BOSTON, MASS.
THE
Sterling Company,
this journey mainly for purposes of health, but will doubt-
less make many pleasant calls upon the company's
numerous agents.
HENRY HOLTZMAN & SONS, of Pittsburgh, Pa., manu-
facturers and importers of piano covers, scarfs, stools,
ecc, are doing a most excellent business. Their goods
have acquired a high reputation throughout the country.
MARC cannot get at the Miller grapes, and therefore
pretends that they are sour. In reality. Marc is sour,
not the grapes. Our usually jocular contemporary of
Fourteenth street is generally sour when engaged in
'•analyzing" the advertisements of the Henry F. Miller
& Sons Piano Co., Boston, Mass. The Millers could
sweeten the tantalizing fruit for poor Marc, but, to their
everlasting credit, they decline.

A MAGNIFICENT square piano, made to order for the
Japanese Government at a cost of $3,000, was lately on
exhibition in the rooms of the Schomaker Piano
Company, Philadelphia, Pa.
AFTER a prolonged illness, borne with the most ex-
emplary fortitude, Mrs. Paul G. Mehlin, wife of the
head of the firm of Paul G. Mehlin & Sons, N. Y., ex-
pired on the morning of Nov. 2nd inst. The devotion
of her husband and children throughout the fatal sick-
ness was most fervent, but neither this nor the unre-
mitting attention of the physician sufficed to stay the
hand of the destroyer. Messrs. Mehlin & Sons have
the sincere sympathy of very numerous friends both in
and out of the trade.

THE Fort Wayne Organ Company, Fort Wayne, Ind.,

deavors to fill a large number of orders.
THE Man in the Moon seems to have been supplied
with a telescope by one of the Clough & Warren Organ
Company's (Detroit, Mich.) agents in that elevated
locality. Even with this powerful lens, however, the
Man finds considerable difficulty in discovering the top
of the Eiffel Tower.

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon
the market has met with such success as THE
STERLING, and thousands will testify to their superi-
ority of workmanship and durability. Why? Be-
cause they are made just as perfect as a piano can be
made.
THE STERLING ORGAN has always taken the lead,
and the improvements made this year puts it far
ahead of all others. 1^- Send for Catalogue.

THE Minneapolis, (Minn.) Tribunt Star publishes a
striking cut of the new quarters about to be erected for
the Century Piano and Organ Company, Minneapolis.
The business of this firm has grown to such enormous
proportions that they are compelled to enlarge their
already gigantic facilities. The new Century Building
is expected to be ready for occupancy in June next. It
will contain a spacious music hall for concerts, etc., and
the remainder of the structure will be set apart for the
company's rapidly increasing business in musical mer-
chandise, pianos and organs.
A VERY successful musical festival was held in the
early days of the present month at Bradford, Pa., under
the direction of Dr. H. R. Palmer. An important
feature of the occasion was the Chevalier De Kontski's
performances upon the Decker Brothers (N. Y.) concert
grand piano. The festival was managed by Harrington
Bros., the well-known music dealers of Bradford, Pa.,and
sole agents in that city for the Decker Brothers, Knabe,
and " Opera" pianos, and the Burdette, Clough & War-
ren, Newman Brothers, United States, and Peloubet
organs. Miss S. S. Harrington, as accompanist, further
illustrated the efficiency of the Decker Bros, piano.
FOR a genial, level-headed, thorough hustler commend
us to C. A. Smith, the rising piano manufacturer of
Chicago, 111. This gentleman deserves all the prosperity
that is being showered upon him. Though crowded
with business, he is ever ready with a smile and a kindly
word. This may or may not be attributable to the fact
that Mr. Smith's fine high grade medium pianos are
overspreading a wider area than ever. They are ex-
cellently constructed instruments, of beautiful tone and
touch, and in point of price come well within the means
of music lovers of moderate income.
F. CONNOR, N. Y., reports a grand trade at his ware-
rooms in East Forty second street. If his immediate
neighbors are as musical as they are wealthy and fash-
inable Francis ought to have >good cause for Thanks-
giving.
DEALERS should take a good look at the Koehler
piano, which may be seen at the factory Nos. 729 and
731 First avenue, between Forty-first and Forty-second
streets, N. Y. It contains many novel features, and has
already excited considerable curiosity.

THE electro-bronze art work of The Homer D. Bron-
son Co., Beacon Falls, Conn., is proving of great value to
