Manufacturers of the Highest Grade
of Reed Organ.
BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT.
ESTABLISHED
THE Wilcox & White Organ Co., Meriden, Conn.,
have transferred their Richmond, Va., agency from
Ryland & Lee to the new firm of Hume, Miner & Co.
Mr. Miner has been manager at Ryland and Lee's
fora number of years and is well acquainted with
the trade in Richmond and vicinity. Mr. Hum© is
old in the business, having branch houses in Norfolk
and Portsmouth. This move of Wilcox & White
Organ Co. is a wise one and we predict a much larger
trade for them in that section than ever before.
THE latest style upright piano manufactured by
S. G. Chickerlng & Co , Boston, is very handsome
and the tone apparently perfect. This firm has met
with wonderful success in a short time, and the
S. G. Chlckering piano is sold only by first class
agents.
The Piano-makers' Union have decided that the
contract system, employed by some manufacturers,
is against the interest of the union and have there-
fore notified those manufacturers who are engaged in
having their work done in this way, that after May
1, they intend to abolish It.
