THE Grovestein & Fuller Piano Co., of New York
City, will soon open a branch house in Chicago.
This is a step necessitated by the demand for their
instruments in that section of the country, and will
be a pecuniary benefit to the concern as well as a
convenience to Chicagoans.
THE long list of names of the music trade, pub-
lished in to-day's issue, who will close on Saturday
at one o'clock during the coming three months,
beginning with next Saturday, was greatly due to
the personal efforts of Mr. J. Burns Brown, who
deserves great credit In having been able to over-
come the many scruples In the trade, and managed

firms refused to sign, but will, nevertheless, close
their warerooms.
A BANJO has been patented by Mr. Henry Hoseus,
of Brooklyn, N. Y. Combined with the rim, head,
and stick of a banjo is a wire ring, supporting brack-
ets, regulating springs, and an aojusting screw, in a
manner intended to increase the strength and clear-
ness of tone of the instrument.
J. J. LEVER, Hornellsville, N. Y., died on May 21,
of heart disease.
MESSES. SOHMEE & Co. have just issued a new
catalogue for the use of the trade. It contains up-
wards of fifty cuts, of the style known as Alber-
types, and shows the most minute details of the
carvings very sharply. Messrs. Sohmer & Co. are
always prompt in meeting the requirements of their
customers.
KRANNICH & BACH have just received letters pat-
ent on their swinging desk for their cabinet uprights.
The desk is not only an improvement over the old
style of desk, but adds very much to the otherwise
handsome appearance of these splendid instruments.
MESSRS. WM. FOLKS & Co. have demonstrated
the popularity of the Dunham piano by leasing more
spacious and commodious quarters. Their new fac-
tory is located at 428 and 430 East Nineteenth street,

and is a large and well lighted building, and well
adapted for piano making. The change from the
old to the new quarters was necessitated by the in-
creasing demand for the instruments which this
concern turns out. Messrs. Wm. Folks & Co. are
deserving of much credit for the position they hav»
attained among piano manufacturers. It is a just
reward for energy and perseverance.
IT is said that George W. Carter reports the Grove-
steen & Fuller baby as being in good health, and
likely to live, notwithstanding its feebleness of birth,
and poor crying qualities. We know that Mr. Carter is
a good, strong, robust man for a father, and if it take&
-after him, it will bear a good deal of thumping with-
out changing his tune. It is to be hoped that the
"young one " may grow up healthy, and be worthy
of its noble sire.—Music Trade Free Pre»8.
A TENNESSEE agent, who has recently began to-
handle the Carpenter organs, writes enthusiastically
in their praise. He says he has handled organs of
all the different makes for twenty years, and the
Carpenter is the b«st instrument that ever came into
his hands.

they do so we can assure them a hearty welcome
and courteous treatment, whether they buy anything

sent direct to the home office in Boston.
E. ZOLLEE, formerly of Indianapolis, Ind., butnow
of this city, has made so much money in the piana
and organ business, that he is perfectly satisfied with
his wealth, and has retired from the business. He
is now going to seek for those qualities which go so
well with money, viz., popularity and reputation,,
and has entered the field of inventors.
