VISITORS TO LAUTER FACTORY
Express Admiration for Its Extent and Com-
pleteness—President Cameron Reports Enor-
mous Demand for Lauter Pianos.
(Special to The Review.)
Newark, N. J., November 15, 1905.
During the past week quite a number of prom-
inent dealers have visited the new plant here
of the Lauter piano, and all have spoken in
the highest praise of the model plan upon which
every department has been arranged. Some of
these visiting dealers have expressed the great-
est enthusiasm over the beautiful Lauter prod-
uct, and have intimated that the Lauter pianos
they have already sold have given unprecedent-
ed satisfaction.
President Charles E. Cameron of the Lauter
company states that there is a wonderful de-
mand for Lauter pianos from all sections, and,
despite the fact that every department is work-
ing overtime, it is found impossible to keep
up with the great demand, and to ship pianos
as promptly as he could wish. Mr. Cameron
said: "Wherever we send one piano to a dealer
we are sure to have almost immediately an or-
der for several that are wanted at once. As
we have filled a great number of sample orders
during the past few weeks, you can understand
the situation."
Charles A. Borst, the traveling man of the
house, is this week in Pennsylvania. He is
sending in a large number of orders for all
styles, especially for the Lauter Player Piano,
which has met with the warmest praise every-
where.
A. W. MEYER HAD AMPLE INSURANCE.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 7, 1905.
Music Trade Review, New York.
Gentlemen:—A serious fire occurred in Port-
land, Monday morning, Oct. 30, in the Oxford
Hotel, on the ground floor of which A. W. Meyer,
of 74 Sixth street, has a piano store. In the ac-
count of the fire it was stated that Mr. Meyer's
loss was several thousand dollars, not covered
by insurance. Mr. Meyer called upon me yes-
terday stating that this was incorrect; that his
loss was less than $2,000, and that he carried
insurance of $2,000, so that his loss is fully cov-
ered by insurance. The Oregonian made this
statement the following day, and at the same
time Mr. Meyer requested me to write to you,
conveying you this information, so that if any
mention of his loss is made in your columns
that it may be correctly stated. I do this very
cheerfully as Mr. Meyer feels our original state-
ment might injure his credit among the Eastern
piano manufacturers. I am,
Yours truly,
O. C. Leiter, City Editor.

last week E. S. Conway, of the Kimball Co., was
in attendance.
