Jakway, well known interior decorator. The pamphlet de-
scribes the walnut tree from its infancy in the forest to its-
maturity in your music room, and is handsomely illustrated
with charts and plates.
ORGATRON
The Everett Piano Company reports a splendid export busi-
ness in their Orgatron. Among recent installations are a spe-
cial gold leaf design for the Federal Building of the New
York World's Fair and a regular design for the Florida Build-
ing. Three Orgatrons have been installed at the Golden Gate
Exposition in San Francisco and just recently one was in-
stalled for the New York Historical Society in New York
City.
PRESTO MUSIC TIMES received some of the late copies
of the Orgatron World which is an attractive four-page publi-
cation issued monthly in the interests of the organ department.
From Dr. Alexander Russell, manager of music salons, John
Wanamaker, New York :
"In 1929 an old friend of mine bought a Minuette Gulbran-
sen Upright (No. 284567) from the Music Lover's Shop in
Rochester, N. Y., brought it to New York, and put it on her
houseboat which she and her husband have on the water at
Port Washington, L. I., every summer. The piano, of course,
had to stay on the boat all the time and although it was sub-
jected all these years to dampness, heat, cold and everything
you can think of, it stood up beautifully until the hurricane
last September which completely swamped the houseboat and
everything in it.

PRESTO MUSIC TIMES will give a box of cigars to the
person guessing the names of the old-time music merchants
shown in the pictures above. If more than one person guesses
all the names, or if two people guess the same number of
names, PRESTO MUSIC TIMES will award two boxes of
cigars.
"I might add that it was partly my admiration for the way
this piano stood up on this houseboat (as well as its fine tone
and action) that got me interested in the Gulbransen line. So
in a sense the houseboat piano got Gulbransen and me to-
gether."
