AN EXCELLENT MOVE TAKEN I5Y THE NATIONAL
PIANO MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION.
The following important letter has been
sent to all Piano Dealers' Associations of
the United States:
New York, Sept. 22, 1898.
To the Trade:
The National Piano Manufacturers' As-
sociation of America, at its first annual
meeting, passed the following resolution,
to which it desires specially to call the at-
tention of all members of the trade:
"Whereas, In the matter of fraudulent
tuners, regulators, etc., we believe indi-
vidual action futile in many cases, and
' 'Whereas, We believe that official action
on the part of this Association against
this evil would be productive of good re-
sults, be it
" Resolved, That fraudulent tuners, reg-
ulators, etc., shall be exposed by the As-
sociation officially, and that the Committee
on Complaints and Grievances be intrusted
with this matter, the said Committee to
confer with trade associations already es-
tablished in various cities as to means of
procedure, etc."
The gentlemen constituting the Com-
mittee on Complaints and Grievances, Mr.
N. Stetson, Chairman, 107 E. Fourteenth
street, New York; Mr. Chas. H. Parsons,
Fifth avenue and Fifteenth street, New
York; Mr. Robert Proddow, Southern
Boulevard and Alexander avenue, New
York, are now prepared to confer with
local trade associations in any city or indi-
vidual members of this Association, and
to receive, investigate and take action upon
any case or cases laid before them.
This Association desires to enlist the
hearty co-operation of the whole trade in
its endeavor to eradicate the "fraudulent
tuner, regulator, etc.," and thereby to pro-
tect its members, the dealer and the gen-
eral public from the serious damage and
losses caused by this class of parasites.
Very respectfully,
The Executive Committee of the
National Piano Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation of America.
