THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Brunton wire came out triumphant on
every occasion.
' 'We would like piano-makers to know
more of the Brunton wire, and shall be
glad to respond promptly to sample orders.
This, we feel sure, would lead to business
in many instances. Although our trade
now is active, our facilities are practically
unlimited and we can take good care of
every customer."
THE ANDERSON & NEWTON PIANO.
Arion Cabinet Co.
Justice Scott of the Supreme Court has
appointed Henry G. Schrenkeisen tempor-
ary receiver of the Arion Cabinet Com-
pany, manufacturer of musical cabinets at
501 to 507 West Fiftieth Street, with an of-
fice at 33 Union Square, N. Y., on the ap-
plication of Martin F. Schrenkeisen, Presi-
dent, and Joseph Huber, a Director, in pro-
ceedings for a voluntary dissolution of the
company. The company was incorporated
on Aug. 18, 1898, with a capital stock of
$20,000,
There is a piano in the West which is steadily advancing in the opinion of musical
experts. It is made on advanced mechanical, architectural and musical lines, and it ap-
peals to the cultivated trade. Dealers and musicians who have examined the Anderson
& Newton pianos made at Van Wert, O., are strong in their commendations of the
excellence of these instruments. They are made under the personal supervision of Mr.
Gust A. Anderson, who is master of his craft. We are enabled to present a reproduc-
tion of the Anderson & Newton, Style C.
The >Eolian in St. Louis.
Olaf Sundstrom, who for many years
has ranked as an ^Eolian specialist, will
leave in a short time for St. Louis, where
he will represent the complete vEolian line
as well as the vocalion church organs.
Mr. Sundstrom said recently:
"It is not my present intention to take
on any pianos although I have received
very flattering offers for agencies. I shall
pursue the same liberal business policy that
has made the New York headquarters
famous, and hope to find a lucrative field in
the South Western section of the country.
The ^Eolian products have not heretofore
been represented in St. Louis, the company
preferring to wait the proper opportunity
to have a representation on the same broad
scale as they have in New York, Boston,
Chicago, and Philadelphia.
"I have resigned my position in Boston
with the M. Steinert & Sons Co. in order to
make this move. My relations with the
M. Steinert & Sons Co. have been exceed-
ingly pleasant. They have undoubtedly the
finest piano and ^Eolian establishment in
the world, and their business is done in a
businesslike way and strictly up-to-date. I
feel that I have an excellent opportunity of
demonstrating in a new field the merits of
the ^Eolian and Pianola and expect a large
and growing business in St. Louis, though
I regret leaving Boston, where I have
lived nearly ten years and made so many
warm friends."

Great Tension of Piano Strings.
THE
IRON PLATE MUST RESIST THE STRAIN
OF MANY TONS.
The strings of the modern piano cause
a strain or pull on the iron plate averaging
from sixteen to twenty-two tons. , The
system of construction and bracing must
be such as to give absolute safety against
the pull of the strings and consequent
cracking of the iron plate.
Experts find the perfection of resistance
to this strain in the Kimball piano, in
which pre-eminent strength and endurance
is secured by the .scientific system of cross-
bar bracing used in its construction.—

The Henry F. Hiller Grand in
Concert.
The Henry F. Miller grand pianos are
closely identified with the musical life of
America, and the exalted position which
they have held in concerts in years gone
by is being further emphasized during '99.
Among recent musical occasions wherein
the famous Henry F. Miller grands came
in for a general share of admiration, we
