REDEW|LL CO. HAS
HELPED To DEVELOP
MUSIC IN ARIZONA

During the course of development
fof amusements in Phoenix, the name
ERedewill is somehow closely allied to
| the subject of music, without which
kno amusement is complete. The past
/ 40 years has seen a wide variety of
ATTRACTIONS to which the public has
flocked. In the carrier days. it Isl
TRUE, amusements were of a wilder
nature, but today they are clean, and
the strongest factor in putting
across the various attractions has
been the best music procurable-
The Redewill Music company is
known as .'the firm that made Ari-
iona musical" and the fact that Ari-
iona has more musical clubs and So
cieties than any other state in the
union. for the population, suggests
also "the firm that keeps Arizona
musical
Very few business firms give as
much of their time and money for the
sake Of the development of their line
of business as this old piano firm.
Looking back, one finds great artists
such as Nordica, Tetrazzini, Schu-
mann Heinck, Godowsky, Bauer and
companies such as the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra of nearly 100
musicians, have been induced to come
to Phoenix under the personal guar
antee of Eugene Redewil1, owner of
the Redewill Music company.
The musical propaganda of this
firm is far reaching, not only in
Phoenix but all over the state of
Arizona. Musical publications of the
concern are used all over the United
States, and royalties are paid it on
music that is staple and has been
listed continuously for over Is years.
The local development of enter
tainment started over 80 years go
when A. Redewill, founder of the
Redewill Music company, gave enter
tainments for church fairs, charity
benefits and civic improvements.
For instance, the Catholic church in
Tucson needed a pipe organ-Mr.
Redewil1 not only secured a good in
strument at cost, but got up several
concerts and entertainments which
In those days were conceded to be
high class, and paid for the organ
out of these funds. The Redewill
policy has always been an open and
above board method; first to make
the community musical, by giving
time and money, then derive the
returns from the people who were
thus made musical in spite of them
Selves. LOOKING Ddck over the nlS-
tory Of piano selling in Arizona, there
are few IL any other concerns who
have lived to stay and benefit COM
munity in musical way such as the
Redewill Music company has done.
Looking back over the public places
of amusement, it is interesting to
note that when the Elks theater was
erected some % years ago. the Rede-
will company made a donation of the
Mason & Hamlin piano that is still
doing service in the orchestra pit of
that theater. There is not a hall,
theater or club of general nature that
has not been supplied with pianos
from the Redewill Music company.
Eugene Redewill, sole owner of the
company. is musician of authority
whose opinions and writings are read
in the leading periodicals, and is COM
missioner for Arizona of the Ma
tiona1 Association for the Advance
ment of Music and the National As
ISOLATION of Piano Merchants oil
America. He is one of the foremost
persons interested in music in the
state and has earned the title for his
company the firm that made Ari-
IONA musical. !"
