ization. As these orders are all for early deliv-
ery, none of them later than May 1, it would
seem that the piano manufacturer is planning
large production of this type of piano during
1926.

elected vice-president and treasurer. The other
officers of the company were re-electd.
H. E. Lawrence has been identified with Stand-
ard Pneumatic Action Co. practically since 1919,
when he entered the service of the company as
advertising manager. From 1923 until August
of last year he assumed entire charge of the ad-
vertising and sales promotion department of the
Kohler Industries, and later joined the Standard.
