THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Spies announce the
marriage of their daughter, Catherine
Elizabeth, to Edward A. Scott on October
27 at eight o'clock P.M. The wedding will
take place at 304 West End avenue, this
city.
A. B. Cameron, president of the Gibson
Piano Co., who is journeying through the
West in the interest of his house, is re-
ported to be in jubilant spirits as a result
of the splendid business which he has
transacted since he left Greater New York
two weeks ago.
Theo. Schulze's music store, Seneca
street, Utica, N.Y., was entered by thieves
last Saturday and a number of instruments
were stolen. The thieves were captured
and a number of instruments stolen from
other stores were found in their quarters.
They have been held for trial.
F. G. Smith has been entertaining dur-
ing the past week at his palatial home,
in Brooklyn, Mr. and Mrs. Farr, of Chi-
cago, the latter the only daughter of the
ate Isaac N. Camp, and Miss M. Curtis,
daughter of Mr. B. Curtis, of Kansas City,
Mo.

ter class of trade use them.
Thos. Floyd-Jones, of Haines Bros, in-
corporated, started early in the week on
an extended Western trip. He will prob-
ably be away three weeks. This week's
report at the factory is good. The demand
for new style 17 is increasing.
Henry B. and Adolph H. Fischer are
away from the city for a few days on busi-
ness. At the factory business is reported
good.
" Big orders are pouring in on us from
our agents in all sections of the country,"
said F. G. Smith, of Bradbury fame, in The
Review office on Thursday, " and we are
exceedingly pleased with the business out-
look."
It is hustle, bustle and hard work for the
80 employees of the Dolgeville Piano Case
Co. just now to supply the growing demand
for their superior product, says the Dolge-
ville Herald, and Messrs. Stultz and Shel-
skey are equal to the emergency.
Julius Breckwoldt, manufacturer of sound-
ing boards, etc., Dolgeville, N. Y., reports
business as excellent. Orders are crowd-
ing in and the indications for the future
look very bright.
In his present fall tour, Wm. Knabe,
of Wm. Knabe & Co., Baltimore, has jour-
neyed to the Pacific Coast. His trip through-
out is proving an exceedingly satisfactory
The Kingsbury pianos are being splen-
didly advertised by the Chicago Dispatch,
which is offering a number of these instru-
ments as prizes in a voting contest.
Albert T. Strauch, of Strauch Bros., has
been visiting his many friends in the trade
in Chicago.
E. W. Furbush is about due in Boston
from his Western trip. He has booked
some big orders.
Morris Steinert of New Haven contrib-
uted an interesting article entitled "Ideal
Musical Conductors" to last Sunday's New
Haven Register.
William E. Wheelock, head of the Weber-
Wheelock Co., left town on Wednesday on
an extended Western tour. He will be
away several weeks. Mr. Woodford, tra-
veling representative of the firm, starts
early in the week on an Eastern tour. The
new Weber and Wheelock catalogues have
met with warm approval everywhere.

A LIVING
ILLUSTRATION OF WELL EARNED
PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS.
The increased demand for high-grade
pianos has necessarily brought about a
greater call for high-grade actions. Promi-
nent among the action-makers who are
benefiting by this condition of affairs, are
Wessell, Nickel & Gross. They report
business good and growing. Considering
their methods this is not a matter for sur-
prise.
Taught by an experience that has natu-
rally fallen to them in the varied exper-
iments of the past twenty years and more,
they have as occasion demanded discarded
old methods and substituted new ones.
These are the fruits of well-directed energy.
There has been an incessant striving on
their part to keep in advance of the times,
to anticipate every new demand, and to be
found foremost in the line of progressive
development. This has been the active
principle under which the business of the
firm has been advanced until it stands, to-
day, a living illustration of well-earned
prosperity and progress.
The Estey Co. of St. Louis have taken the
agency for the Wilcox & White Symphony
organs and Angelus self-playing pianos.
About fifteen employees of the Farrand
& Votey Organ Co. have sent a petition to
the municipal authorities remonstrating
against the system of transfers used by the
Detroit Railroad.

When a piano manufacturer tells you
his pianos are the best, and that no others
are worth considering, ask questions.

Maybe it's the greater elasticity of the

altogether make so many dealers persist
