THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
National Musical String Co.'s
NEW FACTORY AN UP-TO-DATE PLANT WITH
FACILITIES FOR A BIG OUTPUT.
There is perhaps no finer or more conve-
nient plant in the State than that of the
National Musical String Co. on George's
Road near the station of the Raritan River
Railroad in New Brunswick, say the Fredo-
nian of that place. It is equipped with all
modern conveniences and every provision
made to reduce the cost of production to
the lowest minimum as well as to provide
for the comfort of the employees. The plant
was constructed after plans prepared by
George D. Emerson, the superintendent. It
is fitted up with double hard wood floors, and
has a complete system of lighting and heat-
ing. The building is well protected in case
of fire, having a system of automatic sprink-
lers all through the building.
The treasurer of the company, A. M. Paul,
states that he hopes to have the factory in
full operation by March 1st with a force of
150 hands and expects to employ later 200.

BLASIUS 4 PIANO
A LEADER.
The dealer who wants a piano that he can placo
alongside of any piano made, and show it to have more
points, to recommend it in tone, action and design of case,
can find such an instrument in the BLASIUS PIANO,

The BLASIUS is the most perfectly constructed
Piano now before the trade, it embodies the good points
of the world's greatest makes, together with inventions
found only in the B LA SI US PlAh O.

He says that the plant will turn out a thou-
sand gross of the strings in a day. The firm
has a large export trade and sends its goods
to South America, New Zealand, Australia
and England. Theodore Nelson, Jr., an-
other member of the concern, expects to
make New Brunswick his home. These gen-
tlemen are highly pleased with the reception
accorded to them by New Brunswick, and ex-
pect to take an active interest in the affairs
of the city.
Starr Piano's Excellence.
THE CHARACTER OF THE MAKERS A GUAR-
ANTEE BUSY TIMES AT RICHMOND.
The Starr Piano Co., of Richmond, Ind.,
have proved the truth of this old axiom in the
success of their two widely known pianos,
the Starr and the Richmond. Anyone who
knows Benjamin Starr knows that he would
never permit an article of commerce to bear
his name unless it were honestly made. His
own character has been a guarantee, from
the very first, of the Starr piano's excellence.
And so it was that during the very worst of
the financial depression, when most factories
were either entirely closed or working part
time, the Starr works at Richmond were hum-
ming from morning until night, and even then
orders could hardly be filled. No inference
is intended that the majority of manufac-
turers, who were not thus prospered, were suf-
fering from dishonest methods; that would
be an injustice.. But it does go to show
says the Concert-Goer, that when a firm es-
tablishes a reputation for making a first-class
article, the uniform excellence of which may
be relied upon, and sells it at a fair profit,
they will reap their reward. The Starr peo-
ple were far-sighted in foretelling, at the out-
set of their career as piano makers, that the
demand of the future would be for a good in-
strument at a moderate price—known in trade
circles as "medium grade"—and therefore,
when the gale struck, their sails were proper-
ly trimmed. The Starr piano is recognized
to-day as one of the substantial, honest pianos
of the period, and it is going into hundreds
of homes where there is both artistic and
business discrimination.
The Starr people's new second piano, the
Richmond, is also meeting with great favor.
It supplies the demand for an honest, well-
made piano of fair tone quality at a low price.
