WALTER M. GOTSCH IS PRESIDENT
National Association of Musical Instrument and Ac-
cessories Manufacturers Also Elect Other Officers.
At a meeting of the National Association of Musi-
cal Instrument and Accessories Manufacturers held
at the Hotel Stevens, Chicago, Wednesday, June 8,
the following officers were elected:
Walter M. Gotsch, president.
H. C. Lomb, vice-president.
Alfred L. Smith, secretary-treasurer.
The new directors are all officers above the fol-
lowing: G. F. Chapin, E. E. Felsberg, H. H.
Slingerland, William F. Ludwig, Maurice Lifton, Carl
W. Nelson, J. R. Stewart, H. W. Weymann.
The following new members were elected: National
Gut String Company, Rutan, Inc., Lyon & Healy,
Inc., L. A. Elkington.
The association took steps looking toward the pro-
motion of fretted instruments by means of contests,
an activity which already has been begun. The Na-
tional Association of Musical Instruments and Ac-
cessories Manufacturers is one of the newest of the
national trade organizations, but does not let its
youth affect its activity and keen interest in matters
concerning the making and selling of musical goods.
Its object is the closest association with the jobbers
and dealers and in furtherance of this desirable pur-
pose numerous valuable aids to bigger sales have
been provided for the retailers.
Standardization is the watchword of the associa-
tion and in the details of this work the vice-president,
H. C. Lomb, has been very active. The organization
already has effected several rules of standardization
relating to fretted instruments and this movement
will proceed simultaneously with the promotion of
bigger sales of the instruments.
