of Krakauer Bros., he reported that the Krakauer
agency has been secured by Messrs. Forbes &
Wallace, of this city. They have placed a big
initial order for uprights and players and will
thoroughly feature the line. Win. F. Larkin, the
aggressive manager of the piano department of
this firm, knows the Krakauer very well.
Mr. Snyder is leaving this week for an ex-
ended trip through the South.
The following short article which appeared in
the St. Catharines, Ont, "Weekly Journal," is a
tribute to the prestige of the Knabe piano in that
territory:

of the Mozart Club of this city over the recent
arrival of a magnificent Knabe baby grand, Mr.
Gordon Conn being the proud possessor. Too
much cannot be said regarding the importance of
this event as it is the first time that a piano of

though they closed arrangements to handle the
Knabe but a short while since, have sold quite a
number of these well-known instruments and have
been successful in securing an excellent list of
prospects. The Knabe piano is one of the most
popular pianos in Canada, and through the ag-
gressiveness of its agencies is the favorite instru-
ment of many of the Dominion's best known
musicians and music lovers.
