ly, shortly after the first of the year, it was announced
last week by Phil A. Lehman, president of the com-
pany. The concern is now 7 engaged in the process of
liquidating its piano business preparatory to entering
the radio field.
While no agreement has as yet been entered into
with any radio company, Mr. Lehman said he had
several leading lines under consideration, and that
the company would wholesale one of them, exclu-
sively, although several will be retailed.
The present quarters of the company, at 1101 Olive
street, in the heart of the business district of the city,
will be retained, Mr. Lehman added. He said that the
building will be easily adapted to the radio business,
and, due to its location, it would bei deal for the new
business.
