Over 100 Members of New York Piano Trade
Attend Annual Get-Together Luncheon at
Hotel Commodore on Thursday
The annual Year-End Luncheon of the New
York Piano Trade was held on Thursday of
this week at the Hotel Commodore with an
attendance of over one hundred, and proved
to be one of the most pleasant of the series of
such parties that have been held for a number
of years past.
The speaker of the day was Theodore E.
Steinway, president of Steinway & Sons, who
talked for some time in lighter vein, and then
delivered a message of optimism to the mem-
bers of the industry present. He declared that
the piano men represented the old guard of the
music industry, and that the old guard never
retreated. What was needed, he said, was more
courage and harder work, which would serve to
put the piano trade on its former prosperous
basis. Mr. Steinway mentioned in the course
of his talk that Byron H. Collins, manager of
the retail department of Steinway Hall, had
passed the million-dollar mark, in Steinway
sales.
The other speaker was Hermann Irion, presi
dent of the Music Industries Chamber of Com-
merce, who talked briefly of the value of asso-
ciation work in aiding in the progress of the
industry, and extended his best wishes for a
successful year to come. During the dinner
there was some very acceptable entertainment.
Prior to the speaking, those in attendance
stood a moment in silence in memory of mem-
bers of the trade who had passed away during
the year, they being Francis Connor, H. Paul
Mehlin and Ernest Urchs.
The arrangements for the luncheon were, a>
usual, in the hands of Ben H. Janssen, A
Dalrymple and Albert Behning, and the whole
affair was most successful in every particular
It was announced during the luncheon that
George Urquhart, president of the American
Piano Co., who was scheduled to make an ad-
dress, was confined to his home with a severe
cold and was unable to attend.

SALT
LAKL
CITY,
UTAH,
December
2i.—The
Mountain States Radio Trades' Association
and the Utah Association of Music Industries—
the former an active organization and the latter
somewhat inactive of late—were consolidated
this week and will hereafter be known under
the joint name of the Mountain States Music
and Radio Trades' Association. G. A. Rogers,
Strevell-Patterson Hardware Co., a wholesale
house of Salt Lake City interested in music
and radio, president of the Radio Association,
will continue as president of the combined as-
sociations, while Capt. Harold F. Jennings, per-
manent secretary of the Radio Association, will
continue as secretary. It was felt that music
and radio were now so closely allied in both a
musical and merchandising sense that no good
purpose would be achieved by continuing the
two organizations separately.
