According to H. M. Brown, general manager of the club, if there wert some common understanding between new and veteran drivers on this point there would be much less confusion as a result of the instruction process for beginners. As matters now stand instruction is now made more difficult than is necessary by placing the newcomer in traffic that does not favor him, and all drivers are more or less endangered by the unexpected appearance of persons who are just learning the ropes. "Investigations made by the American Automobile association with which the Chicago Motor club is affiliated," he says, "revealed the fact that many accidents are a direct result of lack of cooperation in this matter of designation of certain areas for instruction purposes. The club would like to receive suggestions for favorable localities in which begiru1ers might operate without danger to themselves or others."

It is in charge of C. W. Bradley, vice president, and includes on his staff a service engineer, H. T. East. Group meetings of employes are being held in the various territorial district of the company. · Their purpose is to impress upon them the importance of giving customers and others every attention. An officer of the company says on this point: "Employes of the Public Service company were quick to see that the Charles A. Coffin Award carried with it something more than honor, namely, an obligation to live up to the reputation the company had won. Britton I. Budd, president, in giving the employes a large measure of credit for the winning of the medal, pointed out that our efforts to render real service would have to be continued, and even increased, if we were to hold the high honor bestowed upon us. Many signs indicate that the members of the organization, from top to bottom, have accepted this obligation and intend to hold the place they have made for the company at the top. "It has been demonstrated that the word 'service' stands for more than a continuous supply of gas or electricity of suitable pressure. Good service is essential but it alone will not develop the good will of the public. These things . customers expect. pay for and have a right to dcmcu·ll, so it is only natural that they do not feel specially pleased upon receiving, them.

Grosvenor, who owns .and operates the Grosvenor Music House at 1022 Wilson avenue, Chicago, the largest music store in uptown Chicago is being congratulated on this, his first anniversary in his new toeation. Three years ago, Mr. Grosvenor decided that uptown Chicago needed a real music store and being firm in his convictions, opened a store at Broadway and Montrose. After two years of successful music merchandising to uptown music lovers, an opportunity to acquire much larger quarters on Wilson avenue presented itself and he opened what is generally regarded as the most beautiful outlying store anywhere in the United States. The outstanding reason for the tremendous success is attributed to the line of pianos sold by Mr. Grosvenor, the outstanding of which is the world renowned Hazelton bros., established in New York, 1849, Mr. Grosvenor having secured the exclusive Chicago distribution for this line of pianos and, it being necessary to dispose of great numbers, sells them at very close margin of profit.
