If the popularity of Hawaiian and

the Department of Commerce has

plans for going after overseas piano

which should prove most effective.
The department Is having prepared
a complete film story of the manufac-
ture Of the American piano, depicting
every process from the selecting or
the raw material up through all the
prases Of manufacture until the fin
