The Straube Piano Company, Hammond, Ind., has
mailed the following letter to dealers:

have proved it."

tone qualty and volume of this, the world's smallest
full scale grand. But actually hearing the instrument
gave the dealers a new conception of small grand
possibilities.
"This gives us a real grand in a size many people
have been waiting for." "Nothing to apologize for
in this tone, surely." "It's a little beauty." These
and similar expressions told us we were right in
predicting an enthusaistic reception for the Sonata.

W. H. Collins, W i l l " to his many friends in the
music trade, has severed connections with the J. P.
Seeburg Piano Co., with which house he has been
associated since leaving the piano department of
Lyon & Healy, some years ago.
Mr. Collins has not as yet made any arrangement
for the future nor probably will not think much about
business or business connections for the next few
weeks while he is enjoying a vacation in the wilds
of Wisconsin.
Presto-Times does not presume to know what his
inclinations are as to his future in the music business,
but it is presumed that he will keep close to the
regular piano business, which has long been the
phase of the music trade to which he has devoted his
best efforts.

Miss Lerner has long had a place amongst the
greatest women pianists of all time. The brilliancy
of her technique is remarkable. To this technique
she brings the intelligence of the poet and thinker
that marks the supreme artist. Miss Lerner's first
Ampico recordings will be released in an early
bulletin.
