SUPPLY BRANCHES OF THE INDUSTRY
Standard Pneumatic Action
Co.'s Convention Display
Showing of Oil Paintings Used in Advertising
Attracts Particular Attention From Many
Trade Visitors
Much favorable comment was brought about
during the convention in Chicago by the ex-
hibit of the Standard Pneumatic Action Co.
were exhibited, and formed an interesting side-
light to the regular display of Standard player
actions and the raw materials going into their
manufacture.
In commenting on the display of the national
advertising material, W. A. Mennie, vice-presi-
dent of the company, stated that members of
the trade had remarked on the splendid char-
acter of this work, and that the trade generally
seemed to appreciate the spirit of the Standard
Pneumatic's publicity and its unselfish aim to
tariff lowered. It is not understood that the
Canadian views are being considered at all,
however.
Technicians' Association
Enjoys Successful Year
A. K. Gutsohn, President of Association, De-
clares That Results of First Year's Efforts
Warrant Continued Activities
A. K. Gutsohn, president of the National
Piano Technicians' Association, stated this
week that the results of the Association's first
year were most encouraging, and that expres-
sions made by the trade at the convention and
since by letter have assured its continuance.
"Although the actual accomplishments of the
Association were not startling during its first
year," said Mr, Gutsohn to a representative of
The Review, "we feel that, in getting properly
organized, we have cleared the field for defi-
nite action during the coming season.
"The problems of organizing such a body,
appointing officers and committees, arranging
for suitable official stationery, calling meetings
and the like are manifold, but these things are
now in good running order. With the co-ope-
ration of the piano industry, I feel that the As-
sociation will soon prove a matter of pride for
everyone connected with it."
Wool Auctions Resume
BOSTON,
Standard Pneumatic Co. Convention Display
in suite 453-454 of the Drake Hotel. All of
the handsome oil paintings, which illustrated
the Standard Pneumatic's advertisements in the
Saturday Evening Post during the past year,
help create a wider demand for music. "Those
visiting the display left it," said Mr. Mennie,
"knowing a little better the meaning of the
expression, so often heard—'The Standard
Player Action is quality-built through and.
through.' "

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 29.—Differences of
The man who uses Behlen's Varnish
Crack Eradicator can afford to figure
lower, yet makes more profit on a re-
finishing job, than the man who does
not use it.
The reason—he saves the time, trouble
and expense of scraping off the old var-
nish and shellac and the finished job is
just as satisfactory, too—if not more so.

try it.

opinion on the part of the lumber interests in
the spruce-producing territory in the Northwest
have caused the United States Tariff Commis-
sion to deliberate on sending a committee to
some Puget Sound point to hear the views of
American lumbermen upon the tariff on logs.
The commission has received applications from
Northwestern mills which depend on Canada
for their raw stock and which they seek to im-
port at a lower rate of duty, and from those
who own timberlands in the United States seek-
ing a higher rate of duty than that now imposed
by the McCumber-Fordney Act. The lumber
