C. E. HoUenbeck Visitor C. E. Hollenbeck, manager of the Eilers MusicHouse, located at Spokane, Wash., was in Chicago for a period of about ten days on a trip which combined the music business and the business of Mr. Hollenbeck 's general health. He was at St. Joseph Hospital for a period of a few days in order to undergo a slight operation. Mr. Hollenbeck said that the reorganized Eilers MusicHouse was again on the map and going strong. "We are working very successfully along conservative lines and on as nearly a cash basis as is possible. We have concentrated our efforts in cleaning up a large number of bad accounts, repossessing musical instruments from all quarters of previous occupation.

Our large stock of reclaimed instruments and so forth all combine to make for a small investment and greater returns. I consider that we will enjoy a highly prosperous holiday business.
