have been agents since he began business here,
than Harry Sanders.
The firm is doing a really enormous business
selling the Estey organs and the Decker Bros.,
Weber, Haines Bros., and J. & C. Fisher pianos.
The large warerooms, from the lower floor up to
the top of the building, are packed to an uncom-
fortable degree with instruments, and it looks
very much as if more room was necessary.
"The only trouble with us is in getting organs
from Estey," said Mr. Sanders. " I had to go
to Brattleboro, and see them, and insist upon
getting my supply. They are really doing a
tremendous business. Pianos are selling right
along, Weber selling better every day; the
only trouble is in getting the goods." Mr.
Sanders seems to be in better health than ever,
and says he does not care for big music festivals
any more, after having heard them all here. We
know a great many who agree with him.
WM. KNABE & CO.
Mr. Keidel repeats what all the prominent
manufacturers of the country have told us during
the past sixty days. He states that the house is
overwhelmed with orders which must await their
regular turn before they can be filled. They can-
not keep their stock in the warerooms up to the
necessary assortment. Business has never before
been in better shape, and it appears that this
steady condition of affairs will continue in-
definitely.

Mr. Freyman, piano manufacturer, is out West

Freyman, who formerly was foreman of the cele-
brated Gaehle factory, makes excellent pianos.
