JOHN W. NORTHROP, who has been on the road for
many years for the W. W. Kimball Co., of Chicago,
has been appointed general salesman in the Chicago
warerooms. John is one of the best salesmen in the
country. His genial manners and superb mustache
make him v«ry popular, especially with the ladies.
WJI. F. TWAY, 44 East Fourteenth street, keeps
well abreast of the times, as a visit to his elegant
new warerooms will demonstrate. Mr. Tway has
recently enlarged his warerooms to nearly three
times their former size, and one can always find in
them a fine stock of his excellent instruments
CLARK, of Story & Clark, was in town
last week. Mr. Clark is the inventor of several new
appliances for organs, and has just returned from

tions patented.

severe illness.
A CATALOGUE is being prepared by Strauch Bros.,
the action manufacturers, which will be the most
complete and exhaustive of the kind ever issued to
the trade.
THE Hallet & Davis piano is selling like hot cakes
in Milwaukee, Wis. Their agent, Mr. A. A. Fisher,
has disposed of over seventy-five instruments within
the past three months. When the quality of the
piano is considered, this fact is not at all to be
wondered at.
SHAW & ROBB, St. Johnsbury, Vt., have secured
the agency of the Stelnway piano. They also have
the Emerson, which they have sold since starting,
about four months ago. Although this firm has been
in business only a short time, they have laid the
foundation for an excellent trade, and have gained
the confidence of the people with whom they deal
by their straighforward business methods.
E. C. BOURNE & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., have taken
the agency of the Boardman & Gray piano.
THE A. B. Chase Co., Norwalk, Ohio, are receiving,
very flattering testimonials to the value of their

has long felt the need of, their present quarters being
Inadequate to the business of the concern.
THE Miller Organ Co., of Lebanon, Pa., have lately
built a number of small pipe organs, having one
manual and pedals, and costing from five to eight
hundred dollars. These organs are complete in all
respects and have given unqualified satisfaction to
their possessors, who are delighted with them.
They are furnished with a very effective swell and
one set of combination pedals, so that many beauti-
ful effects can be produced, which formerly were
only possible on the two manual and pedal. These
organs are such a decided hit that orders are coming
in unsolicited faster than they can be accommodated.
The Company has not yet decided to go into the
pipe organ business, but we know if they do they
will make it a success, as the word fail knows no
place in the vocabulary of the Miller Organ Com-
pany.

pianos. We wish them much success in their new
departure, and believe they will have it, for with the
splendid reputation already gained for their organs,
they can ill afford to make anything but a first-class
piano.
THE Weber piano has received the indorsement of
the " first lady of the land," if the fact that she had
a Weber upright in use at her Deer Park cottage is
an indication, and the New York Herald, of June 5th,
says: "For goodness' sake, why don't you tell ui
how the bridal nest is furnished ?" asked twenty im-
pending brides in the outside world. The answer is
that the four bedrooms are plainly finished in black
walnut and white ash, polished. The walls are
tinted. The furnituro is light, hard wood, highly
polished. The ivory keys of an expensive Weber
piano are caressed by the bride, who is a thoughtful
and exquisite player. Her touch is sympathetic and
almost electrical. Chopin, Schumann, and Beethoven
are her favorite composers. There are not many
ornaments in the parlor, but it is inviting and
cheerful.
WE are informed that the B. Shoninger Co. has
taken the agency of the New England pianos.
W. PBOWSE, of the firm of Keith, Prowse & Co.,
London, England, is dead. Mr. Prowse was a
