Reasons for Selecting Steinway and Lyon
& Healy Pianos
H. H. Fleer, vice-president ol Lyon & Healy,
has received a testimonial letter from Herbert
Witherspoon, president of the vocal department
of the Chicago Musical College, explaining why
the Steinway was chosen when this institution

the Steinway and Lyon & Healy pianos.
He writes, "The contract just made with you,
whereby the Steinway and Lyon & Healy pianos
become the official pianos of the Chicago Musi-
cal College, is a source of the greatest satisfac-
tion to me. I have for a great many years
been associated with the Steinways, both in a
business and social way, and 1 used Steinway
pianos in my New York studios for many years.
"In selecting the Steinway and Lyon & Healy
pianos for use in the college I feel confident
that we have chosen the best pianos made any-
where in the world, and I believe that both
teachers and students will realize what a great
privilege they have in using these splendid in-
struments in tlu'ir teaching and study."

Senate Committee Approves
Instalment Provisions
Agrees to House Provisions on Reporting of
Instalment Sales, but Refuses to Make Them
Retroactive
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 1$.—The Senate
Finance Committee on April 17 agreed to the
House provisions regarding income tax on in-
stalment sales, but rejected a suggestion to
make them retroactive.
The bill, as passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives in December, provided that "under
regulations prescribed by the Commissioner
with the approval of the Secretary, a person
who regularly sells or otherwise disposes of
personal property on the instalment plan may
return as income therefrom in any taxable year
that proportion of the instalment payments
actually received in that year which the gross
profit realized or to be realized when payment
is completed bears to the total contract price."
With respect to changes from the accrual to
the instalment basis it was provided that "if a
taxpayer elects for any taxable year to report
his net income on the instalment basis, then in
computing his income for the year of change
or any subsequent year, amounts actually re-
ceived during any such year on account of
sales made in any prior year shall not be ex-
cluded,"
The tax bill will be reported to the Senate
by the Finance Committee about May 1, it is
now anticipated.
