MANSFIELD
George E. Mansfield as vice president
and director of sales.
Mr. Mansfield, whose middle name,
incidentally, is Everett, needs very
little introduction to the piano indus-
try. He started his career in the in-
dustry in 1903 with the Briggs Piano
Co., Boston, and later from 1916-1921
represented the Everett Piano Co. Af-
ter some years in various executive
positions in the industry he returned
to the Everett organization in 1937
where during the war he participated
in the wartime activities of the com-
pany. He has now assumed the direct-
ing of sales for this organization.
Stapely on Western Tour
President Stapely is at present mak-
ing an extended tour of the far west
combining his first vacation in ten
years with visiting Everett dealers in
that territory. He expects to be gone
for approximately two months.
Factory Has New Equipment
During the past year the Everett
plant has been brought up to the maxi-
mum of efficiency, completely modern-
ized with the installation of numerous
automatic machines of the most mod-
ern type. When supply conditions be-
come normal, the Everett plant will
be in a position to produce in even a
more efficient manner than heretofore
with a much larger production than
was possible in pre-war days.
