THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Emerson Piano.
FOR ALMOST FIFTY YEARS IT HAS GIVEN A GOOD
ACCOUNT OF ITSELF BETTER TO-
DAY THAN EVER.
It is gratifying to learn from authentic
sources, in response to inquiries concerning
present conditions and future prospects, that
the output of Emerson pianos so far during
the present season has been large, and the
outlook for the balance of the year encourag-
ing in the highest degree.
Emerson pianos are now in use in every
State and in Canada. They are also shipped
to Europe and South America.
But the
world is large and even with the most praise-
worthy persistence of the firm for fifty years
and ample facilities for extensive distribution,
the ground cannot be covered satisfactorily
.for a long time to come.
One of the chief, recommendations of the
Emerson piano since the first Emerson in-
strument was constructed in 1849 has been
its tone, full, rich and enduring. This, and
other fine qualities of the original Emerson
products have been improved and perfected,
their musical and artistic merits keeping pace
with the material and financial progress of
the company, and in full accord with the
rapid advance in the musical culture of the
age.
The Emerson pianos have achieved a re-
markable success during the past few years.
Perhaps the best illustration of the firm's
progress and present standard can be found
in the Emerson new Style 14. It must be
seen and heard to be fully appreciated. In
every sense of the word it is a superb instru-
ment, of which the manufacturers can feel
proud.
Bright Outlook for the " Pack-
ard."

John H. Schoener, years ago a wealthy
piano manufacturer, died this morning of
dropsy, aged ninety years. He was the firs
to introduce carved piano legs in this section.
Some of his pianos which he made thirty-five
or forty years ago are still in use.

S. R. Kelso, of the Kelso Piano Co., in an-
swer to a question put by The Review made
on its tour in quest of items of interest, said:
"Business with us is good and has been ever
since the season began. We are turning out
fifty instruments every week and will soon
have to make a bigger average to keep up
with orders. The Kelso new style 17 is a
big seller and pleases all our patrons."
Arthur B. Homadieu, the well-known piano
dealer of Wilkesbarre, Pa., was married last
