THE MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
KAISER:
You have wiped your bloody hobnails on
civilization's doormat for the last time!
Our khaki lads have greased your skids to
oblivion.
And we have helped them!
Do you remember the shower of steel-death
at Chateau-Thierry?
Parts of that were never-drawn Autopiano
strings —some was tempered metal driven with
a will into bone and sinew instead of our peace-
ful pin-blocks.
The name America, cast with iron into your
battle lines, came, in part, from Autopiano plates
that were-to-be and never were.
Our spruce of peaceful sounds, ribbed planes
of destruction that carried only sounds of terror
to your minions.
Ships that our side-gluers and case-makers
helped to fashion brought havoc across the
Atlantic to you.
And now—GO—while peaceful peoples once
more pursue their wonted trades.
Back into music will now be poured our
bountiful resources, and The Autopiano of free
AMERICA again "heard 'round the world."
