THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Fred J. Mabon, formerly representing
several prominent New York piano manu-
facturers at Springfield, Mass., has associ-
ated himself with Taylor's Music House in
that city.
The twenty-sixth annual picnic of the
employees of Chas. M. Stieff & Co. will
occur in Darley Park, Baltimore, July 24th.
Judging from the preliminary prepara-
tions the re-union will be a most success-
ful one.
An additional story is being erected on
the warehouse 7 North Charles street, oc-
ciipied by R. Lertz & Sons, dealers in
musical instruments, says the Baltimore,
Md., Herald. The addition will cover the
entire lot dimensions of the warehouse
and will be 23 by 85 feet in size.

A BIG THING FOR THE TRADE
The Wonder Self-Composer
(PATENT APPLIED FOR)
Not a toy, but a remarkable invention by which any
person can write hundreds of different marches (two-
step) for piano or organ without previous knowledge
of musical composition. Read what great composers
sav about it:
JOHN PHILIP SOUSA:
" I t is an unique and marvelous in-
vention."
FRED N. INNES:
" The most clever musical device I
have ever seen."
ALESSANDRO LIBERATI:
" I congratulate the inventor. The
SELF-COMPOSER is all that is claimed
D. W. REEVES:
"An instructive and meritorious in-
vention that should create a large
demand."

In the Chestnut street store of C. J.
Heppe & Son, Philadelphia, carpenters are
now at work tearing out partitions and en-
larging their floor space by adding a num-
ber of warerooms next door to accommo-
date their constantly increasing piano
trade.
Staples, Smith & Mooney, the enterpris-
ing dealers of Augusta, Me., are making
steady headway these days. They have
opened branch stores in Farmington, Wa-
terville and Rockland, where numerous
sales of a satisfactory nature are taking
place. With this concern, as with numer-
ous others, the McPhail piano seems to be
a tremendous favorite with purchasers.
Several new Shoninger styles in uprights
are now in preparation.
This fall will
find the Shoninger warerooms replete,
more than ever, with novelties in new
styles, each so tasteful and attractive, that
a decision by retail customers as to the
"nicest" will be almost too difficult to ar-
rive at.
E. N. Jenkins, the music dealer of Salt
Lake City, has brought suit against W. E.
Travis for $3,000 damages for unlawful
ejectment from the storeroom, 206 South
Main street, which Mr. Jenkins, main-
tains he had rented.
The C. E. Byrne Co., recently removed
from Harlem to 525 West Twenty-third
street, have got their new factory into good
running order and are now able to fill all
contracts with promptitude and despatch.
The Byrne business continues to prosper.
The work done evidently satisfies custom-
ers, who sell the Byrne product readily and
call for more.
Henry Spies and his colleagues report
the outlook for the "Majestic" to be first-
rate. It sells readily "on merit," and al-
ways gives satisfaction to the retail cus-
tomer.
Seventeen organs were last week shipped
to Germany by the Weaver Piano and
Organ Co., York, Pa.
Work on the enlargement of the Brock-
port Piano Co. 's factory to double its size
is now under way.
A recent incorporation in Montreal, Can.,
is the Hayden Piano Mfg. Co.
