SAN
FRANCISCO, NOV. 13,
1896.
USINESS still continues its cheerful
and encouraging outlook. Reports
from the South indicate a decided improve"
ment and more orders are being placed.
The event of the week was the appear-
ance of Mme. Bloomfield-Zeisler, who
played at Metropolitan Temple for the first
time last Tuesday. The first audience was
rather small for this artist to face but the
enthusiasm made up for the lack of num-
bers. The succeeding recitals were largely
attended and those yet to be given will
probably draw crowded houses. Mme.
Zeisler has been accepted in San Francisco
as the equal of any pianist who has ever
come to the Coast. Her programs have
shown her versatility and ability in all
styles of execution. The magnificent
Steinway grand responded perfectly to her
delicate touch, and each whisper of a tone
permeated every part of the great temple
and evoked many complimentary comments
from the audience.
Kohler & Chase are daily receiving letters
announcing the improved condition in the
country. They are getting new goods
every day and are building up quite a
foreign trade. They are sending a great
deal of band and orchestra music to Aus-
tralia, and instruments to Honolulu and
the West Coast of Mexico, and recently
filled an order for Alaska.
Byron Mauzy says the election of Mc-
Kinley has restored confidence, and he has
already closed a number of sales that were
waiting for the result. He himself has
placed orders for several car-loads to be
shipped immediately. Prof. W. J. Batch-
elder will give a musical evening at Byron
Mauzy Hall early in December; Mr. E.
Steinegger, the pianist, is preparing an
elaborate program to be given at the same
B
hall, and Mr. Abe Sundland's pupils will
give a recital there before the holidays.
TheZeno Mauvais Music Co. have secured
the services of the Quaker City Quartette
to sing its publications, beginning next
week with "MaAngeline" at theOrpheum.
They have a new song in press—a quartette
by Shawhan, entitled, "When Mary Was
Making the Tea." Goldthorpe & Co., of
New York, the popular manufacturers of
stereopticon slides, have just completed
fine sets of slides for the two descriptive
songs entitled, "A Convict's Hope" and
"That Is Love," both of which were pub-
lished by the Zeno Mauvais Co.
A. J. Palmer, the Sacramento represen-
tative of the Steinway, the Emerson and
the Newton pianos, was in town this week.
He intends to improve the appearance of
his store by putting in a handsome new
front and adding a couple of stories, which
will make his corner an imposing one.
Sherman Clay & Co. have a magnificent
window display this week of their Courtois
and Mahillon band instruments. They are
arranged artistically on a pale green back-
ground and attract a great deal of atten-
tion.
Charles Tonk, of William Tonk & Bro.,
New York, passed through this city en
route for Los Angeles, where he will stop
several weeks visiting a relative.
De Volney Everett, of the Ivers & Pond
Piano Co., is in the city.

The Apollo Harp
The latest improvements in these
instruments place them clearly in
the lead. Dealers should investi-
gate their merits. The wonderful
transposing keyboard enables the
performer to play in all keys. .:.

A BOON TO THE PIANO DEALER
Knowing and fully realizing the very great difficulties experienced by the dealer in keeping their stock
in selling and presentable condition, in the matter of external appearance, we have placed upon the market
a polish that will at once remove these difficulties and enable the dealer (at very little time and expense) to
keep his stock in salable condition, by simply following the directions, as found plainly printed on each bottle.
A Trial Bottle Will Convince You
The surface of a Piano will not cloud or have a smoky appearance after using it, and upon proper
application it will remove this cloudy appearance so often seen, and found on the best make of Pianos,
provided the polish is applied as directed.
It will cause no injury to the Piano, as we have used it successfully on our own make, and sold
thousands of bottles to our customers, who have been loud in their praise of it.
