GOOD MUSIC IN GREAT DEMAND Neighborhood Music Stores Become Community , Centers. With educators Indorsing and encouraging in every possible way the growing use of good music In the homes there has come a very definite demand for a good and easy way of supplying and distributing this music supply. Asa result neighborhood music stores have sprung up In far greater numbers and have met with a far greater degree of success than ever before. Such an institution is In.reality more than a commercial enterprise. In a way It assumes many of the characteristics of a civic center. Mrs. B. L. Putnam, head of the Put-nam-Llne Music Company, ICM2 South Meridian street, is head of just such a company and by her deep interest In music and In her community l;j more than simply a good business woman. “Thanks to modern science it Is now possible to bring to music lovers,” she f*ald, "some of the choicest numbers from grand opera and light opera, long before they would be available in the ordinary course of events. I can think of nothing more interesting than the daily handling of mnsic to meet the taste of evsry individual. Among mj greatest pleasure* la to help the young folks select good dance uiuslo for their parties, and no one who has not done it knows the keen pleasure of bringing back the happy past to the older generation by playing for them some of the fine old melodies that live forever, “An amusing thing, showing that the spirit of youth will persist in older persona, is the fact that Mother Goose numbers, made particularly for the kiddles, such as the relation of the exploits of Tom, Tom the Piper’s Son, Little Red Biding Hood and others, seem to uppeal to the older persona with the same zest as to the kiddles.” Mrs. Putnam sayg she has found buolness remarkably .atiafactorv. This she attributes to the growing appreciation of music by the public at large. PICTURES PROVE BIG SA LES A SSET Photography Plays Important Part in Commercial Life.

“and more and more the realization of the sales value of pictures has continued' to grow with sales managers and advertising managers. The popularity of pictures for sales purposes is steadily growing, and the one thing that seemed to retard that development for a long time was the trouble to firms in having pictures taken. Nowadays with modern equipment and improved photographic devices, the completely equipped sales photography plant can take these pictures for commercial purposes with a minimum of inconvenience, delay and trouble to the concern having the work done. “In fact, 1 do not recall a single ease of any company for whom I have done work that has not continued to Us-e this character of work. The progress of dozens of Indianapolis concerns is recorded by plates In my files, small shops that became great factories covering more acres of ground that the founders of the plants ever realized. There 1s a lot of romance in every day business aud this certainly is recorded by the use of sales photography."

ON TUB ROAD, Oct. 8L OIL has been substitute.! for cocl in New Orleans to a pronounced degree, both la industrial eetabllshxnents and by vessels. The largest dealer in coal in Lonlalana gave the writer a copy of a letter he wrote to \Y. J. Mitchell, vice president of tne Canal Commercial Trust aud Savings Bank, on this subject. Here It is In part; “Steam coal for land users, including tonnage consigned to New Orleans by two railroads leading west, prior to about three years ago, approximated 1.000,000 tons annually. This was reduced rapidly until about eighteen months ago, when about 745 per cent, or 750,000 tons of coal had been replaced by oil as fuel. "Steam coal for steamship backsrs. Including export shipments, prior to about two years ago, amounted to approximately 7.0,<K0 tuns annually. “Substantially, the same volume was handled during link, but this approximated about l.OfM.owl tuns daring ifizo. and will fall back during 1021 If deliveries the first half of the year ure maintained to about 750,000 tons though possibly for lbs year down to 600.000 tons “While there ha* been enormous Increase In use of oil as fuel by steamships, the increase in shipping w sufficient to maintain and for a while increase the tonnage of coul reqnlred. tassels entering this port for last twelve months represented a* between eoal burners and oil burners about 60 to 65 per cent coal and S3 to 40 per cent oil.

a great deal, owing to wage and transportation costs. “The writer does not believe economic and other conditions are such as to tend, on the swhole, to much further replacement of oil for coal, although he realises, becauso of New Orleans’ nearness to production fislds —domestic and foreign—and extensive development of oil refineries, oil deposits and oil-handling plants here, that use of oil as fuel at New Orleans will be large for quite soma time to come.” TRAFFIC in one of the principal thoroughfares of New Orleans was held up wulle a procession went by. The procession was rather long, and was made up wholly of automobiles In which robust gentfemen, all dressed up and wearing largo badges on their breasts, sat In state They were delegates to the National Convention of Horseshoers held in tho Crescent City. Apparently the delegates did not appreciate the inappropriateness of parading In automobiles, the vehicles that have put the kibosh on the horseshoe. Si'BAKING of horseshoes, the truck has displaced tho mule to u large degree on the wharves of New Orleans. The levee Isn’t what It used to be.

the wide spread popularity and usefulness of the replating processes," George YV. Dick, gold, silver, copper and nickel plater, 87 Virginia avenue, aald. “1 have been called upon to piato numerous metal articles 'used In church services, such as candelabra*, crosses, candlesticks, chalices, obstensorluras, sanctuary lamps, etc. During my forty long years In business I suppose I have been called upon to plate Just about everything in metal at sometime or other. •Many housewives hare found it a great piece of economy to have old spoons, knives, forks, tea sets, waiter*, pitchers and other tableware replated rather than replace the articles with new and, under present conditions, expensive ones. They have found also that many old patterns, which they have learned to love through years of Intimate association, cannot be replaced, and by replating they can be preserved and kept in use." CEMENT WORK IS active now Expected Slump in Block Industry Fjtils to Materialize. To the surprise of many persons Interested In building operations, there has been little or no sign of a slump in this line this fall, according to L. W, Lewis, secretary-treasurer of the II elmLewis Cement Block Company. "At this time of the year as general rule." Mr. Lewta tail, “buCdlng work shows marked signs of a decided slackening. but at present it appear* as If there will be consider*Ms work throughout the winter, and if the ■winter happen* to be n open one the amount of work done w!U be astonishingly large. In my opinion cement block prices are now ns low as th-y can be expected to go reasonably, and should any change in price occur I believe it will be in the nu: re of an increase. During the last y->nr block price* have dropped not le*t than 13 jar <ent, und this despite a general advance In freight rates. Should freight rn?s be lowered thre may be a further drop.

As great as ha* t *•:; the activity along home building lines during the past year, there is still a house shortage in Indianapolis arid the demand for new and well-built homes is ss insistent as ever.
