treme, his quiet force and dignity make one realize
that he is a man who quietly performs without the
hlare. of trumpets or the floating of flags. He is, in other '
words, a man who does things. This characteristic is pleasing
to the general public and so gratifying to those who seldom
come in contact with quiet efficiency. He is a man who leads,
yet does not proclaim it.
Mr. J. B. Cleveland, treasurer, is a man thoroughly at home
with the piano business. Progressive in all his methods, he
makes a valuable head. His experience is so broad as to pre
elude any possibility of even comparative failure. Successful *
in so many branches of the comprehensive work, he makes his
business a matter of careful supervision and activity.
Mr. James S. Holmes, vice-president, is a, man who has been
identified with the music industry for many years. His inti
mate association with the Henry & S. G. Lindeman Company as
vice-president of this world-famous piano manufacturing firm. *’
gives him unusual facilities and extensive knowledge of the art
of piano manufacture. Aside from his inestimable value as a ?
piano man. he is one of the most affable, genial num in the
trade. He give to the Cleveland-Manning Company the able
support of a -man who is eminently fitted for his place.
Mr. E. Wilder, sales manager, has had extensive experience
ns a salesman and sales manager. With years of familiarity with
his line he brings to the < 'leveland .Manning Company the rc
suits of this time so carefully devoted to this branch.’ |
