THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
W. A. LAWBENCE & SON, Boston, Mass., state that
trade has revived wounderfully during the past few
weeks and they are now having all they can do-
The Lawrence piano is rapidly gaining favor in the
West. In Chicago they have a very enterprising deal-
er in Mr. J. O. Twichell, who is running their piano
as his leader, He formerly sold the Briggs as his
best instrument.
VOSE & SONS, Boston, are doing a very large retail
business. They sold five pianos in one forenoon no t
long ago. It's an exceedingly cold day when a per-
son calls at their warerooms with the intent to buy,
without being satisfied. When Willard can't sell a
piano, there isn't much show for anyone else.
AN electric organ action has been patented by Mr.
George W. Wacker, of New York City. Combined
with a pneumatic valve is an electro-magnet having
two separate air channels connected with the wind
chest and pneumatic lever, with a ball valve held
below the bottom of the tubular core of the magnet

to reduce friction, avoid binding parts, and dispense
with springs.
A PIANO stool has been patented by Mr. Claude W.
Blackburn, of Chicago, 111. This invention covers a
special construction intended to facilitate the rapid
adjustment of the seat to the desired height, for
which it is only necessary to lift it with the hands,
where it is automatically held where placed, the stool
being cheap, strong, and not liable to get out of
order.

that, "from publishing a music trade paper, good
Lord deliver our friends," was a part of the litany of
all publishers—and Welles and Bill were friends of
the Damon and Pythias order. There is an air of
mystery in the transaction, however.—Indicator.
The matter may be a matter of mystery, but will
probably not appear as much so after the First of
January next.

THE branch of the Mechanical Orguinette Co., in
Boston, has not been established quite a month, yet
in one day recently they received orders there for
over $1,4:00 worth of goods.

Philadelphia, was advertised to be sold at auction a

WILLIAM H. MORRIS, a piano mover, called at the
Central station last night and applied for admission
into the Keceiving Hospital, stating that he wished
to be treated, as he had dislocated his neck while
moving a piano. An examination showed that he had
simply strained the cords of his neck.—San Francisco
Call.
MR. WM. STEINWAY has returned from Europe
looking robust and hearty, ready for work, and cer-
tainly no one in the piano trade has more work to do
than Mr. Steinway.
MESSRS. DECKER BROS, have brought out a vary
attractive "Handy Book" for the musical profession.
It is arranged principally, we should judge, for the
convenience of musie teachers, enabling them to keep
an accurate record of their engagements with pupils.
It also contains a calendar for 1886, and can be used
as a general memorandum book. Messrs. Decker
Bros, will furnish these books to any music teachers
who apply for them personally or in writing.

I'd say you would take a club and knock me off that
piano stool if I didn't stop singing."—Cincinnati Mer-

THE business of the Hallet & Davis Co., Boston,
is wonderfully large for this season of the year.
Their orders keep them working to the fullest capa-
city of their factory. This firm does not indulge In
blowing, but prefer to let the piano speak for itself,
which it certainly does, and gives perfect satisfac-
tion to all who use it. No better recommendation
can be given to the instrument than to say that the
Hallet & Davis factory has never been closed a day
in the past five years for lack of orders.
WE advise all parties who do not buy their supplies
of Hammond, to beware. He has his "spotter" out
to trump up all sorts of suits. This "spotter"
knows the whole trade and has no hesitation in an-
noying the legitimate merchant.
