NO, I T IS NOT GEORGE J. D.
A correspondent asks Presto-Times if the picture
of the Chilean Ambassador to the United States, pub-
lished in a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune, was
not a portrait of George J. Dowling. president of the
Cable Piano Co., instead of the honored Ambassador.
"At any rate," says our correspondent, "the portraits
of the two gentlemen are near enough alike to be twin
brothers."

Olive street, St. Louis, "on a ten dollar bill and a
want ad." The Lehman business has recently beer,
sold to the Aeolian Co. of Missouri.
As the story goes, Mr. Lehman left a $15 a week
job in his mother's East St. Louis music store in
1912 and began business on the site of the Post-Dis-
patch building with $10 and a manufacturer's agree-
ment to sell him two pianos "on consignment." It
was business in name only, he related today, until he
invested part of the $10 in Post-Dispatch want ad
space.
