Thirty-eight years ago Mr.. J. W. Jen-
kins tablished himself IN the music
business at SIS Main Street
Kansas City at that time was town
Just getting ready to put on city eiotnes-
Mr. Jenkins had been selling pianos and
organs in Illinois and wishing to grow
up with the country. selected Kansas City
as town of great possibilities Mr.
Jenkins splendid enthusiasm, his pract1-
cal experience and his good reputation
with manufacturers were his principal
assets of business
The location, SIS Main Street, was then
in the heart of the business district Mr.
jenkins opened modest store, occupy
ing the rear part of the first floor, the
front part being used by another line oil
business. leaving a small rental for Mr.
jenkins to pay. The stock at the opening
consisted of five organs, two pianos and
a small showcase containing VIOLIN
strings, small goods and a few boxes of
sheet music.
Mr. Jenkins was full of industry, ap-
probation, and possessed with a fine idea
of economy. The overhead expenses were
light. Mr. Jenkins kept in touch with
prospects and injected into the business
a wonderful personal interest In his
early days he had spent many years
teaching and studying music and he was
a thorough master of the business.
As the business grew, Miss Florence
Jenkins daughter of Mr.. Jenkins and
Mr. J. W. Jenkins. jr., now president of
the concern. connected themselves with
the institution
In 1880 the founder of the house died
Just before this two other sons engaged
in the business, these being Mr.. c.. w.
Jenkins, now treasurer, and Mr.. F. B.
Jenkins now vice-president-
In 1891 the house of jenkins was
moved to 921 Main Street under the
name of J. w. Jenkins Sons Music Com
pany, where it continued to grow and OK
pand and it was not long until the sec
ond floor adjoining 921 Main Street and
two lofts across the street were added.
Besides this. a basement running through
to Walnut Street was used for storage,
repair shop, etc.
1t had always been an ideal of the
House of Jenkins to give service and
quality at the lowest possible price, and
these elements were soon recognized and
the business continued to grow until in
1901 a 6-story building was erected at
1913 and 1o15 Walnut Street especially
for the use of Jenkins business.

PROFIT TAKING CAUSES
LOSSES in STOCK LIST
Rumors of Break with Germany Have
Depressing Effect.

By the International News service.)
New York, Dec. Z-wan Street had
nothing more serious to worry about to
day than a possible diplomatic break with
Germay. This combined with its dis
pleasure at the dividend increases Of
the Porphyry coppers caused traders to
take profits. This carried the market
down In the late trading so that nearly
every stock on the list showed net
loss for the day.
Before this proft-taking wave swept
through the Street some high prices
were recorded. Atlantic Gulf and West
Indies sold up to a new high record
price on rumor that the earnings Were
such that by June 30 next there would
be so q share for the common stock
In the Treasury. The strength Of this
stock caused good buying Of the Mer-
camille Marines
With regard to the copper stocks II
can only be said that traders must be
hard to please If not pleased with what
was done today. The copper companies
are wise in reserving large supplies OF
cash Much better use can be made
of earnings than in paying them al

PROGRESS on the merger is rapid and
Official announcement should be made
within six weeks at the latest 1t Is
now said that American Smelters may
figure in the deal to a greater extent
than was intended In the beginning.
Bankers and brokers tried hard today
to direct speculation into the rails. They
succeeded admirably 50 far as the low
priced ones were concerned. New high
records were made in several Of the
reorganized companies. Speculation ir
Wheeling and Lake Erie when issued
was heavy. The sharp advance In this
stock with which the market opened
was due to the purchase Of a block OF
severef- thousand shares for the account
Of one operator. The only profits taken
were for causal traders.

LOWEST IN BOISE

This Is the coolest November day ex-
perienced at Boise in almost 20 years,
or since Nov. 80, 1895. The lowest
temperature shown by the weather bu-
reau instruments this morning was 7
degrees above zero. By 1870 p. m, the
temperature had risen only to 81 de-
grees, and the official forecast is for
continued cold weather.
The lowest temperature ever record
ed at Boise in November was 10 below
zero, on the twenty eighth in 1896.
The cold wave is not confined to
this region, but is widespread. The
lowest temperature shown on the
weather map today was 26 below zero
at Sheridan. Wyoming. This is the
lowest November temperature of record
at that place. Rapid City, s. D., also
reported the lowest temperature of re-
cord for November, IL below zero.
Temperatures below zero prevail from
western Canada southward over Colo
rado, and freezing weather reaches
well into Texas. Killing frost was re-
ported from Portland, and heavy frost
from the Sacramento valley in Cali
