T may not be good policy to single
out any work done by any particu-
lar manufacturer, but I cannot help
calling your attention to the wonder-
ful piece of publicity offered to the
people of America in behalf of the
piano by the Baldwin Piano Com-
pany in their half-hour on the radio
called "At the Baldwin." This not
only helps the Baldwin Piano Com-
pany, but I feel sure that it helps
every piano man in the country, be-
cause the publicity was designed to
show the value of the piano in the
home, and the Baldwin Piano Com-
pany surely deserves our thanks for
an outstanding piece of work done
during the past year.—From the An-
nual Report of President C. D. Bond,
of the National Piano Manufacturers'
Association, read at the Convention
held in Chicago the first week in
June, 1929.
