DETAIL piano sales in New York
during September were up ten per
cent and more above the totals for the
corresponding month last year and
similar encouraging reports come
from other sections of the country.
In short, the seasonal fall activity that
has been missing for the past two
years has again made its presence felt
in a number of lines. It is in no
sense a boom but it is welcome.
T H E retailer who recently visited a
Gypsy encampment in search of a
seventh daughter of a seventh daugh-
ter to help him with his credit prob-
lems might have been a trifle extreme,
but, nevertheless, it takes considerable
foresight as well as an airtight sys-
tem to keep retail collections in good
shape these days. The Platt Music
Co. system, described elsewhere in
THE REVIEW this month, has worked
out well. Maybe it will present an
idea or two to other dealers.
T H E W. W. Kimball Co. is this
year celebrating the seventy-fifth
anniversary of the establishment of
its business, and the capable manage-
ment that has won success for the
company for three-quarters of a cen-
tury is reflected in the stability of the
great Kimball institution today. It
represents an imposing monument to
over seven decades of sound business.
