CONN STORES IN NEW YORK
Saxophones and Trumpets of Famous Conn Models
Biggest Sellers at This Time.
A Presto-Times representative called on Irving
Sacks, assistant manager of C. G. Conn, Ltd., 14th
street store in New York last week.
"The principal call now is for saxophones, epiphone
banjos and trumpets," said Mr. Sacks, "and trade is
very good."
Conn's have an uptown store also, at 235 West
47th street, where Henry Myers is manager. Joseph
E. Kossof is manager of the 14th street store.

Clause in Lease of Building Favors Hammacher,
Schlemmer & Co., New York.
Frederick Brown, real estate man, has just pur-
chased from Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co. the
twelve-story business structure, 50x100 feet, at 145-
147 East Fifty-seventh street, New York. This prop-
erty is located 100 feet from the northeast corner
of Lexington avenue and Fifty-seventh street. The
widely-known hardware firm, which only recently
completed the building, took back a twenty-one year
lease in the sale on the entire property. This lease
will pay Mr. Brown about $1,500,000 for the term.
An unusual renewal clause under the lease permits
the Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co. firm to retain the
building for a second twenty-one year period, the
rental to yield to the operator 7*4 per cent net on
the appraised value of the land and building, decided
on at the time of the renewal.
The structure was erected by Hammacher, Schlem-
mer & Co. for its own occupancy, and a feature is

its unusually high ceilings. The hardware concern
purchased the site from Samuel J. Flash in 1925. For
many years it was owned by the late Arabella D.
Huntington and contained the private stables of the
family.
TRADE IMPROVES, SAYS LAWRENCE.
A Presto-Times representative this week called
upon Richard W. Lawrence of the Bankers' Commer-
cial Security Company, 270 Madison avenue, New
York, and also upon Mr. Davis of the same company.
Mr. Lawrence's long experience as a piano manufac-
turer gives weight to any utterance touching on piano
prospects for 1928. He said that both the wholesale
and retail trade had shown decided improvement
within the last two weeks and he expressed it as
his firm conviction that 1928 was going to be a good
piano year. But in concluding the interview he qual-
ified his bright prediction by saying that the men
in the trade had to work for what they were getting,
and that selling pianos would not be a lazy man's
job at any time during 1928. "When they want
money they know where to come for it," he said, "but
money, being cautious, is on the other side."
