IBQ HOTELS EQUIPPED WITH
KOHLER & CAMPBELL PIANOS
Famous Southern. Hostelries Make Five New York
Pianos Part of Excellent Equipment.
Hotel Savannah, Savannah, Ga.; Hotel Seminole,
Jacksonville, Fla.; Hotel Patten, Chattanooga,
Tenn.. and the Hotel Henry Watterson, Louisville,
Ky., four leading hotels of the South, have been
equipped with Kohler & Campbell pianos.' The con-
^
and their choice of the Kohler & Campbell piano
indicates that these instruments were chosen as
fitting company to the rest of the high class appoint-
ments. Kohler & Campbell pianos have a large fol-
lowing among the hotel owners throughout the coun-
try and are universally giving satisfaction wherever
they have been installed.
WOOL GROWERS PROTEST.
The piano hammer makers and felt manufacturers
are not the only ones with problems that affect the
calm pursuit of customers and profits. Wool han-
dlers, brokers and importers all voice protests of
some kind of more or less intensity. Labor troubles
have been hampering the production of felt wools
as other kinds. It is one of the conditions that react
on the piano trade. Now the kick comes from the
seat of the original supply. "The menace to sheep
men of America from the unrevealed presence of
shoddy in apparel is many times greater-than is the
menace from any possible amount of wool in Amer-
ica by the British Government," declares a letter
which has been sent out by the National Sheep and
Wool Bureau at Washington.
AIR MAIL SERVICE PLANNED.

Trans-continental aerial mail service between New
York and San Francisco will be established in the
near future, Otto Praeger, second assistant postmas-
ter general, told the house post office committee
last week. Two planes already have been con-
structed and others ordered, he said. The depart-
ment estimates this service will transport mail
across the continent in less than 48 hours.. Praeger
indicated this might start by Jan. 1. Aerial mail
service to Alaska is also being considered, Mr.
Praeger said. The routes contemplated are from
Chicago through St. Paul and from Omaha through
Billings, Mont.

The new prices on Culbransen playerpianos went
into effect last Saturday, January 10. The White
House Model is now $725, the Country Seat Model
$625, the Suburban Model $550. The company's
prices are controlled by a very accurate cost sys-
tem. The present rise is due to additional costs of
manufacture; if the cost of producing the instru-
ments went down, the customers would find a re-
duction of prices, accordingly, instead of a raise.
In other words, the company has not been doing
any profiteering and does not intend to do so.

NEW YORK PIANO STRIKE
IS AT LAST ALL SETTLED
About Eighty Per Cent of the Normal Forces Again
at It in Piano Factories.
A great fight has been won by the piano manu-
facturers in the New York district. Since October
1, 1919, practically no pianos have been manufac-
tured. This has meant a loss of some millions of
dollars to the manufacturers and the dealers who de-
pend upon them. This loss, however, is small com-
pared with what might have been the loss had not
the New York manufacturers taken the firm stand
they did in the matter of right to run their own fac-
tories. Undoubtedly the manufacturers in Chicago,
Boston and other districts have been and will be
greatly helped by this light. Men are now return-
ing to work.
The latest reports show that about 80 per cent of
the normal forces are working. Production of
goods has started. Attention, however, must be di-
rected to the rapidly rising costs not only of labor
involved in the actual production of pianos, but in
the sweeping advances in the price of supplies.
Piano merchants must be prepared for greatly in-
creased prices.
PROSPERITY CAN COME BY
PRODUCTIVE EFFORT ONLY
Industry at Youngstown, Ohio, Accompanies Greet-
ing with Bit of Sound Philosophy.
The Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co., Youngs-
town, Ohio, has sent a very unusual and instructive
calendar for 1920. It is accompanied by good
wishes and the hope that the industry "may be able
during the year to render service unhindered by
conditions such as have attended much of the year
just ending."
"The industrial and commercial skies will brighten
with the growth of understanding that real peace and
prosperity can come only through productive effort
on the part of each individual in his chosen field of
labor," adds President Wm. E. Manning of the
Youngstown industry.
"Why not a piano?" asks Harbaugh, Akron, O.,
in featuring the A. B. Chase and Packard pianos this
week.
