Gordon Laughead, Sales Manager of Story & Clark Piano Com-
pany, announces the appointment of two new Story & Clark
dealers: Colorado Springs Music Company, Colorado Springs,
Colo., and Russ Bailey's House of Music, Spokane, Wash.
Recently at Phoenix, Arizona, Frank Flanigan, President of
the Colorado Springs Music Company, renewed a 25 year old
friendship with Mr. Laughead who was calling upon the Story
8i Clark dealer. [. W. Dawson Music Company. Mr. Flanigan was
so impressed with the Story & Clark line that he thought it should
be included with the many fine lines now carried by this splendid
company.
The Russ Bailey's House of Music was appointed over the long-
distance telephone following a recent visit by Mr. Laughead and
his assistant, Donald Seymour.
The Russ Bailey music business is carried on in the old Simon
store. This has been the location of Spokane's leading piano store
for over fifty years. It is opposite the Spokane Post Office on the
main business thoroughfare of Spokane. Mr. Bailey is a young
aggressive music merchant who has made remarkable progress.

FOUR BEAUTIFUL NEW MODELS BY GULHRANSEN
Pictures of four most attractive new console pianos have just
arrived from (iulbransen Company. They show:
Chippendale
3 Modernette
36" size
Royal Regency
38" size
Warwick
40" size
The Modernette is certainly a very pleasing treatment of the
modern style.
We have selected for presentation here the Chippendale which
conies either in Walnut or Mahogany. This style is authentically
correct in design even to such details as the claw and ball foot,
the graceful outline of lyre, gadroon moldings 011 upper lid and
keybed, etc. Surely this new Chippendale will satisly the most
fastidious and lit into almost any period lurnished room.
As an example of the strength of styling in consumer interest,
an advertisement, appearing in the Sunday edition of one of our
large metropolitan centers, brought in seven sales the day it ap-
peared, and upon being repeated, live more sales were had.

ORGAN -TRUE TONE"
Probably the oldest Mouse Organ in the band instrument manu-
facturing field is published by the Buescher Band Instrument Com-
pany of Klkhart, Indiana. True Tone was first published in 1901
and has had a continuous history. A most attractive number just
recently off the press is composed of 22 pages of interesting read-
ing matter and fine illustrations. The front cover done in green
and black is very stunning. Tt shows, across the center, a new
"Buescher Aristocrat" and in the upper left corner of the black
panel a small outline drawing of a band.
The black and green color scheme is carried throughout the
book giving it lots of life. The whole book is appealing to the
eye and must be of great value indeed to all Buescher dealers for
it attracts attention at once.
