THE KRELL PIANO IN BROOKLYN.
Some time this month W. O. Hoyt & Son will
open piano warerooms at the corner of Broadway
and Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, where they will
handle the Krell piano as their leader. Through
this establishment a thorough canvas for busi-
ness will be made throughout Long Island, as lit-
tie effort will be made to work up Brooklyn trade.
Both members of the firm are practical piano
men, and R. F. Hoyt, the junior member, is a.
composer of some prominence.

of the delegates, and has aroused the opposition

of certain private concerns, which may be injured
by its adoption, and they have been doing active
missionary work against it.
The indications now are that more than three
hundred delegates, representing credit men's as-
sociations in twenty-two cities, will be present at
the convention.
The fight in favor of the credit co-operation
plan will probably be led by Marcus M. Marks,
president of the Clothiers' Association, which
has a most successful credit system working in
its own trade. He will be supported by the repre-
sentatives of other trades which have adopted
the co-operative credit reporting system, such as
the hatters, the furriers, the paint trade, and
others. The plan is to establish a sort of central
exchange or clearing house in each city under
the auspices of the Credit Men's Association,
where information can be exchanged between the
various trade bureaus, and a complete record kept
of the tradesmen who are seeking credit in that
territory. At present, for instance, the members
of the Clothiers 1 Association can find out to a dol-
lar the purchases of any retail merchant in the
clothing line, and can tell if he is exceeding his
legitimate consuming powers. If the man deals
also in hats or shoes they can find out nothing
about this phase of his business, nor can the haf-
ters or shoe manufacturers find out what he has
been doing in the clothing line. The plan to be
considered at the Credit Men's Convention pro-
vides that on application to the central bureau
any of the subscribing trades can receive the re-
port of all the other trades on any customer. The
plan has been worked out in detail, and was sub-
mitted to a committee, which has been consider-
t h e islands
