ASKS PUBLIC OPINION IN THE MATTER
OF PIANO ADVERTISING THAT APPEALS BEST
The annual meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Music Industries Chamber
of Commerce will be held at the headquar-
ters of the Chamber, 45 W6st Forty-fifth
street, New York, on Thursday, May 19, at
which time the annual reports of the various
department officers and department heads will
be presented and acted upon. Although the
income of the Chamber for the year was,
naturally, seriously curtailed, the general
manager, Harry Meixell, has accomplished
wonders in budgeting and financing, with the
result that the organization ends its fiscal
yeaT with deficiencies wiped out, all bills paid
and all commitments taken care of.
At the meeting plans will be made for
carrying on the work of the Chamber for
the coming year, based on a budget in keep-
ing with the times and conditions, and with
the important departments functioning as
heretofore.

organization to be held in the offices of the
Music Industries Chamber of Commerce,
New York, on May 19, at 10 a. m., when
the annual reports of the officers and com-
mittee heads will be presented.

suggestions from others, and time after time
he has benefited through the original ideas
of Vice-President Frank Grannis. In the

Steinway & Sons last month filed suit
against the Steinway Organ Co., the Bronx,
in the Bronx Supreme Court, to have the
latter restrained from the use of the name
Steinway in its business. It is charged that
the defendant company has been using the
name Steinway fraudulently in order to profit
from the good will of Steinway & Sons.
