An elaborate program is being arranged for
the banquet and although all the details are not
yet complete it has been announced that the
featured artist will be Marie Tiffany, popular
Metropolitan Opera Co. artist, who has con-
sented to sing. An effort will be made to have
the entire banquet programmed broadcast over
the radio.
It is probable that the balance of the time will
be spent in routine association business, of which
instruments to be held at Aeolian Hall under
the same auspices on Monday evening, June 8,
when a number of prominent artists will appear
upon the program.
The gathering of the musical merchandise
men bids fair to be the most heavily attended
that has ever been held.

and Wednesday, June 8 and 9, and one of the
principal matters to come up before that body
will be the proposal sponsored by President
Max J. deRochemont for an elaborate co-oper-
ative advertising campaign to arouse a more
general public interest in the piano and also to
acquaint prospective piano purchasers with ac-
tivities of the bait advertising.
Although full details of the plan have not yet
been made public, it is understood to be quite
an elaborate one and will give the manufacturers
W. J. Haussler
President, Musical Merchandise
Association
something to think about seriously, whether or
not they see fit to endorse it fully.
It is likely, too, that there will come up for
discussion the question of raising funds for the
support of the Chamber of Commerce on a ba-
sis that will prove equitable to all members of
the manufacturing trade and several suggestions
to this end have already been presented.
The Musical Supply Association will hold its
annual meeting and election of officers on Tues-
day afternoon, June 8, in Room D at the Com-
modore. A considerable portion of the meeting
will be devoted to a discussion of credit mat-
ters in which the supply men are much inter-
ested. It is felt that this matter is of impor-
tance not only to the supply men, but to those
of their customers who are likely to suffer direct-
ly or indirectly through the careless granting of
ci edits.
