VISIT TO SCHILLER PLANT
R. B. Oslund, Spokane, Wash., and Richard Spaniard
of Maysville, Ky., Are Callers.
Among the recent visitors to the Schiller factory,
Oregon, 111., were R. B. Oslund, Spokane, Wash.,
and Richard Spaniard, Maysville, Ky. Both gentle-
men represent the Schiller line and are enthusiastic
forty years. He is survived by three sons and a
daughter.
John W. Smith has started a violin factory in Por-
tage, Wis., which promises to become an industry in
that city of considerable prominence. Mr. Smith is
manufacturing several instruments, which are attract-
ing the attention of musicians, not only in Portage,
but in that entire vicinity.
Mr. Barry, proprietor of a hotel at Portage, Wis.,
has invented a system which enables him to furnish
music to his guests in the recreation hall a half block
from his office without experiencing any incon-
venience on his part.
Dancers at the hall have only to turn the dials to
the number they wish played. These dials are con-
nected by a wiring system to an old telephone switch-
board in his office, and the required number is indi-
cated. Mr. Barry then plays the record, but a sound-
ing horn carries the music to the hall without any
disturbance in his office.
The phonograph company, whose machine he uses.
is very much interested in his idea, and the way in
which it is working. They state that they never be-
fore heard of an invention anything like this before.

Herewith is a reproduction of an advertisement
featured by Chartres Limited of Adelaide in the pro-
gram of the South Australian Orchestra, which gives
evidence of the high esteem in which the Aria Divina
reproducing action is held by music merchants of
Australia.
A. P. Gustafson, the M. Schulz Co. player expert,
is generally credited with the invention of the Aria
Divina reproducing action, which is the latest of re-
producing mechanisms to appear on the market. Mr.
Gustafson is at present in Australia where he is meet-
ing with M. Schulz Co. dealers at Sydney, Melbourne
and Adelaide, to acquaint them with the technical
details of Schulz Construction.
It is the belief of dealers in Australia that the
reproducing medium offers a new field of opportunity,
and the Aria Divina mechanism has taken a leading
place among reproducing actions in that country.
An extensive library of Aria Divina reproducing
rolls has recently been released by the M. Schulz
v'sitor at the Boston factory. The accompanying
Co. and includes a generous selection of favorite
photograph was taken as a souvenir and shows Mr.
Yoshida; Mr. Henry L. Mason, president, and Mr. concert and operatic numbers played by such well
known artists as Harold Bauer, Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
W. P. Marsh, vice-president of Mason & Hamlin.
Mr. Yoshida reports an increasing demand in the Bloomficld Zeisler, Leginska and Godowsky. These
rolls have proven a boon to the sale of Schulz Aria
Orient for American instruments of the first grade
Divina reproducing pianos.
