THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Knabe's Mahogany Purchase.
Ernest J. Knabe, head of the great
Knabe house of Baltimore, was in town last
Tuesday. It is a well-known fact that he
is one of the most expert veneer buyers in

about this superb log, Mr. Geo. Cole
stated that it was one of the rarest quality

can-made strings with some of the leading
houses in England as well as on the con-

Business at the National Musical String
Co. 's establishment was never better. The
immense plant is flooded with orders not
only from the United States, but from all
parts of the world. The wide recognition
accorded the products of this house is cer-

The Canadian Association.
We have received from R. B. Andrew,
the secretary of the Canadian Piano &
Organ Manufacturers Association, a copy
of the constitution and by-laws of that or-
ganization. It is very cleverly compiled,
and is in a convenient, concise form. The
object of the association is for the mutual
protection and promotion of the manufac-
turing and trade interests of the Canadian
manufacturers. Thus far the members
seem well satisfied with what they have
accomplished.

ited the yards of Isaac I. Cole & Son, foot
of Eighth street, and was so pleased with
the mammoth log of mahogany which that
concern had recently landed in New York,
and which has been referred to in The
Review,that he purchased it. This is pro-
bably the largest mahogany log ever landed
in New York. Its dimension are 13 feet
long, 68 inches square and its weight ex-
ceeds 11 tons.
