What VIII Dealers DO.
There is much speculation as to
whether tie piano dealers will also
select Chicago az their next meeting
place. 1t IL customary for the dealers
and manufacturers TO meet in the
same city simultaneously, although
there have been exceptions to this
rule. Last year the dealers took the
initiative and selected Richmond,
when they met in Detroit, the manu-
facturers following suit. This year,
1t appears. the manufacturers stole a
march on tho dealers by holding their
convention first.
1t is said that the manufacturers
exercise great care not to let the
dealers know what they do In con-
ventioa in regard to many detail mat
tiers and this spirit Is largely recipro-
Gated by the dealers.
The travellers are more q part of
the manufacturers association and
many have access to their conyen-
tons.
Meeting postponed.
The travellers were scheduled to hold
the opening session of their conven-
ton at O'Clock Friday afternoon
but they decided to postpone their
first meeting until Tuesday afternoon.
owing to the fact that a good many
of their number found II impossible
TO reach Richmond until the first of
next week.
The travellers are first class mixers
and are already much In evidence
about the Jefferson lobby. Some Of
them talk as II they don't altogether
relish the idea o1 being shut out from
attendance upon sessions of the manu-
facturers and never fail to proclaim
the fact that their sessions will be open
to all.
Resembles Paacrcwski.
Among the travellers is Gus Boize,
of Champaign. Ill, VINO strongly re-
sembies Paderewski. with his fully
bushy locks and general musical
aspect. Mr.. Boixa arrived IN Rich
mond Friday morning. coming with
