combine relating periods for the purpose of harmony
in the room design rather than to adhere too strictly
to the one period idea. The same principle applies
with the piano and its bench. It is not necessary
that the bench exactly comply in design with the
period case of the piano; but merely that it harmonize
with it in general design. There must, of course, be
an exact match in veneers, color and quality of finish.
In this particular situation, the new Overton No.
11 bench made by the S. E. Overton Co., South
Haven, Mich., is of more than passing interest to
music merchants everywhere. Especially in view of
the extensive use of occasional tables and odd chairs
and other articles of furniture of artistic designs. The
new No. 11 bench was designed by Peter Van Dom-
meien, perhaps the foremost creator of distinctive
and authentic period furniture in Grand Rapids. In
the No. 11 Mr. Van Domtnelen has developed a pleas-
ing style that will fit into any room and add to its
attractiveness. He has taken the motif from the early
seventeenth century and has expressed the full beauty
of an old master's handiwork in the sketchy design
of the "button and base" turned legs.
Tn view of the circumstances the Style 11 Overton
bench is a most saleable and profitable article for
dealers to handle. It is splendidly adaptable to a
pianos. Top is five-ply, cross-banded select veneers
in mahogany, plain walnut or burl walnut. Shipped
K. D. in Overton dust and moisture proof carton,
with freight and storage advantages of the popular
Overton K. D. construction.
FEAR RADIO PROPAGANDA.
European propaganda stations, using very high
power, may "drown out" programs by English sta-
tions, is the fear entertained by K. L. Allardyce
Arnott, managing director of the Freed-Eisemann
Radio (Great Britain), Ltd., who sailed last week
after ten days' conference in New York. Mr. Arnott
declared that already powerful German stations at
Hamburg and Frankfurt-am-Main, using 9 kilowatts
upward, were being heard in England with greater
volume than from the majority of British stations.
BUFFALO DEALERS MEET.
A meeting of the Buffalo Victor Dealers' Associa-
tion was held on Wednesday of this week when
r«» T. Learning', merchandising manager for the
Buffalo Better Business Bureau, gave a talk. John
Fisher, president, told of the plans to stimulate sales
and named three committees to work out the details.
