THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Strauch on Trade Conditions.
Peter D. Strauch, head of the firm of
Strauch Bros., referring to trade condi-
tions during a talk with The Review on
Thursday said: "Never since we began
business have we been working at a live-
lier rate than we are to-day. Our full en-
ergies are required to keep pace with the
demand."
When talking of piano-making as related
to kindred industries, Mr. Strauch re-
marked that manufacturers in the several
grades are, more than ever, according to
his observation, earnestly endeavoring to
keep up the dignity of their calling by
aiming to improve their products. "From
right to left among the manufacturers,"
said he, "there is a most commendable
spirit abroad. They are striving to im-
prove in every department. None is con-
tent to stand still. They are working
strenuously, as they should, along progres-
sive lines."
On the subject of recent political events
Mr. Strauch spoke earnestly and enthusi-
astically. " I look upon the result of the
presidential election," he remarked, " a s
the greatest blessing that could possibly
have been bestowed upon the United
States. Had it turned out otherwise, I
shudder to think of the disaster that would
have followed. The magnitude of the evil
we have escaped cannot be fully realized by
anyone It would have been overwhelm-
ing.
" T h e re-election of a Chief Executive
and Congress with sound views on finance
and other vital topics was the finishing
touch necessary to place the United States
on a pinnacle among and above all the na-
tions of the earth. This is now pre-emi-
nently the great country of the world. All
Eastern eyes are turned toward the West-
ern hemisphere. Whenever an important
international subject comes up for discus-
sion, the question now is: What does the
United States intend to do about it? "
No better demonstration of what can be
achieved by intelligent effort and worthy
ambition is needed than the success won
by the Vose & Sons Piano Co.
It is a policy worthy of emulation.
