STRAUBE IN PORTLAND S C H O O I
S CHANGES IN THE TRADE
OF SOUTHERN INDIANA
Music Dealer Sells Out and New One Buys in
at Evansville, Where Trade
Promises Well.
After being in the piano and other musical instru-
ment business in Evansville, Ind., for thirty-two
years, N. W. Bryant, of the N. W. Bryant Piano
Company at 226 Main street, has announced that he
has sold his holding in the company to H. F.
Reichert, who has been secretary and treasurer of
the company since its organization. Mr. Reichert
will conduct the business under the same name, the
N. W. Bryant Piano Company. Mr. Bryant, after
returning from an extensive trip through the South
will devote all his time to another business in which
he has been interested for some time. Mr. Bryant
is one of the oldest piano men in Evansville and he is
widely known to the trade.
A. J. Willem, who has been identified with the
music profession in Evansville for the past IS years,
teaching piano and other musical instruments, has
been made assistant manager of the Stahlschmidt
Piano Company in Evansville. Mr. Willem has been
connected with the W. F. Schwentker Company, deal-
ers in pianos and phonographs, for the past few years.
He is one of the best known musical directors in
Evansville. He is organist at Zion's Evangelical
Church and at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and also
director of the Zion Glee Club in Evansville.
Music dealers in Evansville and other towns in
southern Indiana report that their trade for the past
month has been sluggish because of the bad weather
conditions that have prevailed. In their opinion there
will be improvement before the first of May and they
believe the spring trade will be equal to that of the
corresponding period of last year.
Raymond Kirsch, leader of the Boonville Municipal
Band at Boonville, Ind., has announced he will pur-
chase a number of new instruments for the band. He
will give a number of concerts in Boonville and other
towns in southern Indiana during the coming
summer.
The Hobart M. Cable Company have moved from
the second floor of the Kresge Building, at Pennsyl-
vania and Washington streets, to its new warerooms
at 150 North Delaware street. Mr. Coverdill is in
charge of the store.

Straube pianos in several models were recently sold
to the Music Committee of the Board of Education
at Portland, Ore., by the Collins & Irwin Piano Co.,
Straube dealers, in the Ungar Building, Portland.
The Straube company, of Hammond, Ind., is nat-
urally very proud, as the committee was willing to
pay more, and did pay more, for the Straube piano
•than they would have had to pay for several other
makes.
They were greatly impressed with the constructive
excellence, smoothness of action and the volume of
tone embodied in Straube pianos. The well-known
ability of the Straube piano^to stay in tune for long
periods of time, under trying conditions and very hard
usage, also had much >to do in influencing the com-
mittee.
Of late years many schools in various parts of the
country have selected Straube pianos. The group
picture above contains the nine Portland schools to
which Straube pianos have been installed.
