
Photographing of the interior human voice mechan-
ism during the normal speech was accomplished for
the first time at the Ohio State University at Colum-
bus, O., by Prof. O. Oscar Russell.
Professor Russell declared he is convinced, as a
result of the phonographs, that many previously con-
ceived theories regarding the voice will have to be
modified, if not revolutionized. Unlocking of vocal
secrets, which may be expected to follow, he ob-
served, may be felt in the radio industry, telephone,
phonograph making, voice culture, teaching of lan-
guages, and teaching deaf mutes to speak.
PROGRESSIVE MUSIC PRINTERS.
A business of constantly increasing interest 'to peo-
ple in all phases of the music trade, is that of Rayner,
Dalheim & Co., 20554-2060 West Lake street, Chi-
cago, music printers by all processes. The growth
of the house indicates the vast increase in music
publishing in America, but the importance of Rayner,
Dalheim & Co. is the best proof of its active modern
methods and the appreciation of those methods by
musicians, publishers and the music trade.
