Him for Work.
Louis C. Wagner, recently appointed head of retail
merchandising for the Ampico Hall chain, assumed
his new responsibilities with years of valuable experi-

been gained within the organization of the American
Piano Company, New York, and is of greater value
on that account.
Mr. Wagner was formerly a traveling representa-
tive for William Knabe & Co. and the Foster-Arm-
strong Company, and for the past two years he had
been manager of Ampico Hall in Boston. He is
highly esteemed, not only by the executive personnel
of the American Piano Company, but also by the
Individual store managers because of his winning
personality and spirit of helpfulness, which augurs
well for his success.
