OHIO STATE CONVENTION
WILL HAVE FINE DISPLAYS
Plans Already Made for Exhibits by a Number of
Industries, Including the Schiller.
The promise is that there will be a good display of
pianos at the Ohio state dealers convention in Cleve-
land, September 9-10. At the Statler Hotel arrange-
ments have already been made for several of the ex-
hibits, among them that of the Schiller Piano Co., of
Oregon, 111.
Of course the feature of the Schiller display will be
the Bauer-Scale Schiller Grand, which has made such
an impression in the trade. It was a star feature at
teh New York and other recent conventions, and it
will create equal interest in Cleveland. Frank M.
Hood will be in charge at Cleveland, and his friends
know what that will mean both to them and the
Schiller piano.
Particulars of the approaching convention of the
Music Merchants' Association of Ohio appeared in
last week's Presto.
