MUSICAL MERCHANDISE
Conducted By Thomas W. Bresnahan
Bases Optimism for 1929
on Growing Music Interest
J. J. D. Taylor, of Waverly Musical Products
Co., Believes Development of Musical Appre-
ciation in Home Presages Much Good
J. J. D. Taylor, secretary of the Waverly
Musical Products Co., Inc., is thoroughly opti-
mistic regarding the immediate future for those
having to do with music or the production and
sale of music-producing instruments. In com-
menting upon the growing appreciation of music
generally Mr. Taylor said:
"The year 1929 can be looked forward to
with optimism by those engaged in affairs
musical.
"America has been awakened to the fact that
after all the home is the starting point for any
good that may accrue to the country as a whole,
through the proper conduct of the individual in
the home life.
"Music has time and time again been declared
the outstanding medium through which home
life can more readily be made happier and the
individual become more enlightened and con-
tented.
"Music is the headlight of humanity as it
brightens the way with a clearer vision to be
gained of things worth while. It is a light that
can be dimmed by lack of appreciation but
never extinguished.
"The many factors at work to stimulate in-
terest and bring about a more widespread
appreciation of music are showing results."
House to Discuss Duties
on Musical Instruments
WASHINGTON, D. C, December 10.—Changes in
the duties on musical instruments will be taken
up by the House Committee on Ways and
Means beginning February 15, when the sun-
dries schedule of the tariff act is reached during
the hearings on general revision of the tariff,
which are to begin January 7.
The hearings are expected to extend for
probably two months, and in order that the
work of the committee in drafting the new bill
may be expedited it has been split up into a
number of sub-committees, each in charge of
one schedule, the sub-committee in charge of
the sundries schedule consisting of Representa-
tives Frank Crowther, of New York, chairman;
Charles C. Kearns, of Ohio, and Harry A.
Estep, of Pennsylvania.

Plans Are Being Rapidly Completed
for Coming Spring Fair at Leipzig
Expected That There Will Be Over 11,000 Exhibits From Many Countries and an
Attendance of More Than 200,000 People Looked For
Work is progressing rapidly in the lining up
of exhibits for the Leipzig Trade Fair to be
held from March 3 to 13, 1929, and which
promises again to be the largest goods ex-
change in the world, the showing of products
subsequent orders greatly increased the total.
The Spring fair will have three times as many
exhibits, and ten times as many buyers as any
pre-war fair. America will be adequately rep-
resented by some seventy significant exhibits

from all parts of the world, including practically
every type of musical instrument. There is
nothing new or experimental about the Leipzig
Fair, for it has been in existence some 700
years and attracts buyers from every section of
the civilized world. This year, for instance,
there will be in excess of 11,000 exhibits rep-
resenting twenty-four countries, and it is antici-
pated that fully 200,000 buyers from forty-four
countries will attend.
Housed in the largest exhibition buildings in
the world, the fair forms a great "city within
a city," organized from long experience for the
convenience of all. The displays in each divi-
sion form a cross-section of an entire industry,
often under a single roof. Months of travel to
widely scattered world markets are thus elimi-
nated. Special preparations have been made to
serve visitors this year in the matter of bank-
ing facilities and the arrangement for packing
and shipping goods.
At the last Spring fair more than half a bil-
lion dollars' worth of goods were sold within
a week, of which one-half were for export, and
of its leading products, and 2,200 buyers from all
parts of the United States will attend.
One of the outstanding features of the
Spring fair will be the display of building ma-
terials, machinery, iron and steel products with
2,000 exhibits. The Toy fair with 817 exhibits
will be the largest of the world. There will be
720 exhibits of glassware and ceramics, 647 ex-
hibits in the textile divisions, 535 household
goods and 716 exhibits of books. The exhibition
of rayon and textiles in general will be the
largest ever assembled in Europe.
Detailed information concerning the fair may
be obtained by addressing the Leipzig Trade
Fair, Inc., 11 West Forty-second street, New
York.
