FINE SHOW OF BAND INSTRUMENTS
NEW STAMP SERIES
READY JUNE FIRST
Piano Manufacturers Go Fifty-Fifty with
Music Merchants in Combination Plan to
Support Music Industries Chamber
in Enlarged Field of Operations.
The new combination stamp of the two associa-
tions which contribute chiefly to the Music Indus-
tries Chamber of Commerce will be ready to place
on piano shipments beginning June 1st. The new
stamp plan will equalize the financial support given
to the Chamber of Commerce by the piano manu-
facturers and the music merchants, each of whom
will pay 25c per piano to carry out the approval
program for the advancement of music and the de-
velopment and protection of all branches of the mu-
sic industry.
Piano manufacturers who place their orders for
the new stamps before May 20th will receive stamps
in time for all June shipments. All manufacturers
having stamps of the old series on hand June 1st will
be asked to return them and receive credit for new
ones.
Merchants Strong for It.
The new combination stamp is the result of the
success of the Merchants' Official Stamp which was
adopted a year ago at the Chicago convention, when
