Thus the stamp contribution of the manufacturers
will take the place of the former subscription meth-
od, whereby the manufacturers raised a fund of $25,-
000 as their contribution to the Chamber of Com-
merce from June 1, 1919, to June 1, 1920.
The new combination stamp is expected to in-
crease greatly the revenue of the Music Industries
Chamber of Commerce, thus providing funds for
the growing activities of that organization.
The new combination stamp goes on the piano,
as before, while stickershave been provided for
manufacturers to place orW their invoices to mer-
chants, reading as follows:
STAMP CONTRIBUTION.
"The charge of 25c for each piano listed on this
invoice is your contribution for the advancement of
music and trade interests. The combination stamp
on each piano represents 25c advanced for you by
the manufacturer to the Merchants' Fund, and an
equal amount paid by him to the Manufacturers'
Fund for the Music Industries Chamber of Com-
merce.
