cess of the convention of the National Association of
Piano Tuners. Inc., to be held in New York next
month, writes in a letter this week:
"Prior to now we stated to those who were inter-
ested in this convention, that we expected it to be
one of the biggest and best ever. We do not "expect"
at this writing; we are confident, owing to the fact
that since our last communication to you many more
piano manufacturers have made reservations for their
various exhibits, and we are negotiating with others

from all over the country, particularly in view of the

prospective visitors as far away as South Africa, Aus-
tralia, Honolulu, England and Canada.
