THE
It is an important fact, very significant
-too, that not one dealer who handles the
McPhail pianos failed during the depres-
sion of the past four years.
Bush & Gerts, Chicago, will have their
new catalogues ready for the trade next
week. Business with the Bush & Gerts
concern for the past-year has been very
satisfactory, and the outlook for '98 is most
encouraging.

vide a convenient construction, whereby
the music-rack may be made to normally
conceal the music-sheet of the self-playing
mechanism and yet be itself movable into
the case of the instrument, so as to uncover
the music-sheet and present a finished
front when thus disposed of.

ent No. 595,847, dated Dec. 21st, 1897.

and readily.
Trade Mark for Pianos. James F. Con-
over, Chicago, 111. No. 30,991, dated
Dec.
21st, 1897.
The trade mark consists of the word
symbol, " Pompadour," which constitutes-
the essential feature of the trade mark.
This trade mark has been used continu-
ously in business since February 15th,
1896.
The class of merchandise to which
this trade mark applies is pianos; it is in-
tended to display the word upon a con-
spicuous part of the instrument.
L. Ricca, the well-known manufacture!
of mandolins and guitars, has leased the
third floor of the building, 162-4 West
27th street, and has entered into the manu-
facture of the Ricca piano. Two styles of
uprights will be manufactured. It is in-
tended to make a good instrument at a
medium price.
