MUST REGROW FORESTS.
We will have to regrow our vanished forests or
drop back several degrees in civilization, says the
Chicago Tribune. Until now, reforestation has ap-
peared to the great majority as an amiable fad,
something a little more practical than worrying about
how long the coal supply will last. In these days of
iron and concrete it is easy to get the impression that
wood is no longer of vital importance and the saw
mill is becoming an anachronism.
PLANS OF OMAHA MAN.
James Hansen, well known to musicians in Omaha,
Neb., is endeavoring to find a suitable location for a
musical merchandise store in the business center of
that city. Mr. Hansen specializes in clarinets, but
purposes to handle a general line of imported band
instruments. Mr. Hansen recently returned from a
tour of Europe.

BUYING FOR T. L. LUTKINS, INC.
The World's Hide Markets Provide the Choice
Quality Stock for Specialty Leather.
The leathers required for playerpianos and organs
and for the straight pianos as well are of a special
kind which has resulted in the creation of musical
instrument leather specialty houses. The foremost
of these, the name of which is familiar to every
musical instrument manufacturer and dealer and to
every piano tuner and repairman, is T. L. Lutkins,
Inc., 40 Spruce street, New York.
This house makes pneumatic leathers a specialty
among a line of specialties. And the fact involves
not only wisdom in providing for the wants of the
music trade, but a wide knowledge of the markets
where the necessary hides and finished leathers may
be procured. The market is a world-wide one and
much of the raw material is picked up by agents of
T. L. Lutkin, Inc., in some of the remote places of
Europe and Asia.
But in buying for T. L. Lutkins, Inc., quality in
the product comes before quantity. Any blind buyer
can gather mountains of hides if he has the price. It
takes the expert buying of the representatives of the
well-known New York leather specialty house to
recognize the peculiar qualities required in the skins
designed for conversion into special music trade
leather.
