THE UTTLE PIANO WITH THE BIG TONE
MIESSNER PIANO COMPANY

HIGH GRADE PIANOS
and PLAYER PIANOS
announces that for eleven of the fourteen new houses
pianos were selected from the Cable Piano Com-
pany's warerooms, ten of them being Mason & Ham-
lin grands.
Northwestern University, which a few years ago
purchased seventy-three Alason & Hamlin, Conover,
and Kingsbury pianos, has also added to its purchases
this fall to accommodate the increasing enrollment
of its most successful school of music. The new
sales speak volumes for the tone and durability under
hard usage of these instruments.
The sororities made happy by the selections from
the warerooms of the Cable Piano Company are:
Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Zeta Delta, Alpha Phi,
Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Zeta, Gamma
Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Delta, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Phi Beta Phi.
The new two-story home of Manning's Music
Store, at 317 Eighth street, Augusta, Ga., was opened
recently. The business was established by William
P. Manning in 1911 at 1046 Broad street. The Stein-
way and Milton pianos, Brunswick Panatropes and
records, King band instruments, radio and musical
accessories are handled.
Mehlin Pianos Bought for the Jefferson Theater,
Beaumont, Tex., After Rigid Test.
The general business conditions in the Southwest
have greatly improved, due to an advance in the price
of cotton and the conditions in the music field nat-
urally are becoming more encouraging every day.
But at Beaumont, Tex., business is very good in all
lines. It is quite an important seaport, and ocean
line steamers from different parts of the world arrive
constantly. Beaumont has one of the largest oil
fields in the world.
There is much interest in musical and social cir-
cles in Beaumont, Tex., over the great event of the
opening of the new Jefferson Theater, a million dollar
house, for that thriving city. Sol E. Gordon, chair-
man of the board, and J. C. Clemmons, president of
the Jefferson Amusement Company, Inc., the owners
of this extensive theater, are taking quite an interest
in the installation of a number of Mehlin pianos that
are to be used exclusively by this theater. These
pianos were purchased for cash about thirty days
ago, and have arrived and been placed in the theater.
They have a splendid orchestra and a musical organ-
ization of great effectiveness in this theater.
Vigorous efforts were made by a number of the
old standard piano representatives to place other
pianos in this theater, but the committee, after a
survey of all the instruments, seemed more favor-
able to the tone, the case design and the wonderful
patented improvements in the Mehlin piano, and
after a full hearing on all this decided upon the
Mehlin pianos, much to the satisfaction of Paul G.
Mehlin & Sons, the manufacturers, and to their rep-
resentative, Elmon Armstrong, who went on the
ground at the time of the transaction. The theater
is to be opened on the 7th of November and a num-
ber of musical people and piano men from parts of
Texas and Louisiana are to be present at the opening.
BAUL J. MATHERS DIES.
The Baldwin Piano Co., Cincinnati, has mailed the
following notice to employes and dealers:
"We regret to advise of the death on Monday,
October 31, of Paul J. Mathers of our wholesale
department. During the time Mr. Mathers had been
with us we found him to be very efficient and very
faithful, and to be devoted to the work to which he
had set his hand. We feel a very personal sorrow
and sense of loss at his death."
SCHILLER TRAVELER SOUTHBOUND.
W. S. Lanz, general traveler for the Schiller Piano
Company, Chicago and Oregon, 111., is to start soon
for a trip into the southern territory covered by that
big manufacturing house. Mr. Lanz in this itinerary
expects to cover the Canal Zone, Mexico, Cuba and
several islands of the Carribean Sea. The Schiller
house has export trade and inquiries from foreign
lands, including Japan, India, Australia, Venezuela,
Ecuador, Iceland, Spain and Africa.
