BOOKLET.
"The Story of the Piano," is the title of a new
booklet just issued by Krakauer Bros., Cypress ave-
nue, 136th to 137th street, New York, published
when one of the largest representatives of the house
requested a booklet covering the history and devel-
opment of the piano. The request was originated by
the large number of school children who, in their
study of the subject, needed such a short, concise
summary of facts to aid them in their work," says
Krakauer Bros., adding: "We trust and believe this
booklet will fill a much desired need and we hope
it will be of advantage and help to those who read
it." The booklet is being widely distributed by Kra-
kauer dealers.
