THE
TRKDE
PROF. MAGUIRE TO STARR CO.
J. Frank Maguire, the well-known pianist
and director of Wittenberg Conservatory of
Music, has sent the following communica-
tion to the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, lnd.:
Springfield, O., Oct.. 10, 1902.
Gentlemen:—-! desire to inform you that
after having used your pianos in concerts,
and for teaching purposes in the Wittenberg
Conservatory of Music, I would say that I
consider them unsurpassed for their exqui-
site tonal qualities, elasticity of action and
remarkable durability.
I shall take great pleasure in recommend-
ing the Starr piano at all times. Wishing
for their continued success, I remain,
Yours respectfully,
J. Frank Maguire.

Julius Breckwoldt, the sounding board
manufacturer of Dolgeville, X. Y., was in
town the early days of the week and in the
course of a chat with The Review expressed
himself in enthusiastic terms regarding busi-
ness, past, present and prospective. He is
closing some big contracts with the New
York manufacturers for his specialties for
the present year, which he considers will wit-
ness a larger output of pianos than even

WELCOME FOR J. B. MURRAY.
J. B. Murray, one of the old attaches of
the John Church Co., who has been ill for
over a year, resumed his place last week :.s
salesman on the floor of the John Church
warerooms in Cincinnati. On his appearance
he received a regular ovation which was par-
ticipated in by every member of the house
from the head to the office boy, who con-
gratulated Mr. Murray on his successful
wooing of good health.

PROSPERITY WITH J. BKcXKWOLDT.
Frank A. McLauthlin, maker of the Spiel-
man 11 piano,546-548 Southern Boulevard, has
since he started as a piai^o manufacturer,
won many high opinions in the trade for
careful work and reasonable prices,. "It is
my earnest endeavor," said Mr.. McLauthlin
recently to The Review, "to make the very
best piano in the market at the price I ask.
At the same time, I challenge comparisons.
The Spielmann piano, under existing con-
ditions, is one that any live dealer can han-
dle advantageously."

A MEHLIN ADMIRER.
S. B. Hart, the well-known Cleveland deal-
er, who was in town last week, placed some
big orders for Mehlin pianos for early de-
livery. Mr. Hart is an enthusiastic admirer
of the Mehlin, which, through the merits
of the piano and Mr. Hart's excellent work,
has won a leading position in the musical
field in Cleveland. Mr. Hart considers Paul
G. Mehlin one of the finest piano makers
not only in America, but to be found in the
world, and he has been forced to this con-
clusion by the magnificent pianos which he
turns out. In tone, in architecture, in every
essential that goes to make an artistic product
the Mehlin takes the lead.

PLATE POINTS.
An industry succeeds by identifying itself
with the needs and best interests of its con-
stituency. One of th« strongest points in the
success of the
business lies in the

fact that in the
casting of piano
plates and other

all the demands made upon the pianoforte
have been carefully considered and the " D.

Manship; treasurer, R. J. Cavett; superin-
tendent and general manager, Gust. Ad. An-
derson, and assistant superintendent O. C.
Nelson.
It is the intention of this company to
branch out on a much larger scale than here-
tofore. The pianos made under the superin-
tendency of Mr. Anderson are first-class in
every respect and are highly spoken of by
dealers and musicians who have tested them.
Chas. E. Rogers, said to have been at one
time engaged in the manufacture of pianos
at 20 Elliott avenue, Boston, under the name
of C. E. Rogers & Co., committed suicide on
Friday afternoon in the factory of the Estey
Piano Co.., where he was employed as an ex-
pert tuner. Despondency because wealthy
men had refused to interest themselves in
the piano invention by which he had hoped
to regain a lost fortune is believed to have
been the cause of this act. Unfortunate
speculation is said to have been the cause of
the failure of the Rogers firm some five years
ago, after which Mr. Rogers came to this
city, and has since been working at tuning
and in his spare time developing an improve-
ment in upright pianos.

The Salesmen's Association of Philadel-
phia contemplate giving their employees a
"blow out" at the Lafayette in Philadelphia
on Feb. 4. This is something unique in the
trade world. It will demonstrate the close
and friendly relations which exist between
the piano dealers of the City of Brotherly
Love and their employees.
