Naturally then, as We approach
this important period in our bust
ness experience, We feel a deep
sense Of gratitude to the, friends
and patrons whose loyalty has
made such an event possible.
Our President, Mr. Hermann
Schmidt, ST.. has been at the head
of this organization for practical
ly the entire period OF, sixty years,
and has seen the development Of
musical instruments from the time
of the little Melodian. and the
crude square Piano to the present
day sensation Of musical achieve
ment. The Reproducing Piano.
1t is this wonderful progress
which has been made in Musical
Instruments. that has helped ele-
vate the musical standards of to-
day and to bring Music to point
Of supremacy unchallenged BY any
Of the other great arts.
We wish to congratulate the en-
tire Music Industry-the host of
loyal, untiring and patient instruc-
tors, also the preserving students
and professional musicians, who
have aided in bri--ing Music to
the high plane which it now enjoys.
Our greatest anticipation for the
f.rtherance OF good music in the
Home has been gratified through
the invention Of the AMPICO Re

tice and its performance through
this entir- week Of Musical Events

duCcd In the United states in 1919
about 90,377,439 gallons classified

As the Hope Natural Gaa com
pany's original contract calls for a
royalty OF 10 per cent on the first
10 cents of the price at which the
gasoline is sold and 20 per cent uf
the current markc, price above 10
cents per gallon, the total amount
which would have hccn collected by
