priced pianos on the market and has
been built especially for price-conscious
customers.
The new instrument is a full 88-note,
has a direct-blow action, 3 pedals, re-
inforced heavy hammers and a hand-
rubbed lacquer finish. It is also built
with a sliding fall board and has a 5-
ply wrest plank. It is finished in ma-
hogany and American walnut. The
three dimensions of this instrument are
39 inches high, 561/4 inhes wide and
231/9 inches deep.
"Due to the low price of this piano,"
said Mr. White, "we are anticipating
a large demand for it and are prepared
to furnish this piano to the dealers
throughout the country at short no-
tice. Besides being low in price, this
piano contains all the salient features
for which Kohler & Campbell instru-

ness can reflect the spirit of a religious
season through music.
A group of Choir boys from St.
Thomas Church under the direction of
T. Frederick H. Candlyn, presented a
program of secular and sacred music
in the lounge of the bank during the
noon hour A Knabe piano was used
for accompanying the choir.
In connection with this concert Wil-
lard K. Denton, president of the bank
said: "America was founded upon prin-
ciples of freedom, religion and thrift
and it seems appropriate that a savings
bank should sponsor a religious pro-
gram.
"If nations as well as individuals
guided their decisions in accordance
with the principles basic to all great
religions some of the problems that
confront us now as citizens of the
world would never have arisen while
others could be solved easily."
World of Enchantment" is included
with each member's Kit. These posters
are offered free to NAMM members for
use in store and window display decora-
tion, distribution to Schools, Churches.
Public Buildings and other cooperating
merchants. A wide distribution of the
poster insures public awareness of Na-
tional Music Week.
A one column newspaper mat, re-
producing the NAMM poster is furn-
ished with each Kit. This "drop-in"
ad mat utilizes little space in the deal-
ers newspaper advertisement but serves
to remind readers of Music Week.
The Kit is another NAMM member
service and available only to members.
Schools, Churches or other institutions
desiring posters should request them
from their local NAMM member.
