O. A. Field Will Handle the Ma=

A
S exclusively announced in this paper
two weeks ago, Oscar A. Field, for-
merly secretary and treasurer of the Jesse
French Organ and Piano Co., has purchased
the business of Edward Nennstiel, of St.
Louis, and has opened an establishment at
1003 Olive street.. The Mason & Hamlin
Co.'s instruments will be handled as lend-
ers, and, in fact, the establishment may
be considered a branch house of that
company, with Oscar A. Field as man-
ager. The Brambach piano will also be
sold by Mr. French, and other instru-
ments are under consideration. This is an
important move that cannot fail to be of
benefit to all concerned.
Bailey's Music Rooms.
T
HE management of Bailey's music
rooms, Burlington, Yt., have secured
a store in the Y. M. C. A. Building, for-
merly occupied by Miss Strain, and will
move their stock there about the first of
December.
The store now occupied by them they
have used for seventeen years, and during
all of this time has been under the compe-
tent management of Col. H. W. Hall,
through whose efforts the new and more
elegant quarters have been secured.
Demand for the Ann Arbor Organs
T
HE Ann Arbor Organ Co. has received
an order from its London, Eng., agent
for several more organs, says the Washte-
naw Times, which would seem to indicate
that its organs are gradually working their
way into public favor in that country. The
shipments of the company for last month
were nearly three times as great as those of
the same month last year. For the month
of September the shipments were almost
twice as many as those of the same month
last year, and for the past ten months very
nearly equal to those of any previous full
year. It is a good showing and one the
company can feel proud of.

Weser Bros. Busy.
T
HE mandolin attachment and other im-
provements which have been embodied
in the Weser Bros, pianos have not only
added to the attractiveness of these instru-
ments, but, as might be expected, have
helped to swell the number of orders which
have been steadily flowing in for some
months. Push is the order of the day in
the Weser factory, and John A. Weser and
his brothers are up to their eyes in business.
THERE has been a change of the Knabe
agency in St. Louis. The Thiebes-Stierlin
Music Co. will handle this instrument as
their leader, and arc going to make a re-
cord with it. J. L. Kicsclhorst, the former
Knabe agent, is at present quite ill.
