Approves of System Recently Adopted.
J'he Standardization Committee, National Associa-
tion of Musical Instrument and Accessories Manu-
facturers, of which Henry C. I.omb is chairman, pre-
sented a report last week.
"The National Association of Musical Instrument
and Accessories Manufacturers has put its stamp of
approval on standardization by the adoption of quality
standards for one of its principal products, the ukulele,
and its program calls for the extension of this work
to the other members of the group of fretted instru-
ments, viz., the guitar, mandolin and banjo," says
the report.
"The outward symbol for thus subscribing to these
principles is the 'Standard Approved' label adopted
some time ago, which is intended to be affixed to such
instruments or other products of the industry as pass
the tests prescribed by the Association. It is to be

earnestly hoped that the use of this lahel will receive
proper support hy the members.
"The importance of the standard label from the
sales-promotional point of view is apparent. As time
goes on, the buying public is becoming more and
more critical and exacting in its scrutiny of the mer-
chandise that is being offered. The days of bom-
bastic advertising and high-sounding claims that do
not square with the facts are ncaring their end. The
people are demanding 'value received' for their money.
There is no better way to gain their confidence and to
hold it than by making goods up to definite standards
approved by competent authority and then submit-
ting them for certification in the manner proposed.
By so doing, the musical merchandise industry will
greatly enhance its standing in the business world,
will permanently eradicate inferior merchandise and
will assure itself of increasingly profitable opera-
tion."
