very handsome. It is printed by their own printing
company at the factory, and is an excellent speci-

WHIM: in the vicinity of Kranich & Bach's, re-
cently, we dropped in there to get warm and had a
very pleasant chat with Mr. Schutz, the genial ac
countant of the firm. To our inquiry as to what
kind of a year they had had, Mr. Schutz smiled sig-
nificantly and tapping his account books said, "We
were never better satisfied with the condition of those
books." We would have stayed longer, but at this
juncture Mr. Bach entered and in a stentorian voice
inquired if we wanted to buy a piano ? As we had
but just thirteen cents in our clothes we confessed
our inability to purchase any part of a piano, where-
upon we were ordered to decamp. As Mr. Bach's
avoirdupois is considerably in excess of ours we
stood not upon the order of going but skipped at
once.
B. L. SoiiOMON, general agent for the Eranicb &
Bach piano, has opened a branch office and warerooms
in Richmond, Va. The demand for the Kranich &
Bach instruments in the South has grown to such pro-
portions that this move on the part of the firm be-
came absolutely necessary.

JAMES CUMSTON, of Hallet & Cumston, Boston, is
in the city, stopping at St. George Hotel.
THE following wo clip from a late issue of the
Harrisburg, Pa., Telegram, and speaks well for the
house of J. H. Kurzenknabe & Sons, the representa-
tive of the Baus piano in that section :
" The holiday trade has been immense and none did
a larger business in the musical line than the trust-
worthy house of J. H. Kurzenknabe & Sons. They
have now again a new stock of instruments that is a
sight to see. Any one who cannot be suited from
among the thirty five organs, or one out of the fifteen
pianos in stock, must be hard to please. People show
their good taste by patronizing a house that sells a
flrst-cla6S organ as low as $55, and a fine piano as low
as $250 and upward. We will guarantee to all visitors
a hearty welcome and royal treatment at their ware-
rooms, 1202 North Third street."

that their business for 1886 was the best they evor
had, and that they are confident, from the good
name the " Starr " has attained, that 1887 will exceed
last year.
SINCE the establishing of the agency of the Domin
ion Organ and Piano Co. warerooms in this city by
Mr. O. C Klock, the venture has grown to such pro-
portions and Brantford has proved to be such a good
centre to work from, that the company have resolved
to enlarge their facilities here, and business will be
conducted on a much larger scale. Mr. Klook will
associate with himself Mr. B. J. Wade, one of the
most successful men connected with the company.
Larger premises will be secured and handsomely
fitted up, so that Brantford will have a music store
worthy of the name. Mr. Klock deserves success.
He works hard enough to attain it.—Brantford, Ont.
