THE "SMALL GOODS" TRADE
Sold Without Authority.
The Apollo Harp.
[Special to The Review.]
AN INSTRUMENT EVERY DEALER SHOULD HAVE
ON HAND FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 27, 1897.
The Automatic Music Co. has entered
suit against Charles G. Bates to recover
$175,
the value of a music box. Bates is
the owner of a property and he issued a
landlord's warrant against his tenant and
sold her goods for rent due. Among the
articles sold was a music box which the
Automatic company had leased to the ten-
ant. The company now has sued Bates,
alleging that he had no legal right to sell
what did not belong to the tenant.

One of the busiest places in New York
city to-day connected with the music
trades is the Gratz warerooms. The
A-nerican-made Symphonion has made a
big hit. Mr. Gratz's individual hustling,
strengthened by that of his traveling rep-
resentative, Mr. Ingersoll, is largely re-
sponsible for this condition of affairs.
The report this week at the John Church

warerooms is satisfactory. During his
last business trip, Mr. Adams received
orders for a complete small goods equip-
ment from three large and responsible firms
within his territory. The orders were so
promptly filled that these stocks are now
on exhibition for holiday trade.
