McCrerys Enjoy Inspection of
Wurlitzer Methods
Recent visitors at the Wurlitzer factory
at De Kalb, Illinois, were Mr. and Mrs.
Paul McCrery of the McCrery Music Co.,
Long Beach, Cal. After a general discus-
sion with executives of the company and
heads of the various departments, they
countered when their products are sub-
jected to extreme temperature and humid-
ity variations.
In fact all phases of piano designing and
construction were discussed so thoroughly
that those who may now call upon the

Convention Pianos
Julius Bumb Piano Movers, Inc., 364 E.
145th St., New York have recently in-
creased their fleet of moving vans so that
they are now operating six modern vans
built especially for moving pianos. For
41 years this concern has been specializ-
ing in piano moving and do this work for
the majority of piano manufacturers and
dealers in New York City. Regular weekly
trips are made to New England and other
points within a radius of 150 miles of New
York City.
For the convenience of manufacturers
who are planning to ship pianos into New
York for the Convention the company has
established ample storage facilities where
pianos can be held until the proper time
to deliver them to the Hotel New Yorker.
As a member of the New York Piano
Movers Association the Bumb vans are
manned by experienced union men. On
the sides of all vans there is painted a
piano keyboard on which are the words
"Keys to Happiness" while underneath are
the words "Own a Piano."

Bucci Installed
in Remodeled Store
The Bucci Music House, Valparaiso,
Ind., is now installed in its entirely reno-
vated and redecorated store. A basement
fire last January forced Harri Bucci, pro-
prietor, to close his doors until repairs
could be made.
The new store occupies two stories, the
main floor for the display of merchandise
and the second floor is used for music
studios and a recital hall.
Both floors are extremely modern in
design. Streamlined counters and show-
cases and beautiful chrome plated furni-
ture of the latest style, make an exquisite
setting against the modernistic color
scheme of the walls and ceiling. Vene-
tian blinds have been added and luxuri-
ous new drapes adorn the windows.
Highly polished maple floors have been
laid and richly colored heavy carpets
blend harmoniously with the fine array ol
Wurlizter Pianos which are effectively dis-
played.
At the grand opening members of the
faculty who participated included Mary
Ernestine Case, piano; Charles Stickney,
popular piano; Dorothy Jo Bellni, tap
dancing; and Virgil Browley, accordion.
Recordings were made of a "Man on
the Street" program which was conducted
in the store and these were then played
over the loud speaker system which "was
installed outside the store. Free souvenirs
were given to everyone.
Before entering business a number of
years ago Mr. Bucci was Director of In-
strumental Music for public schools in two
counties.
