FOR ENJOYING THE
ELECTRIC PIANOS
It is reported that E. M. Boothe, Hugh J. Healion
and Louis C. Kauling have taken over the F. Radle
Piano Co. business, left by the late Eugene Radle,
who met death recently in an automobile accident,
and are operating the business. Mr. Boothe's latest
activities were as manager of the Premier Grand
Piano Co. as a division of Jacob Doll & Sons. Mr.
Kaaling is also an experienced piano man, and Mr.
Healion is a business man who aided in liquidating
the Jacob Doll & Sons' assets.
The members of the Musical Supply Association
of America at their recent convention meeting in
Chicago on June 9 voted to disband and turn over
their assets to the Music Industries Chamber of
Commerce, to be used for piano promotion.
Harry T. Sipe, who traveled for Adam Schaaf, Inc.,
for several years, has been home at Ridgeville, Ind.,

THERE'S MONEY IN
ELECTRIC PIANOS
L. E. Lines, aged 82, pioneer music dealer of Spring-
field, Mo., who died last month, was one of the best
known business figures in that part of the country.
He began business many years ago as a sewing ma-
chine salesman. Later he branched out as an organ
merchant and then still later turned his attention to
his more important work as a piano merchant.
The Clark Orchestra Roll Co., DeKalb, 111., says in
their monthly bulletin that judging by the numbers of
letters received for information on the repair and
reservicing of electric pianos, owners everywhere are
beginning to realize that there's money in electric
pianos if they can be put into condition.
