Gentlemen:
Have just read your advertisement
"Sentiment in Business" which appeared in on*
of the trade papers.
That 1B one of the finest articles that
I have read lately. You have said more to the
music trade in the fewest words that I have yet
seen or heard-
I am almost self1 eh enough to say that I
am glad that the music dealers throughout the
country do not uiideretnad your philosophy. If
they did, I would only get one Kimball piano
where I now get a carload. You oould not sup- .
ply UB a l l .
To my mind the methods of the
House have almost immortalized I t .

small amount of receivable and book accounts.
The superintendent, Otto Lestina, stated that
there were in all about 1,600 pianos in various
stages at the factory, of which 369 are on casters
and can be finished at small cost. Of the re-
mainder, about two-thirds are grands and the
balance uprights, and to complete these would
require additional capital.
A creditors' committee advised the appoint-
ment of the same receiver, Mr. Frazee, in an
ancillary capacity in the State of Illinois, in
which capacity he could close the quarters at
305 South Wabash avenue, sell the second-
hands, and return the balance of the instru-
ments to Bluffton. He was requested to secure
court permission to have an audit of the books
made since December 31, 1927, so that the real
situation will be revealed. Further action re-
garding the business will depend largely upon
the audit. Judge Carpenter, however, has ap-
pointed Fred Hummell as ancillary receiver in
Illinois.
A committee consisting of Alfred L. Smith;
Joe Reed, Paragon Plate Works; H. C. John-
son, Cleveland Varnish Co.; C. D. Morgan, A.
C. Cheney, Piano Action Co.; Hal P. Shearer,
Splitdorf Radio Corp., and T. B. Coppick was
appointed to advise and work with the receiver.

Mr. Ludwig also paid tribute to the Chicago
Piano Club for the important part it played in
launching the first national band contest which
was held in Chicago. He stated that a great
deal of progress has been made in band work.
Through the courtesy of E. A. Hartman, of
the Chicago Conn Co., solo numbers were
rendered on various brass instruments by a
group of boys of the De La Salle School
schedule of assets and liabilities as prepared for
the receiver and the creditors at the meeting.
Nearly fifty creditors representing about 80
per cent of claims were present, as were the
receiver, W. M. Frazee of Rushville, Ind., and
his attorney. Although the schedules are not
complete, it was stated that the debts would
probably amount to $800,000 of which about
$30,000 is for wages. The assets consist chiefly
of plant, machinery, and pianos in process, less
claims and liens, together with a comparatively
