THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Wissner Pianos.
THEY STAND THE " TEST —HANDSOME DIS-
PLAY IN BROOKLYN AND NEW YORK.
Only those who are fully informed as to
the details of the piano business done at re-
tail in New York city, Brooklyn, New Jer-
sey, and other points near at hand, know
how strong a hold the Wissner pianos have
among the music-loving members of the
several communities referred to. Not only
are they to be found in hundreds of homes,
but the record shows that the people who
possess them are the most earnest advocates
and the greatest admirers of their admir-
able qualities.
The advance of the Wissner products has
been sure and steady, until now an estab-
lished position has been reached. The ex-
hibits at Wissner Hall are choice and de-
cidedly attractive. The examples shown
at the New York warerooms on East Four-
teenth street are equal to the desires of the
most fastidious. Another strong feature
in the progress of the Wissner piano in
public estimation is the constant calls made
for them to use at concerts and other enter-
tainments. Under such conditions, pianos
are severely tested. The present demand
in this direction shows that they can and
do stand the test.
Ann Arbor Organ Co. Busy.
Talk about business being dull; here is
the Ann Arbor Organ Co. actually working
over time to fill orders, and this in the or-
gan department too, when a little while ago
we were told that the organ trade was dead.
But active business conditions put an end
to this style of prophesying.
The new Henderson pianos, which are
also manufactured by the Ann Arbor Organ
Co., are a great success. All who have ex-
amined them are unanimous in predicting
an immediate popularity. The Henderson
piano is well-built and satisfying, just
like the man it is called after, and as
the colloquialism has it, " it is going to get
there in good shape."
tion, but he uses thought and the highest
order of intelligence in securing results.
In consequence, Mr. Schmidt enjoys the
patronage and confidence of many influen-
tial manufacturers who prefer to give him
their orders because they know, first, that
the work done will be well done, and sec-
ondly, that the price to be paid will be the
very lowest consistent with first-class work-
manship.

Why David H. Schmidt Succeeds. High Grade :
THE ANN ARBOR
ORGAN CO.,
During a recent visit to the factory of
David H. Schmidt, Ea~sf 163d street and
Melrose avenue, The Review noted with
pleasure that Mr. Schmidt's machinery for
the manufacture of piano hammers was in
full swing, under the care of a busy staff of
thoroughly trained workmen. No man, in
any branch, has worked harder or produced
more reliable results along a special line.
Not only does he make hammers according
to the best possible standards of construe-
