ill's Observes
70th Birthday
Will's Music store, among the
older of Salem Duslnesses and
regarded by Saul Janz, present
proprietor, as being the oldest
store devoted exclusively to mu
sic on the Pacific coast, is now
observing its 70th anniversary.
Mr. Janz recalls that George
C. Will opened his first store in
the Stewart block on commer
cial street in Salem some time
during 1879. Previously Will
had been in the gun business in
Albany.
During those early days in Sb
lem the store stocked sewing
machines and musical instru
ments and not infrequently Mr.
Will loaded his merchandise
aboard a wagon and peddled his
wares through neighboring com
munities. Sometimes he was out
for days at a time but he always
returned with the wagon empty.
About 1880 the business was
moved into the Murphy build
ing, then known as the Griswold
block. Salem city directory for
1890 gives the store its previous
address in the Stewart block
and Mrs. Margaret A. Will says
the store was returned to its
former location in the late
1880s. Very shortly thereafter
the present location was ac
quired and a music store has
been in operation at State street
for nearly 60 years. No other
Salem enterprise is known to
have occupied a retail location
for so long an interval.
George C. Will, at the age of
85, died July 23, 1944. He was
born at Bethel, Mo March 15,
1859. In 1863 he crossed the
plains with his parents and be
came a member of the Aurora
community. He was a member
of several Salem civic organiza
tions. A few months after the death
of Mr. Will, Saul Janz, who has
had 25 years of experience in
the music business here, first
with Sherman, Clay and later
with Mr. Will, acquired the busi
ness. In August of 1948 Vernon
Wiscarson, former superintend
ent of instrumental music in Sa
lem schools, became associated
with the firm.

Forkers.
