SCHILLER VALENCIA MODEL
The Valencia Spanish design of the Schiller Piano
Co., Oregon, 111., was one of the sensations at the
recent exhibition in connection with the recent music
trade convention in Chicago. The model, shown in
the accompanying cut, is 5 feet 2 inches long, high-
lighted, in mahogany or walnut.
Calling it a sensation is suggested by the deep
interest expressed in the instrument by dealers visit-
ing the Schiller exhibit. One enthusiastic dealer
alluded to it a c "an inspiring tribute to Schiller
achievement."

SOUTHERN INDIANA TRADE
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Cheering Report from Evansville Makes Sig-
nificant Comparisons and Notes Apparent
Optimism of the Section.
Trade with the music dealers of Evansville, Ind.,
and other towns in southern Indiana has shown some
improvement of late. Reports from the rural sec-
tions are to the effect that a marked improvement
in business is looked for after the farmers have fin-
ished their heavy work. General business conditions
in Evansville are as good now as they were this
time last year and optimism pervades the trade.
Piano for Press Club.
Henry Hy Hudson, of Hudson & Son, music deal-
ers at Boonville, Ind., furnished a Kimball piano for
the fourth annual picnic and patriotic gathering of
the Boonville Press Club, which was held at the
Nancy Hanks Park at Lincoln City, Ind., on Sunday,
July 10, which event attracted several thousand peo-
ple. Mr. Hudson was voted a vote of thanks by the
Press Club members for their thoughtfulness.
Charles Paul, well known music dealer at Vin-
cennes, Ind., was in Evansville, Ind., on business
recently and reported his trade had been coming
along all right.
The first concert given this season by Warren's
band in Evansville was presented in the Aikin Park
under the direction of August Pfafflin and drew a
large crowd. The Warren band is one of the oldest
and best known in southern Indiana. For many
years it was directed by the late George Warren,
one of the pioneer retail music dealers of Evansville
and several years ago took several prizes at national
band concerts. Most of the players in the original
band long ago died.
The Boonville Municipal Band, under the leader-
ship of Professor Raymond Kirsch, furnished the
music for the fourth annual basket picnic and gath-
ering of the Boonville Press Club of Boonville, Ind.,
at Nancy Hanks Park at Lincoln City. This picnic
and patriotic gathering is held each year in July in
the Nancy Hanks Park as a tribute to the mother
of Abraham Lincoln, whose body is buried in the
park. The park was named after her. These annual
events attract many thousand people from all parts
of southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. William
B. Carleton, publisher of the Boonville Enquirer, is
president of the Boonville Press Club and he delivers
an oration each year on "Motherhood" at the grave,
following which he hands a large floral wreath to two
little girls and they tenderly place it upon the grave.
FOSTER & WALDO BOOSTS
MINNEAPOLIS PIANO CLASSES
In Page Ad in Newspaper, Progressive Music House
Stimulates Melody Way Plan.
Foster & Waldo, 818-820 Nicolet avenue, Minne-
apolis, Minn., used a page in the Minneapolis Journal
recently to advertise the Melody Way method of
group piano instruction. It was a plea in support
of the plan for the promotion of piano lessons pro-
moted by the Journal. This was printed:
"Foster & Waldo have found that our greatest
benefits come from movements which we've under-
taken unselfishly. Therefore, we, Foster & Waldo,
pledge our unlimited support to the Journal 'Melody
Way' plan. For fifty years we've kept the fires
of music burning. Well do we understnd the part
we are to play. We will endeavor to make our classes
a model which the entire country may follow—from
picked instructors to the latest methods in teaching
science. No man can do more than that!"
