Paul B. Klugh, General Chairman, Stimulating
Interest by Mailing 30,000 Window Hang-
ers to Dealers of the Country.
Tuesday, September 18, has been designated as
National Radio Festival Day to be observed all over
the nation by radio men and radio fans. Its observa-

The Banquet Broadcast and Radio Festival are
likewise the high lights of the Radio Week which

dealers an opportunity to turn the spotlight which
the fair and the broadcast provides, on their products
for six days, September 17-22.
General Chairman Paul B. Klugh is arranging to
stimulate the interest of dealers and listeners in the
Radio Industries Banquet broadcast, National Radio
Festival, etc., by mailing 30,000 radio dealers a hand-
some two-colored window hanger.
It is planned to have more stations participate in
the broadcast of the Fifth Radio Industries Banquet
than were ever hooked together before.
The program which is to be broadcast will be one
of the most costly ever put on the air. Artists who
provide the entertainment will be selected from among
the most notable in America.

NEW YORK ELEVATED HIGHWAY.
PLEASURE THE BASIS
The city of New York has ordered an elevated
OF MUSICAL ADVANCEMENT highway to be built along the Hudson River shore
from 59th street over the 60th street yards of the
New York Central Railroad to a connection with 72nd
street at Riverside drive. Action on the road from
Canal street to 59th street was put off pending nego-
tiations with the Central. New York has needed just
such a motor highway for many years, but politics
has held back the improvement. The new drive
will be a boon for the great piano factories located
along 12th avenue and 10th avenue—the Kohler In-
dustries groups, the Weser Bros , the Tonk plant, the
Wessell, Nickel & Gross action works, Becker Bros.,
Hardman, Peck & Co., and a host of others. New
York has been notoriously slow in providing adequate
north and south drives along Manhattan—so slow
that the pedestrian has to curse inwardly at every
crossing on account of the long waits if he is headed
across the island. New York, Chicago and Detroit
are all talking of erecting second-story sidewalks the
whole cut as tl\e solution of the pedestrian problem;
they're coming as soon as politics can be shoved
aside. The first c'ty to adopt them will take forward
strides by leaps and bounds.
But Only One Child in a Good Many Has a Good
Piano on Which to Practice.
Piano dealers of Chicago are sponsoring the cam-
paign of advertising pianos that is being conducted
in the great metropolis of the Middle West at the
present time. Under the head of "That Child May Be
Your Child," the following straight talk appeared in
the Daily News, Chicago, on Wednesday of this week:
"One child in many becomes a good musician." Yes,
and one child in many has a good piano on which to
practice.
That child, indeed, will stand out among a multi-
tude when later years exhibit the full fruit of a nat-
ural unhampered development. And not the addition
to personal charm alone will be the outcome, but the
personal pleasure of commanding one of the very
springs of human happiness.
Pleasure, in fact, is the basis of advancement in
musical study. And at the root of this pleasure is
proper equipment—such as a good modern piano.
Do not seek to lure your children to musical achieve-
ments with an untuned, age-worn piano. See to it
that a first-rate instrument, pleasing to their sensitive
ears, responsive to their little hands, is theirs. Your
old piano, if unfit, will still help you in the purchase
of a new one. Dealers who advertise in the Daily
News will be glad to discuss the matter with you.
The Steinway and other world-famous pianos are
advertised by J. W. Jenkins Sons Music Company,
Kansas City, Mo., in the Christian Science Monitor,
as well as Duo-Arts, Orthophonic Viclrolas, Electro-
las, Victor records, sheet music, music books and
Harwood band and orchestra instruments
