Veteran's Employment Guide
Now Available to Employers
To aid veterans in returning to civil-
iam employment and to gain the great-
est benefits for themselves from the
fine pool of workers created by the
discharge of millions of service men
and women, employers should have
organized programs for hiring vet-
erans and assisting them in finding
the right job in their establishments,
Perry Faulkner, Chief of the Veterans
Employment Service of the United
States Employment Service, and Rob-
ert C. Goodwin, USES Director, said
recently.
How to establish the kind of a
program which will be of the greatest
assistance to veterans is outlined in
an employers' guide now being dis-
tributed through local offices of the
USES and the state offices of the Vet-
erans Employment Service representa-
tives.
"It is of the utmost importance that
employers who have not developed
organized veterans programs adopt
such programs at once."

The Brook Mays Piano Co. which
has operated in Texas and Louisiana
for over 60 years is now occupying its
newly enlarged store at 1522 Main
St. Corner Leeland, only two blocks
from the new nine million dollar Foley
Bros. Department store now under
construction. This is the sixth ex-^
pansion this stove has had in its more
than 30 years in Houston.
The Brook Mays Piano Co. had been
located on the corner of Main and
Leeland for the past 8 years. It re-
cently renewed its lease, and at the
same time acquired a lease on the
store next door. With the doubling
of the size they have converted it into
one of the most artistic piano show
rooms in the south. Flourescent light-
ing and complete redecoration shows
off the pianos to a much greater ad-
vantage.
They have also installed
sound proof studio rooms and furnished
them in a living room like atmos-
phere for the demonstration of pianos.
Another of their studio rooms is for
the demonstration of the Wurlitzer
Orgatrons.
