DEATH OF ERNEST N. SMITH.
Ernest N. Smith, general manager of the Milli-
gan Sales Co., Des Moines, la., died last week
as the result of an operation for appendicitis.
At the time he was taken ill he was exploiting
a piano sale at the warerooms of P. C. Peuser
at Scranton, Pa. His remains were brought
from Scranton to his home in Des Moines, la.,
and the funeral on April 21 was under the
auspices of the Elks and Masons, of which he
was a member.
SELLS OFF BANKRUPT STOCK.
William Anzinger, who purchased the entire
stock of the bankrupt P. E. Gross Piano Co.,
Springfield, O., has disposed of the whole line
at special sale, without removing the pianos
from the Gross Co. warerooms, and is said to
have netted a substantial profit.
MAY ACCEPT INVITATION.
The Boston Music Trades Association, as mem-
bers of the Massachesetts State Board of Trade,
have been invited to send a delegate to the In-
ternational Congress of Chambers of Commerce
and Industrial Associations, to be held in Lon-
don, June 21-22, and will very likely take ad-
vantage of the invitation.

Change in By-Laws.
President Droop, in his address, will recom-
mend some important changes in the by-laws of
the association, which, if adopted, will unques-
tionably exert an important influence upon the
future of the association. It would be unfair to
Mr. Droop at this date to give out these proposed
changes. They come as a result of his careful
study of the many important conditions which
surround the association and the entire trade.
The business sessions of the convention have
been arranged so as to insure the greatest atten-
dance without interfering with the pleasures or
the visiting of the exhibition, and it is assured
that the business sessions will be conducted with
a spirit insuring the greatest amount of interest.
The local entertainment committee have pro-
vided a veritable "continuous performance" for
the entertainment of the ladies, as well as the
members, when not occupied with the business
sessions or at the exposition.
The railroad lines and steamboat companies
leading to Richmond are offering special conces-
sions in rates to those who wish to make the
trip. Secure your certificate when purchasing
ticket and turn it over to the secretary on your
arrival in Richmond.
Invitations for 1911 Convention.
Secretary Putnam reports that Edmund Gram,
president of the newly organized local assciation
of Milwaukee, has written as follows:
"I am pleased to inform you that I have been
successful in organizing a local association and
have also received their endorsement to extend
an invitation to the N. A. P. D. of A. to hold its
next convention in our city. With our new audi-
torium, which is one of the best in the United
States, our city being so centrally located, and
having splendid hotel accommodations, there
ought to be nothing in the way to prevent the
convention coming to Milwaukee."
The city of Chicago has also come forward
It is safe to say that one of the most interest-
ing exhibits to be found in the big exhibition
building at Richmond during the piano conven-
tions will be that of the Gram-Richtsteig Piano
Co,, Milwaukee, Wis. It will demonstrate what
brains, experience and energy can accomplish in
a very short time. It is less than a year and a
half since the first Gram-Richtsteig piano was
shipped from the company's factory, yet they are
producing a line of instruments that have attract-
ed wide attention in the trade because of their
general excellence and superior musical merits,
and the demand has reached proportions which
is already taxing the capacity of their factory.
They not only reflect Max Richtsteie's long ex-
perience as a scientific piano manufacturer and
expert scale draughtsman, but the exterior ap-
pearance of all the styles is exceedingly "classy"
and calculated to appeal to people of discriminat-
ing taste.
