The sheet music and musical merchandise industry
will have important parts in the activities June 6 to
9 at the Hotel Stevens, Chicago, when four national
associations representing great groups in the music
industry will hold their conventions there. Interest-
ing exhibits from a considerable number of the musi-
cal merchandise manufacturers will add to the value
and interest of the proceedings. These are an added
assurance of a big attendance. Reservations by men
of the industry at the Hotel Stevens and other hotels
indicate that the number of dealers and manufacturers
at the annual meetings of their national associations
this year will be greater than at any previous gath-
ering of the organizations.
That the 1927 conventions will be primarily of a
business nature is apparent, but the social aspects of
the gatherings have not been ignored. In addition
to the banquet for visiting dealers and jobbers the

facturers at the Hotel Stevens, June 7, a get-together

social successes of the convention. William F. Lud-
