Strauch's New Department.
CHARGED WITH AIDING CASHIER MUSSEY OF
RUTLAND IN ALLEGED BANK EM-
BEZZLEMENT.
That eminent firm of action, key and
hammer manufacturers, Strauch Bros., have
added the cutting of ivory for piano and
organ keys to their plant, and are now
in a position to supply the trade orders
for same. This is the result of the grad-
ual evolution of the Strauch business, and
knowing the care which is exercised in
every department of that institution, we
are justified in saying that ivory cutting
with them will be a success from the start,
for they have given the matter an exhaus-
tive study, and have the latest machines in
operation under experts in the department
of ivory cutting. They have, too, excel-
lent facilities for purchasing of a continu-
ous supply of ivory as all their tusks are
sent direct to them from Africa.

Industrial Exposition
TO
BE HELD IN NEWARK, N. J. IN 1 9 0 2 —
MANUFACTURERS GIVING THE MATTER
HEARTY SUPPORT.
A movement is well under way toward
holding an industrial exposition at New-
ark, N. J., in 1902. The preliminary de-
tails are now being carried out by the New-
ark Board of Trade, and the large New
Jersey manufacturers are giving the pro-
ject their most hearty support. R. C. Jen-
kinson, of the Newark firm of R. C. Jen-
kinson & Co., who is president of the Board
of Trade, is the prime mover in the
scheme. The Essex County Park Commis-
sioners have granted the use of the new
Waverly Park as a site for the erection of
the exposition buildings. This site is com-
posed of 355 acres, of which 88 acres are
submerged in water, making a huge lake.
A meeting of the mayors and delegates of
the cities in New Jersey was held on April
19 to further perfect the plans.
The Paillard Music Co.
The Paillard Music Co. with Alfred E.
Paillard, president, has established local

to meet the visiting members of the trade.
Another European Tourist.
M. Steinert, of the M. Steinert & Sons
Co., Boston, will sail for Europe by the

A Distinguished Vermonter.-"-
Vermont has contributed a great many
men who have figured largely in the de-
velopment of the country. Many of her
sons have won prominent positions in the
industry of which The Review is an ex-
ponent. One of her most distinguished
sons, Gen. Julius J. Estey passed a while
in New York this week.
Gen. Estey is head of the great Estey
institution of Brattleboro as well as half
a dozen other prominent industrial enter-
prises. While chatting with The Review
he said: "General business with the coun-
try is in a magnificent condition, and I
think most of the manufacturers in our
line are particularly busy. Our organ fac-
tories at Brattleboro are active, and the
demand for high grade organs is becoming
more and more emphasized. The later
Estey styles have been much appreciated.
My son, Major Harry Estey is now in the
West and is probably to-day in St. Louis,
He reports excellent business throughout
the section where he has traveled. My
other son, Col. Gray Estey, will leave for
Europe probably some time next month.
It is our custom annually to meet our
European representatives. He will prob-
ably remain awhile in London, run over
to Hamburg to meet Louis Ritz, our re-
presentative there and will of course pass,
a while in Paris."
