FAIRBANKS PLATES.
In the American piano industry the piano plates
made by the Fairbanks Company, Springfield, Ohio,
are considered a potent means towards attaining the
character of sturdiness and durability for pianos. It
is a selection prompted by distinctive qualities in the
Fairbanks plates which manufacturers believe to be
essential to the production of high-class pianos. Fair-
banks piano plates are particularly desirable because
they conform to the requirements of the exacting
piano manufacturer and are made from the finest
materials by the most skillful- workmen. It is ad-
mitted by dealers, piano makers and piano owners of
a discriminating kind that a Fairbanks plate in a
piano is a prime factor in dependable construction.
SAFETY FOR MOVERS.
The competent piano mover who works with a
dependable hoist like those made and sold by the
Self-Lifting Piano Truck Co., Findlay, Ohio, real-
izes the danger he avoids by its use. The devices
are of the kind which have the element of safety to
recommend them, an argument that appeals to the
humane and careful dealer unwilling to take chances
with less dependable hoisting devices.
REVERSES TARIFF RULING.
The United States Customs Court has sustained the
protest of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
against the action of the college of customs at Cleve-
land, Ohio, in assessing tariff duties on music
imported from abroad. The orchestra company
claimed free entry for the music as imported "solely
for the encouragement of the fine arts."
FINE HARDWOOD LUMBER.
Buyers of lumber for piano manufacturers and
other musical instrument makers are interested in the
special hardwood lumber manufactured by the Cross-
man Lumber Company, with headquarters in Grand
Rapids. It is one of the large hardwood specialists
and is prepared to meet the requirements of any users
of fine lumber, in any quantities.

Jasper Veneer & Manufacturing Company, Jasper,
Texas, announces the completion of its plant, which
is now completely equipped for the manufacture of
air and kiln dried quality wirebound stock and dimen-
sion veneer. "A trial order will convince you" is the
assurance in the announcement.
