MR. HOWARD, of Hallctt & Cumston, Boston, has
left for a long trip on the road. He will probably
go as far West as San Francisco.

THE new catalogue, issue;! by Win. Bourne & Son,
Boston, is gotten up in splendid style, and shows
great care in arrangement and printing.
THE new style upright which we recently saw in
the wardrooms of Woodwari & Brown, Boston, is
elegant in design and finish. The tone is round, full,
clear and powerful. One of the most expert teachers
in the New England Conservatory of Music has a
piano which he has played so much upon that he has
worn out two sets of keys, yet the piano itself, he
claims, is as good as the day that it was purchased.
This speaks well for the quality and staying powers
of the Woodward «& Brown piano.

WE would call attention to the cut given on another
page, of the Vose & Son's square grand piano. This
firm is doing an excellent business, and their sales
so far this year are away ahead of 1885.
F. W. BAILEY, who has been traveling through the
West for the past two months, in the interest of the
Bay State organ and the Bourne piano, continues to
meet with good success. The Bourne piano has
never before this year boen represented to any great
extent on the road, but judging from the number of
good and reliable agents which Mr. Bailey has se-
cured, it has a brilliant future. It is a piano which
will sell readily, and is an excellent instrument.

THE Smith American Organ Co., Boston, state
that although business is not what it ought to be at
this season of the year, j et they cannot complain.
They have such a large number of good dealers that
they are bound at all times to have orders enough to
keep them running full time.
THE Wilcox & White Organ Co , Meriden, Conn.,
say that business is coming up very fast, now that
the trouble of the men in our trade is ended. They
inform us that, notwithstanding the general cry of
bad times, the sale of their instruments for the first
four months this year hao been fifty-two per cent,
greater than in 1885.
THE Brand Manufacturing Co., New Britain, Conn.,
is one of the busiest firms in the whole trade. The
hardware made by this house seems to give universal
satisfaction.
DAVID KRAKAUER, of Krakauer Bros., New York,
is expected home from his Western trip in a few
days. He has sent into the house some very good
orders since he has been out, and a glance at the or-
der books show many excellent agents that he has
secured.

0. B. HUNT & Co., Boston, state that they are per-
fectly satisfied with the volume of their business,
considering the general bad condition of trade caused
by the labor troubles everywhere. Mr. Bailey is do-
ing excellent work on the road in the interests of
this house, and is placing some very large orders.
THE Taber Organ Co., Worcester, Mass., are push-
ing their goods more this year than ever before.
Mr. Wilder of the firm is now on the Pacific Coast,
and is meeting with good success.
WOOD BROS , Cambridgeport, Mass., report trade
in their line as rapidly increasing. They have
within the past two weeks received several large
orders for sharps, which will keep them busy for
some time.
Davis Pianos
THE third Saturday in September will hereafter be
known in this State as Labor Day. It will also be a
legal holiday, the Legislature having passed a law
to that effect.
NOTWITHSTANDING the dull times, George Steck &
Co. are doing a lively business. Their workmen
went to work at eight hours, on eight hours'pay.
This is, however, only a temporary arrangement,
and will, doubtless, have to be abandoned for the ten
hour system, to enable the concern to fill their
orders.
MATHUSHEK & SON, New York, are doing a large
business direct with the public in the towns where
they have no agents, and are thus making the differ-
ence between manufacturers' and dealers' prices. It
may be of interest to dealers in unoccupied territory
to look into the merits of the Mathushek & Son piano,
before it is too late.
CONOVER BROS., New York and Kansas City, are
having all the orders they can fill with their present
manufacturing facilities.
A music leaf turner has been patented by Mr. Louis
L. White, of Portland, Oregon. It has a shaft, cog-
wheel, and a series of pinions carrying each a rod, a
paper holding clip, and other features, making a con-
venient device for turning the leaves of sheet music
rapidly and perfectly.
