ANDLING of news in a trade
journal requires but nickel
brains. Interpretation of the
news, with its allied data on
industry performance, and all the con-
clusions coming from such, demands
a curious and agile mind with no
esteem for the expression: "The piano
business is different." The person
must be experienced, but not so set
that everything is focused on the
Johnstown flood details or "the way
we did this in 1919." We still have too

is gradually getting less in favor of the
factual type of trade journalism. We
started giving information rather
timidly, but the many expressions from

counters, etc., as well as color could
now be brought up to date, so that
modern presentations may be seen

every argument why people should
buy the latest, still are housed and sold
from antique looking semi-dog-
kennels.
