Chauncey D. Bond, president of the
National Piano Manufacturers Associa-
tion, recently received a letter from
Knut Litterin the Sveriges Pianofor-
bund, Stockholm, Sweden in which he
stated:
"During a recent visit to Sweden
by Mr. Cyril Farny (formerly of the
Rudolph Wurlitzer Company) we were
advised by Mr. Farny to take contact
with you as being President of the
National Piano Manufacturers Asso-
ciation with a view to exchange infor-
mation on matters of mutual interest.
"We certainly quite agree with Mr.
Farny and would very much appreci-
ate such an exchange of useful infor-
mation, especially as we are wall aware
of that we on our side would have very
much to learn out of such an informa-
tion from your side.
"On the other hand, we avail our-
selves of this opportunity to express
the hope that we might be able to
provide you with interesting particu-
lars and would appreciate it by any
time we could render you service on
this subject."
"I have written to Mr. Litterin" said
Mr. Bond, "and told him that we will
be glad to furnish him whatever in-
formation we can."
