THE ANGELUS PIANO PLAYER.
A visit to the great plant of the Wilcox &
White Co., at Meriden, Conn., affords a
pretty convincing 1 idea of the tremendous
growth in popularity of the piano players,
and more especially the Angelus player made
by this institution. Through its employment
of reeds, the Angelus orchestral is appeal-
ing to a large clientele who desire diversity
in effects in the playing of the piano.

THE COLBY PIANO.
George Herbert has received several of the
Colby pianos, and they have received most
satisfactory and flattering comment from
many who understand pianos and piano
values. They are well made and the tone is
mellow and beautiful. Judging from those
to be found on Herbert's floor they are
pianos which are bound to sell in large
numbers, for the value is in them beyond
a doubt.

SCHAEFFER PUBLICITY.
The Schaeffer I'iano Mfg. Co., of Chicago,
are sending out some of these advertising
illusion devices above which appear the
words: "Our proposition on the other side is
not an illusion." On the back of the card
appears the following: ''The Schaeffer piano
will increase your profits. Why? Up-to-date
style and workmanship—down to date in
price. No expense after selling. Fully guar-
anteed."
BOOMING THE STECK.
The Wiley P>. Allen Co., of San Francisco,

intelligently.

unless well deserving, you ought to consider
this a great compliment for the Mathushek &
