Rudolf Dolge Sails.
Desires Prices.
ON Wednesday morning- last Rudolf
Dolge sailed for Europe on the steamer
"Paris." He will be absent two or three
months.
Of course it is needless to say
that the autoharp business will boom in
Europe by reason of Mr. Dolge's visit.
J. E. DILLARD, 8 Clayton, Montgom-
ery, Ala., writes us that he intends to en-
gage in the manufacture of pianos and or-
gans; also that he is ready for correspond-
ence with manufacturers of the various
parts of the instruments regarding prices,
etc.
The Thompson Reporting Co.
W
E have at hand a copy of the Thomp-
son Reporting Co. 's credit ratings
in the music trade for '95. In looking over
this book we notice many improvements
over the former volumes issued by the
Thompson Co. They have introduced the
list of dealers in each state by giving the
business laws in reference to chattel mort-
gages, conditional sales, and other points of
interest to the trade. This in itself is of
much value. Also there are about eighteen
hundred towns additional to the previous
volume. It is a book convenient in size
and valuable for the manufacturer and
wholesaler.
Encourage Trade Papers.
F
VERY employer should encourage the
. _ reading of good trade papers by his
employes. What benefits them benefits him,
and the employe who does not profit by the
careful study of a paper in his line is either
very stupid or has stumbled upon a very
stupid paper. — Trade Press.
Rich with Features.
T
HE January number of THE KEYNOTE,
devoted to music, art, drama and lit-
erature, is rich with features pertaining to
the subjects mentioned above. The cover
holds a fine likeness of Bernhard Staven-
hagen, the wonderful pianist, who is now
in this country on a concert tour. Besides
the well-filled departments, there are two
compositions, a Norwegian cradle song, and
a song entitled "Alone," the words by Rob-
ert J. Burdette, and music by Walter A.
Phillips.
THE KEYNOTE is published by
Edward Lyman Bill, at No. 3 East 14th
street, New York City, and the subscrip-
tion price is $1.50 per year.—Jersey Mirror,
Mt. Holly, N. J.
The Man Who Never Reads.
T
HE business man who never reads
or has no use for a trade journal, says
the Trade Press, is now scheduled as be-
longing to one of two classes: Either he is
of the self-sufficient class who have nothing
more to learn in this world, or of that class
who, like Topsy, have "just growed u p "
in business because they could not help it r
and who expect to learn only through the
hard knocks of personal experience.
The Next Dinner.
T
HE next dinner of the Chicago Music
Trades Association has been fixed for
Feb. 16th, at the Auditorium Hotel. The
speakers on the occasion will be Senator
Cullom and Hon. J. J. Connelly.
It is
understood thnt politics will not be their
theme.
The flerrill Piano Company.
T
HE Merrill Piano Company, like every-
one else, found trade quite good dur-
ing the early part of January. They have
received proofs, however, during the past
week, that business is looking up. Their
new style " M " continues to be a great
favorite with the trade.
LUXTON & BLACK, the enterprising rep-
resentatives of the Colby Piano in Buf-
falo, N. Y., are well pleased with the busi-
ness done by them since the opening up in
November.
J. H. WKIIMAN, the newly elected presi-
dent of the Wegman Piano Co.,' Auburn,
N. Y., is a worthy successor of his estim-
able father. Though young in years, he is
well acquainted with the business of his
house, and has a practical knowledge of
piano manufacturing.
Gain Knowledge
Of the i4 innards " of a piano by a little reading.
You may have
been a dealer for many years, you may have been a tuner for a
like period, you may have played a little—maybe more; but is
it not well to get a little more practical knowledge?
Some-
thing to bank on—an authority on all matters relating to tun-
ing,, repairing, toning and regulating, scientific instructions—
everything? Written by that eminent authority, Daniel Spillane.
The cost is only a trifle—a dollar.
The book is illustrated,
cloth bound, over a hundred pages. It is called " The Piano. 9 '

Miss Le Garde is well known in the gym-

idea of athletic drills with musical accom-

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 superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because 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
aH others. £^~Send for Catalogue.
