President Chas. E. Wells Tour of Europe
and Homeivard Bound
The European tour of Mr. Chas. K. Wells, presi-
dent of the Chas. E. Wells Music Co., Denver, Colo.,
and at the present time in the eye and attention of
music merchants and music industries people as presi-
dent of the National Music Merchants Association,
took that eminent gentleman through Italy, Switzer-
land, Germany, Holland, Belgium. France and Great

tive point for attendance as a delegate at the Inter-
national Convention of Rotarians, he visited Genoa.

found him at The Hague. July 9 the airplane trip
from Paris to London is scheduled and a stay in
London until the 13th. when the party proceeds to

visiting Stratford. Leamington, Warwick. They then
proceed to the south of England, embarking at
Southampton July 16 on the S. S. Washington, which
is expected to dock at New York Thursday, the 22nd.
ending a grand and glorious time.
The opening clay of the convention is Monday, the
26th, which is given up mainly to getting settled and
for the big get-together luncheon at the Hotel New

respite but he will have a good "hands full" con-
tinually from the time he reaches his hotel from the
steamer all through the convention and until the event
of '37 is a thing of the past. And, "oh my," how he
will sleep when he gets homeward bound.
