PRESTO BUYERS'
GUIDE NOTICE
The 1928 Edition of Presto Buyers' Guide,
the "Book That Sells Pianos," is already en-
tirely exhausted. It is the second time in the
twenty-nine years since the book first ap-
peared that the demand has been such as to
render this announcement necessary. A lim-
ited number of preceding" editions may still be
had, and the issues of 1925 and 1926 are so
nearly up-to-date as to be almost equally use-
ful in the hands of salesmen. The "Premium
Edition" also is good for selling- purposes, and
it may be had for 25 cents a copy—one-half
the regular price.
The entirely new Presto Buyers' Guide ior
1929 is in preparation and will be ready in Jan-
uary. Advance orders, especially for quanti-
ties, should be placed early. Subscribers to
Presto, the American Music Trade Weekly,
will receive a copy of the new Presto Buyers
Guide for 1929 without charge as soon as it
appears.

FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
INDIANAPOLIS MAN A WINNER.
A name that flashed up in the news of the day here
on January 3 was that of J. Harold Brown, music

Ind., for earnestness of work and its wide range,
especially in orchestration. Mr. Brown wins a bronze
medal and $100.
OLD STRAD RIDDLE "SOLVED."
A news story from Bergamo, Italy, says "the secret
of Stradivarius, maker of the world's most precious
violins, is claimed to have been unearthed by a dealer
in old furniture after two centuries. The antiquarian
in going over an old desk which he had just bought
found a secret drawer. In this drawer, he says, there
were a number of manuscripts of the Cremona mas-
ter, including a letter to a priest, who was a friend
of his, describing his method of treating wood and
preparing varnish. The dealer endeavored to sell his
find to a violin maker of Milan, but the authorities
intervened and sequestered all the documents. Strad-
ivarius died in 1728 and the priest moved from Cre-
mona to Bergamo in 1730. The desk was sold at
auction after his death. It was understood that the
manuscripts included materials for an autobiography
by the violin maker."
