PRESTO
Liberal orders were placed for the Selectra Model
"B" instrument and the other two styles exhibited.
A. F. Larsen, president, when interviewed by a
Presto representative, said: "The fine results ob-
tained from the convention display may be attributed
to the exclusive features and the quality of our instru-
ments. Every dealer who examined our line was
convinced of its merits, and before the convention
adjourned we had accumulated a number of orders."
PACKARD UPRIGHT MODEL
MADE CONVENTION HIT
Other Styles Were Also Shown to Dealers Interested
in the Packard Line.
A new upright model made its bow to the trade in
the Packard suite last week at the Drake. The instru-
ment is 3 feet 9 inches and is extremely attractive from
every standpoint.
Dealers were invited to see the Packard line in Room
408, and the response to the invitation was so great
that those on hand to show the instruments were kept
busy during the entire time the convention was in
session.
One dealer who was impressed with the fine quality
embodied in the Packard line, gave an order for 100
pianos of the new upright model.
