Our Products in Germany.
PROPOSITION TO FORM A COMPANY THERE TO
HANDLE AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.
[Special to The Review.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20,
1898.
"There is a movement on foot," says
John A. Barnes, Consul at Cologne, in a
despatch to the State Department, " t o in-
corporate a company under the laws of
Germany, which will be prepared to erect
suitable buildings for the display and sale
of American products, providing manufac-
turers and dealers in America show a dis-
position to aid and encourage
enterprise.

" This proposed company will construct
buildings as desired by special interests at
an agreed rental, and will als(i,JUeJ_prepared
to contract with the owners of merchandise
to handle and sell their goods upon com-
mission and guarantee the payment of. all
bills of goods sold by them or their agents.
" Germany appreciates our standing as a
nation, and I believe would be willing to
meet us half-way in a fair exchange of
commodities. Would it not be well for a
number of our manufacturers to send over
a representative to make a thorough inves-
tigation of the field, with a view to making
arrangements with parties here for the
housing and handling of their various pro-
ducts? "

THE EVERETT CONCERT GRAND.
guish purity and evenness of tone through-
out the entire register.
This superior tone quality is a distinctly
uniform feature of the Everett product.
The production and transmission of
musical tone, by means of hammers,
strings, sounding-board and other parts of
the piano are governed by well-defined
acoustic laws.
To these laws the Everett Piano Co. ad-
here in proper sequence in their grand
and upright pianos, but the tone of their
piano is so woven and interwoven with its
every detail of construction that on no
single feature do they entirely depend to
produce the most musically satisfactory
result.
The Everett pianos combine to the full-
est degree a powerful, clear and rich tone,
a rare, sweet, delicate, sympathetic sing-
ing quality of prolonged duration,and that
feeling of depth or reserve possibility
which always appeals to the musician.
This is particularly exemplified in the
Everett grand, an illustration of which ap-
pears herewith.
The scale has th-e same tone character
throughout. It is delightful in evenness,
with resonant bass, a middle register firm
and musical, and a treble of liquid brill-
iancy; all so graded that a different shade
of tone is produced by each varying stroke
of the keys.
through the sound-producing bodies, to
the extreme lightness of a pianissimo.
Unerring force and precision have been so
combined in the mechanical construction
of the action that is in the truest sense
flexible, crisp and easy, and of such char-
acter that it furnishes the performer, with-
out effort, the opportunity of producing
nuances in the highest degree of excel-
lence. A perfect action invites the artis-
tic touch—a poor action repels it.
An Application Denied.
In the matter of the voluntary dissolu-
tion of the Wendell Music Co. /limited,
Justice Edwards has rendered a decision
denying the application for an order to
compel the receiver to pay over certain
moneys to Isaac B. Cross, former sheriff
of Albany county. In his order the justice
holds that the attorney-general should
have had due notice of the application,
and for this reason the same is denied
without costs.—Albany, N. Y., Express.
A New York Incorporation.
The Consolidated Music Publishers' Asso-
ciation of New York City was incorpo-
rated at Albany, on Monday last, with a
capital stock of $5,000. Isadore Sachs, of
86 Canal Street, this city, with two others,
will constitute the Board of Directors.
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 19, 1898.
The Lyro-Chord Manufacturing Co., of
this city, recently incorporated for the
manufacture of musical instruments, has
leased two floors of the warehouse at the
southeast corner of Holliday and Hillen
streets, and has commenced operations.
Machinery has been installed, and by
Nov. 1st the company expects to employ
150 hands, and to turn out 1,500 lyro-
chords a week. The hands employed will
include tuners, painters, varnishers, wire
workers, mill hands and girls. The in-
strument is the invention of Joseph Berno-
lak, of this city, who has secured a patent
on the device. M. J. Conway is the presi-
dent of the company; J. H. Conway, sec-
retary and treasurer; Joseph Bernolak,
general manager, and J. Rod berg, super-
intendent.
Tuning Impostors Abroad.
Scores of complaints are reaching Phila-
delphia manufacturers and dealers from
parties who have been victimized by a
number of tuners who are going through
that city and many adjoining towns
professing to be skilled tuners in the
employ of Philadelphia houses. Not only
have they secured money, but they are
reported to have seriously damaged many
valuable instruments.
The authorities
have been notified and are taking steps to
capture the parties.
A. Redewell, the piano king of Phoenix,
Ariz., has been visiting Tucson, Ariz.,
with a view of opening a branch store in
that place.
