BLttTHNER AGENCIES
Although it was unofficially announced during the
July music trade convention in Chicago, where the
Bluthuer pianos were exhibited, that the Chicago
agency for the Rliithner had been assigned, yet before
Mr. Schad, the American representative of Julius
Rliithner, departed for B'urope, he stated that no
definite arrangement for the Chicago agency had been
decided upon. Mr. Schad on his return from Europe
will visit Chicago en route to his headquarters at Los
Angeles and at that time will probably arrange for
Chicago representation as well as for several other
important points.

MR. BRECKWOLDT BECOMES MORE
OPTIMISTIC
Mr. Julius Mreckwoldt, dean of the piano sounding
hoard industry and head of the house of Julius 13reck-
woldt & .Son, Inc., Dolgevillc, N. Y.. has been more
or less optimistic and rather inclined to be enthusiastic
over continued improved conditions for several months
past. The Rreckwoldt mills have increased steadily
in production from the first of this year and at the
present time Mr. Breckwoldt is ([noted as saying:
"Business conditions have been very good with us of
late; all of our four plants are now running and we
are getting back to former production. It seems to
me," he adds, "the way the orders are coming in now.
that the prospects for the balance of the year are fine,"
Air. Breckwoldt speaks of how the power plant at the
Breckwoldt factories and mills has been increased 100
per cent and which will meet the larger demand and
steadily increasing demand being made upon them
so that they can better care for all of their old cus-
tomers and new ones as they come along.
Mr. Breckwoldt still has in mind his tour through
the trade, on which tour Chicago and vicinity will hold
him for several days.
THE STARR PIANO COMPANY
Of the two Starr piano corporations, the Starr Piano
Company and the Starr Company, the latter is a wholly
owned sales corporation, organized for selling the prod-
ucts of the Starr Piano Company which manufactures
the Starr line of pianos.
These two companies are officered by the same indi-
viduals, as follows: President, Harry Geunett; vice-
presidents in charge of various departments, A. L. Geu-
uett, A. E. Nolder, J. Arthur Connor and F. I). Wiggins;
treasurer, Clarence Gennett; secretary, Fred Gennett.
The directors are: Harry Gennett, Clarence Gennett,
Fred Gennett, A. E. Nolder and J. Arthur Connor.
This is the strong and effective personnel carrying on
the destinies of the Starr Corporation today.

dealers:
"All indications point to an acute shortage in the
supply of pianos, and if our shipment of four solid
carloads the last few days of August was any criterion,
our factories will be swamped.
"We therefore address an earnest plea to every one
of our dealers to place orders now for the models
needed to round out present stock."
Big shipments in other factories like this one from
Gulbransen use up pianos ready to ship very rapidly
and often deplete entire supplies of certain desirable
models. This kind of shortage is as severe on the
dealer as would he a general one.
