with characteristic enterprise, are out with a
splendid new catalogue. We reprint, in an-
other col«mn, extracts frono k it upon the care of reed
organs which dealers should read.
ONE OF the morning papers makes thestartling an-
nouncement that "just as the largest orders for
pianos were coming in last week.Sohmei & Cos men
refused to work overtime." Were they asked to work
overtime ? Has there been a time during the past
year that there had been any necessity of their work-
ing overtime V " What fools these mortals be " some-
times !

rapidly forwarded to ^their agents at all points

DECEMBER • 20th • 1886.
• ETWEEN now and December 20th, we expect to visit the principal places from New York to San Fancisco, and give full news of the far Western
trade in that issue. We shall not, however, neglect the Eastern manufacturers and dealers, but instead, visit as many as possible and give them
an opportunity to avail themselves of the extra large circulation which this issue will have. Our regular circulation is acknowledged to be twenty-
five per cent, greater than any other paper pretending to represent the music trade. As proof of this, see Rowell's Newspaper Directory for 1886. We
shall spare no pains or expense to make this Holiday Number the most interesting and useful paper ever published in the music trade, and request the-
manufactures and dealers to aid us in doing this, by sending any articles which will be of interest to the trade in general.
