ANNOUNCEMENT.
been obliged, on account of in-
^ - creased demand for our pianos, to seek
better accommodations, we have just completed
movingto our new factory, 615-621 Albany street,
corner of Sharon, where we occupy the entire
building, five stories and basement. The building
contains nearly 50,000 square feet of floor space.
We have, at a large expense, completely equip-
ped the building with automatic sprinklers and
all of the latest improvements to make this one
of the most complete piano manufactories in the
country. We have a very handsome wareroom
and office on the first floor, and the whole build-
ing is very light and admirably adapted for the
purpose of piano manufacturing. This is the
third removal since the business of C. C. Briggs
& Co. was started, and we are pleased to state
that each time it has been to more commodious
quarters. We wish to thank our customers and
friends for their increased patronage, and shall
endeavor, as in the past, to give them a first-
class, honest made piano, and it is our constant
endeavor and study to improve on even the
smallest details, and we feel that our efforts are
being appreciated, by the constantly increasing
sale for our goods. We are now at work on a
new-style large piano, which we are confident
will prove a rapid seller and very popular one.
We should be pleased to receive a call and in-
spection of our new factory and pianos by all of
our friends. Yours respectfully,
•'THE HIGHEST TYPE."

^t|SAL S. RAND, a traveling salesman for the
****• G. R. Lampard music house, met with
an exciting experience yesterday, and the out-
come of it will be a suit entitled Hal S. Rand
vs. the Chicago, Santa Fe and California Rail-
way. Mr. Rand yesterday boarded a Santa Fe
train at Dallas and tendered the conductor the
regular fare to Fort Madison, 28 cents. The
conductor demanded the usual ten cents extra,
which Mr. Rand refused to pay. Thereupon the
conductor stopped the train a short distance
below Pontoosuc, had it backed up to the plat-
form, and forcibly ejected Mr. Rand from the
coach, greatly to the edification of the passen-
gers and the population of the town of Pontoosuc,
which was at the station. To add insult to in-
jury, the conductor refused to return to Mr.
Rand his twenty eight cents, and also kept his
sample case and his umbrella. Mr. Rand walk-
ed back to Dallas, two miles, and came home
last evening. It looks like a sure case for
damages against the road.—Burlington, la.,
