Convention to Be Held
In New York in July
As The Review goes to press the
Board of Control of the National As-
sociation of Music Merchants is meet-
ing at the Palmer House in Chicago.
At this meeting plans for the 1946
convention will be discussed and its
date determined. The reports of the
various committees will be read and
the members of the Board will be the
guests of the Chicago Piano and Organ
Association of which Henry D. Hew-
itt is now president, at a banquet in
the evening.
According to last reports the con-
vention will be held in New York this
year probably during the week of July
29th. It will probably be a four day
convention and meetings will be held
at such times as to not interfere with
the visiting of the exhibits. Although
the majority of prospective exhibitors
were in favor of holding the conven-
tion in Chicago the hotel situation is
such in that city that it has been
found impossible to do so and arrange-
ments have already been made tenta-
tively with the Hotel New Yorker.
