ERNEST G. CLARK OF DE KALB
AT HOME IN THE AIR
His Recent Trip to St. Louis with R. E . Holland
Reported as Delightful.
K. G. Clark, president of The Clark Orehestra Roll
Company at DeKalh, 111., together with R. E. Hol-
land, arranger of organ music for "the shop where
harmony reigns," returned last week from St. Louis,
Mo. the flight being made in a Stinson-Detroiter
plane.
Leaving" the. DeKalb-County airport early Saturday
afternoon, November 30, with Lambert Field at St.
Louis as their objective, they made the 250-mile trip
in about three hours.
They reported a delightful trip and enjoyed a very
pleasant business meeting at the factory of The Kil-
gen Organ Company.
An optimistic near-future for both the residence
and mortuary types of reproducing organs and their
rolls is evident and many favorable comments on the
automatic music-field were expressed.
Mr. Clark, who is the secretary of The DeKalb
County airport and a student pilot, was "right at
home" en tour, while Mr. Holland experienced his
first flight and, we are informed, threatened at times,
to get out and walk.
Mr. Clark prefers air travel, and has made frequent
trips in airplanes. In fact, he does so every time
that he finds an experienced pilot that he can trust
who is ready to start. One of his trips was taken
last summer when he flew from New York to Boston,
being on that occasion in a hurry to close some busi-
ness in the Hub.
WILLIAM DOLGE ADVANCES
Lester, Herrick & Herrick and William Dolge &
Company, certified accountants, announce the consol-
idation of their practices, with offices at 403' Mer-
chants' Exchange Building, San Francisco, Calif., and
branches in Los Angeles and Seattle. Mr. Dolge is
a son of the late Alfred Dolge, who was famous as
a manufacturer of felt.
The art of winning in business lies in working hard,
and not taking the game too seriously.—Elbert Hub-
bard.
WORDS OF CHEER
FOR CHRISTMAS
The Glad Season of Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men, Is Near, and Presto-Times
Presents a Few of the Merry
Wishes Here.
WALTER FOX VISITS CHICAGO.
Walter E. Fox, now residing at Omak, Wash., and
who was years ago connected with the piano house
of Lyon, Potter & Co., was in Chicago several days
last week when he called on several of his former
friends and business associates.
Heinrich Steger, president of the Music Society of
Austria, died in Vienna on December 7, at the age
of 75 years.
Christmas is in the spotlight once more. Coming
in the middle of the week, it spreads the holiday sea-
son more than usual. To some vacationers the holi-
day time will begin on the evening of Saturday, the
21st; to others it will begin on the evening of the
24th and end Sunday night, the 29th. To a few who
are lucky enough to get a longer vacation, it will not
end until New Year's night.
It is not a time for sad thoughts or worry. The
world lays aside its weariness and does its best to be
gay and generous. Men and women learn who their
real friends are, not so much in the value of gifts
as in the kind wishes of the givers. Mere expressions
of goodwill are recognized and felt the worth of; for
is not this the gladsome Christmas time!
A few of the good wishes of Presto-Times' friends
follow:
Arthur Bissell, Chicago—We wish all our friends a
merry Christmas and happy New Year. And we wish
that business in 1930 will be better than it was in
1929.
Our own card—Presto-Times, Presto Year Book,
Presto Buyers' Guide, extend to their patrons, readers
and friends all the season's greetings and best wishes
for a joyous, happy and prosperous New Year.
Old Santa Claus, Reindeer-Land—Here's wishing
you all a Merry Christmas. I predict better music
trade for 1930. You'll please me if you continue teach-
ing piano lessons in classes in the schools.
Several other greetings and seasonable communi-
cations arrived just as Presto-Times is going to press.
These and others that will probably follow will be
used in the next issue of the paper—the Year Book
issue.
