BUSINESS GOOD, SAYS MR. NELSON
Business is active and increasing at the Victor
Nelson Piano and Organ Key Shop at St. Charles
111. Mr. Nelson has his shop and studio perfectly
equipped for production and repair of piano key tops,
sides and fronts and all kinds of piano key repair
work.
Mr. Nelson started in a small and rather quiet way
and by careful personal attention to every detail of
his work and every order has built up an active and
growing trade.
Mr. Nelson says many letters come to him com-
plimenting him on the quality of his work and the
general satisfaction it gives; in fact, as the Presto-
Times representative was hearing this story from Mr.
Nelson himself, a letter was received from Danville,
111., which read: "I am sending you a set of keys for
tops. Your work has been the best for the money
I have ever had."
T W E L V E WURLITZER GRAND PIANOS
PLAYED IN UNISON AT LA SALLE
WOMAN'S CLUB FESTIVAL
La Salle. 111., June 21.—The recent grand piano
festival held here under the sponsorship of the Wom-
an's Club was so enthusiastically received by the
people of La Salle and surrounding cities that it is
very likely to become an annual affair. The Wur-
litzer pianos were furnished by Ray Bannon, Wur-
litzer dealer of LaSalle.
The one hundred and fifty pianists who took part
played to a capacity audience in the Matthiessen Me-
morial Auditorium. They were ably directed by
Hugh C. Price, M. M., w T ho has his "charges'' so
beautifully trained that the twelve pianos sounded as
one. In addition to the many tributes paid to the
clarity and richness of tone of the Wurlitzer grands,
the La Salle papers commented upon the cultural
value of the event, saying:
"The young players have learned a valuable lesson
in precision, attention and ensemble playing, and the
increased interest in music among them has been
most noticeable. Such ensemble work stimulates the
desire and emphasizes the importance of working
together, which is the ultimate aim to which youth
must aspire. . . . This program did much to establish
La Salic as a leader in the arts, and as a city not
only conscious of its talents, but one that has the
energy to present them in a manner so unusual."
Wurlitzer grands seem to be the reigning favorite
for such ensembles—it will be remembered that they
were chosen for the 150 Grand Piano Festival in In-
dianapolis in May, too.
PUSH AND DRIVE OF A BIG SUPPLY HOUSE
On the letterheads of the Hammacher-Schlemmer
correspondence paper is printed the picture of a motor
truck loaded with material boxed and marked for
various piano manufacturing concerns. Ahead of the
loaded truck is the picture of a dog running his day-
lights out trying to get out of the way.
This is a striking picture as associated with the
progress and activity of this great piano supply house;
their trucks are loaded and their goods reach all active
piano manufacturers. The fellow that doesn't get
out of the way is liable to get a bump off to the side
of the road. A slogan might be used—"Clear the way
for H.-C. & Co."
