Mr. Schulte's Message
F E L L O W MEMBERS OF T H E MUSIC
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION O F O H I O :
There is a great deal that should be done by the
Music Merchants' Association of Ohio:
1. Keep the splendid cooperation we receive from
the Ohio Department of Education.
2. Keep our time sale forms up to date, which I
know our secretary will do. We are fortunate in hav-
ing such an able attorney, Rexford C. Hyre, as our
secretary.
3. Keep the Mutual Insurance Department func-
tioning. Homer A. Harrison will be glad to go over
your insurance problems with you.
4. Cooperate with the Automobile Dealers of Ohio
in eliminating the Ohio 3 per cent sales tax on trade-
ins. The passage of such a law will benefit all of us.
5. There is an Ohio Fair Trade Act which I be-
lieve would benefit every dealer in our state. The
druggists have eliminated quite a number of abuses
by its use. Write a line to our secretary. I would
like to hear your opinions and problems on this im-
portant act. Your letters will be published in an early
issue of this publication.
6. Our Membership: The Music Merchants' Asso-
ciation of Ohio has 101 members. A very small per-
centage of all the music dealers in Ohio. Our mem-
bership should increase to 200, at least, during the
coming year. I T CAN BE DONE. But—it is im-
possible for a few members to accomplish this mem-
bership drive. Each one of you should get your
competitors in your own town to join. Therefore,
I appoint each and every one of you a committee of
one during our membership campaign. The cost is
only five dollars and this fee covers the balance of
1937 and all of 1938. Talk to your competitor the
next time you meet him.
Remember the officers of any organization must
have the support of its members and our greatest
need at the present time is more memberships.

Henry Z. and Charles G. Steinway to Start Work
with Steinway & Sons
Following the Steinway tradition, two more of the younger generation of Steinways have
started work in the Steinway factories in New York. A correspondent at New York sends to
Presto-Times the following instructing data:
TWO YOUNGER GENERATION STEINWAYS JOIN STEINWAY & SONS
Henry Ziegler Steinway, son of Mr. Theodore E. Steinway, president of Steinway & Sons,
was born on August 23, 1915, in New York City. He attended the Loomis School, and is a
graduate of Harvard, Class of 1937. Although still young in years, Henry Z. Steinway has
traveled extensively in the United States, and has been abroad several times. He likes to
travel, and he also is an enthuiastic angler and prefers fresh-water fishing. He can indulge
in this delightful sport to his heart's content during the summer at his parents' country home
at Long Pond, Mass. Henry Z. Steinway is the fourth generation of Steinways who are act-
ively engaged in the Steinway business.
Charles G. Steinway, son of Mr. Charles F. M. Steinway, secretary of Steinway & Sons,
was born April 7, 1914, in New York City. He is a graduate of Morristown High School and
attended Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa., and the School of Commerce, New York
University. Charles G. Steinway takes great interest in sports and in music. He was a mem-
ber of various glee clubs during his school and college years, and is now a member of Squad-
ron A, New York National Guard. His hobbies are driving, tennis, swimming, and riding.
He belongs to the fifth generation of Steinways now actively engaged in work in the Stein-
way organization.
Mr. Theodore E. Steinway's oldest son, Mr. Theodore D. Steinway, began work at the
Steinway factories last year, and thus three o f the youngest generation of Steinways are
actively working with the great house of Steinway & Sons, carrying out its traditions.
