A new system of controlled circulation of
air is also to be used which is a distinct
advance, providing a distribution of air-flow,
which is as intense at the very center of the
lumber-stack as in any other part. This
arrangement permits rapid drying and gives
more uniform results in the initial drying
operation than is possible by any other
method.
The kiln walls will be built of brick,
with thick cork for the roof insulation.
Adequate insulation not only conserves heat,
but in cold weather it helps in maintaining
uniform conditions throughout the kiln, also
preventing condensation and resulting drip
that would cause waste because of lumber
stain. In this way it is an important factor
in making the perfect product. In connec-
tion with the new kilns, improved appliances
for handling and storing lumber are to be
installed, all at a total cost of some $100,-
000.

vestigators who have devoted some time to
this interesting subject go so far already as
to state that conditions as they existed from
1914 to 1929 will never again return so far
as American mores are concerned, predicting
that that period will be the last great era of
extravagance for the American public. Sim-
pler manners and simpler pleasures will be
characteristic of the period we are entering.
The past two years have probably driven
the American back to the piano. Those who
did not possess them have not had the money
to buy them in most cases. But those who do
possess them are using them more and more.
And if all this be true, the backlog of re-
placements is piling up higher and higher
every year, to say nothing of the accumula-
tion of new homes which as yet remain to be
equipped. For no matter how great a ma-
terial depression may be, there is still mar-
riage and giving in marriage.
The Baldwin Piano Co. has recently let
the contract for the construction of a battery
of new lumber-drying kilns. They are of
the latest type, embodying improvements of
great importance, the result of investigation
and study by the Baldwin Co.'s technical
staff, who are installing an entirely new
method for the control of temperature and
humidity in the kiln chambers. It is now
possible to control these conditions auto-
matically and still with greatest precision.
Sohmer & Co., New York, have introduced
a secondary line of pianos in two designs,
know'n as the Marbury Style B Hepplewhite
and Marbury Louis XV in antique walnut.
The company has also reduced prices ap-
proximately 20 per cent, and has been car-
rying on a strong retail campaign.
The sale of the Story & Clark Piano Co.'s
building, at 173 North Michigan avenue,
Chicago, was announced September 1. It
is a seven-story structure, and, with the
ground fee, w r as sold by its owner, Edward
H. Story, of Pasadena, California, for
$603,000. The building was put up a few
years ago for the Story & Clark Piano Co.,
of which E. H. Story was then president.
The change in ownership of the building
will involve no change whatever in the lo-
cation of the Story & Clark Piano Co.'s head-
quarters. The fourth and fifth floors of the
building will be retained by them and will
continue to be the offices of President Frank
F. Story, Vice-President L. P. Bull, Treas-
urer E. F. Story, and Secretary and Sales
Manager R. A. Burke.
The company still retains its big manufac-
turing plant at Grand Haven, Mich., and
will continue the manufacture of the Story &
Clark pianos there.
Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, Cal.,
recently purchased the business of the Allen
E. Young Music Co., 273 South First street,
San Jose, Cal., and will continue that store
as a branch with Mr. Young as manager.
