THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
THE handsome store on George street, next
door to the post office, has been thoroughly re-
modelled and is now occupied by a branch of
the piano and organ establishment of Mathushek
& Son Piano Co. This firm enjoys a well won
reputation, and is a valuable addition to our city.
The branch is in charge of James A. Nichols,
from the New York headquarters, a salesman
who understands his business from top to bot-
tom. The factories whose goods are handled by
this firm are Mathushek & Son, Leins & Co. and
