summer they will probably erect an additional large
building, and construct their own cases.

A NEW chin-rest for violinists, which is capable of
being adjusted to suit every player, has been introduced
by Schuster Brothers, Markneukirchen, Germany.
FRANK M. GROW, of Rutland, Vt., dealer in pianos,
organs and musical merchandise, is pushing the goods
of the Sterling Company, (Derby, Conn.) with distin-
guished success. Mr. Grow is a young man of great
enterprise and tact. He is highly esteemed by the
trade at large, and bids fair to acquire a national repu-
tation. His growing prosperity is in some degree the
result of his fine orchestra, always in tune and up to
time for concerts, church festivals, school exhibitions,
weddings, dances, wakes, funerals, presidential elections,
race meetings, shooting matches, executions, thanks-
givings, and Centennial celebrations. Oh, yes ; Frank
is growing. You can see Frank grow in the estimation
of his fellow-citizens every day ; and as a hustler he
does not knuckle down to any man.
THERE is no doubt whatever that excellent pianos
and organs are splendidly turned out from the Kellmer
piano and organ works, Hazleton, Pa. About a month
ago Mr. Kellmer placed on the market his new style C

new style of organ.

T H E Musical Courier is bestowing much fatherly
counsel upon our young Western friend Presto. We
fear, however, that the latter will prove a rebellious son,
notwithstanding that in two weeks he has supplied
Blumenberg with material for five columns. The pages
of the Courier would present a sorry spectacle, nowa-
days, w**re it not for its " so-called" music trade con-
temporaries.

SINCE the organization of The Dennison Organ &
Music Company of Glasgow, Ky., that firm have pros-
pered beyond all expectation. They have received,
very recently, numerous large orders from all parts of
the South for musical goods of various kinds. During
the summer months the company will be represented
in the Southern States by a special agent. Their trade
in violins, banjos, guitars, and other stringed instru-
ments has grown to enormous proportions. • The house
also have a thriving branch in the city of Howling
Green, Ky.
A CKNTENNIAL Reception and Ball was held at the
Herlich Piano Factory, Paterson, N. J , on Wednesday-

NEWBY & EVANS, N. Y., are enjoying a trade whose
proportions exceed their most hopeful anticipations of
a few months ago. Their factory is barely large enough
to meet the constant demands upon it, though at the
time of its completion the building was ample for their
then present purposes.

MR. MOWRY, with the A. B. Chase Co., Norwalk, O.,
is gradually recovering from his recent attack of fever;
and it is confidently hoped that he may be on the road
again in a very short time.
HARDLY a day passes during which C. H. Henning,
the piano-maker of 341 West Eleventh street, N. Y.,
does not receive from new customers letters expressive
of their delight with his instruments. On one day this
week Mr. Henning received three of such letters, one
from Washington, D. C , another from Detroit, Mich.,
and a third from Coshocton, O., and in each case a se-
cond order was given. Further compliments have been
received by this rising manufacturer from Chicago, 111.,
where his pianos are an attractive feature of Freeborn
G. Smith's warerooms. Mr. Henning is not the man to
boast of his achievements, but merit tells all the time.
IT appears that the New England Piano Company
are indebted to Sylvester Tower in the sum of $30,000.
How much of this he will ultimately recover it is of
course hard to say. Pending the recovery of the whole
or any part of the debt, Mr. Tower will probably refrain
from a rashly lavish disbursement of eleemosynary
$5 bills.
