REQUEST FOR DATA ON PIANOS OF 1933-1934
It was intended to issue the current (1933) edition of the BUYERS' GUIDE FOR AMERICAN
PIANOS at the beginning of this year but returns to questionnaires for new data and revision of former
records have shown so many changes and indications of still further important changes and suggestions for
discontinuances of manufacturing that it was deemed advisable to postpone publication until the beginning
of the autumn season when more definite reports would be forthcoming and therefore, more permanent rec-
ords could be shown in the publication.
Fresh proofs are now mailed to manufacturers with a request that they make all corrections, changes,
etc., that should be made: changes in corporate officials, eliminations of piano names, discontinuances of
manufacturing, etc., etc., so that the records of the piano manufacturing industry as they are at this time may
be shown in the 1933 issue now in preparation.
