tant sales manager of the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, De

A. W. Angell, who recently became associated with the
Carder Piano Company, Atlanta, Ga., has been actively en-
gaged in the piano business for more than twenty-six years
and associated with several of the largest concerns of the
country. This long experience as piano salesman and man-
ager places Mr. Angell as an authority on pianos and a man
who knows American pianos very thoroughly.

Earl Billings, Jr., of the Everett Piano Company, resourceful
piano man of varied experience, covers wide ranges of terri-
tory when he goes "on the road" from time to time. However,
Mr. Billings is kept close to headquarters at South Haven
nowadays, partly by reason of the retirement of O. C. Stone
who for a long time was active in the marketing and distribu-
tion end of the Everett pianos. Mr. Stone is now interested
in other lines of work, most of his time being required in the
Eastern part of the country.

Mr. E. F. Story, president of the Story & Clark Piano Co.,
is enjoying to the full measure his winter home at Andura
Treasure Island, Osprey, Florida.
one of his own dealers, just so the idea is worthy of atten-
tion. On reaching Miami where he remained for a holiday
vacation he sent us this bit of rhyme:
From here in Miami
Permit me to say
I wish you a Merry
Christmas Day.
Also may I add a line
Regarding nineteen thirty-nine
I hope that prosperity, happiness too
For twelve full months will come to you.
Mr. Stewart believes that piano sales will be far greater in
1939 than they were in 1938 and that the conventional Grand
will maintain its position of preference.

H. A. Veatch, who had been with the Gulbransen Com-
pany for some time, engaged to take over the territory cover-
ing several midwestern states as far west as Michigan and
Indiana as general traveler in that territory for the Lester
Piano Company, which work he has been carrying on since
last November.
Mr. Veatch is highly pleased with his present connection
and finds the Lester pianos a formidable line. Mr. Veatch's
headquarters are the Lester Piano Company's general offices,
1633 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, but his home town still
remains Chicago.

Hugh Stewart, Vice-President and Sales Manager of the
Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, DeKalb, Illinois, is almost a
regular visitor to the Wurlitzer piano trade, east, west, south,
and north. Mr. Stewart's particular piano sales hobby is to
keep in close touch with his dealers, and "his dealers" means
the entire Wurlitzer piano-selling family.
Mr. Stewart is of the observant kind; an individual as lia-
ble to grasp an idea from some Wurlitzer competitor as from
