NOTICE TO ORGAN-BUILDERS.
Builders of Pipe Organs will oblige us by getting together all possible ma-
terials concerning organ-building in general, and their oion methods of manufac-
ture in particular, so that we can do them full justice in our series of articles on
" Organ Builders and Organ-Building," a series which we expect will be the
most complete thing of the kind ever published.
NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
We sometimes receive complaints from subscribers that the MUSICAL CRITIC AND
TRADE EEVIEW does not come to them regularly.
With which is incorporated THE MUSIC TRADE JOURNAL.
TIEUE
To these we must reply that the fault can hardly lie at this end of the line, as our
wrapping and mailing departments are very carefully supervised.
In most cases we have found that papers have been removed from their wrappers
by parties to whom they were not addressed.
Whenever copies of the MUSICAL CRITIC AND TRADE REVIEW fail to reach sub-
scribers regularly, we trust they will promptly notify us.

THE MUSICAL CRITIC AND TRADE REVIEW.
This change of title is made, because, hereafter the paper
will devote as much attention to musical, as to trade matters.
Its rapidly growing circulation among the general public is
the inducement.
Our artist has been delayed in making his designs for the
title pages, but we hope to have them in time for the next
issue.
THE MUSICAL CRITIC AND TRADE REVIEW
