THE MUSIC TKRD6 RE1ZIEW
TRADE ITEMS OF INTEREST.
In connection with the appearance in San
Francisco last week of Kocian and Miss Julie
Geyer, Clark, Wise & Co., of that city, made
a splendid display of Weber pianos in their
handsome show windows. They are also
emphasizing that these noted artists are using
the Weber exclusively.
.
Denton, Cottier & Daniels, who recently
bought out the entire stock of Geo. F. Hedge
& Co., are now carrying on a big sale of
these goods in Buffalo, and in this connection
are advertising extensively in the local pa-
pers.
Smith, Heminway & Co., manufacturers
of the Acme ball-bearing castor and a stand-
ard piano wire cutter, are preparing their
spring catalogue for the trade. It will con-
tain much useful information to those con-
cerned, and will exceed in size any previous
effort in this line.
The Sohmer piano factory occupies eight
large lots, situated a short distance from the
92d Street ferry at Astoria, Long Island
City. In building the factory the firm spared
no expense, and can safely claim to possess
the most perfect piano plant in the United
States.
James Kitt, who was formerly in business
for himself as a manufacturer, and more re-
cently employed as superintendent of the H.
Kleber & Bro. Co. in this city, died at his
home, 55 East Eighty-eighth street, on Mon-
day of last week. The deceased was only
thirty-seven years old, and is survived by a
wife and daughter.
The Henry F. Miller & Sons Piano Co., of
Boston, intend to have recourse to legal ac-
tion to prevent the use of a name similar to
theirs being used on the fall board of pianos
by some manufacturer in Chicago or the Mid-
dle West.
H. C. Osterberg, previously superintendent
of the Wegman Piano Co., and the Pease
Piano Co., has been appointed mechanical
superintendent of the H. Kleber & Bro. Co.'s
factory in this city succeeding James Ritt,
who died recently.
Osman Robinson, of Newark, N. Y., is
having an excellent trade these days, the de-
mand being active for the Gabler and Weg-
man pianos.
E. H. Sothern, the well-known actor, makes
his appearance as a poet in Scribner's for
April. The verses reveal the most serious
side of Mr. Sothern, and are poetic and phil-
osophic.
