MR. DUSINBERRE' GRATIFIED.
Theodore L. Dusinberre, of Dusinberre
& Co., has done much traveling in the East
this season, and has made several valuable
new connections in Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and the New England States.
When talking on trade conditions with the
Review on Wednesday, Mr. Dusinberre said:
"I have been deeply gratified to find during
my several trips that our products are gain-
ing materially in actual prestige.
"One of the largest and most critical of
New England dealers on whom I called last
paid us a great compliment, but one which
I feel we justly deserve. This man, who
very rarely expresses a favorable opinion in
the presence of those principally interested,
said to me: 'Air. Dusinberre, I tell you
frankly my honest opinion, that your pianos
are as good as any made in this country.'
"I have been the recipient of many com-
pliments this year. It is encouraging. It
has been the constant endeavor of Mr. Small
and myself to 'individualize' every Dusin-
berre piano. Steadily we have worked to-
gether to this end. Now the reward is com-
ing in the shape of increasing business and
greater practical appreciation in other ways."
Dealers not acquainted with Vose values
would do well to read, not only once but
several times, the advertisement on the cover
page of this issue. They will then, we ven-
ture to say, become sufficiently interested to
investigate the reasons why the Vose piano
has won such "an impregnable position in the
piano world."
This advertisement closes with the very
pertinent query: "Are you reaping any bene-
fit from its extensive distribution?" If not,
why not? Dealers who handle the pianos
made by the Vose Piano Co., Boston, have
found them not only tremendous values mu-
sically and architecturally, but trade stimula-
tors and satisfaction givers. Worth some
consideration, aren't they?

KIMBALL PIPE ORGAN FOR ELMIRA.

HOW THE BEHR STANDS.
Horace F. Brown, of Behr Bros., and
the three Behr travelers, are yet "on the road"
and doing well. They are cordially received
at all points and find the Behr products in
excellent repute. Dealers order freely and
say frankly that the Behr piano "sells read-
ily and gives no trouble."
Otto Braumuller, of the Braumuller Piano
Co., returned the early days of the week
from his successful road trip. The orders
received will compel him to work full time
at his factory all summer.

The greatest obstacle in eliciting anything
more than facts which might create suspi-
cion in the mind of the referee in court, but
ordinarily nothing more substantial, is large-
ly due to the difficulty of finding a start-
ing point from which to begin the exami-
nation. In other words, without books of
