MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
years ago, and notwithstanding the great age, the
tone is remarkably powerful; in fact, the whole in-
strument is nearly as perfect as when made.
HENRY EBEBBACH, Washington, D. C, was in town
a few days ago. He is a live dealer and selling lots
of Baus pianos.
J. H. STAHL, Altoona, Pa., is doing an excellent
business, and reports excellent prospects for the fall
trade.
G. C. WILSON, Reading, Pa., does not now handle
the Knabe & Co. piano.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y., supports two small piano man-
ufactories.
THE B. SHONrNOER ORGAN CO., New Haven, Conn.,
are rushed with orders. Their agents are among the
best in the country, which shows that there must be
merits in the Shoninger organ.
MR. RAYMOND, of Hazzard, Raymond & Co., Aus-
tin, Texas., has disposed of his interest in the bus-
iness and has gone to Dallas, Texas, to practice law.
The firm name has been changed to H. H. Hazzard
&Co.
PARSONS & Co. succeed J. R. Parsons in La Porte,
Ind.
E. DuiiiTz, Galveston, Texas, has opened music
rooms.
BEHR BROS & Co., New York, have secured Estey
& Camp, Chicago, as their agents. This is a good
move, as there is no more enterprising house in the
West than that of Estey & Camp. They will run the
Behr piano as their leading instrument.
THE Chickering piano and the Wilcox & White
organ took the gold medals at the Connecticut State
Fair held at Meriden a short time ago. This is the
second time these instruments have been awarded
the gold medal at this fair.
THE DAVENPORT & TREACY CO., Jersey City, N. J.,
manufacturers of piano plates, are very busy. They
are now getting out some bronzed plates which they
expect will have a large run, when the manufacturers
see the advantage in them.
FRASIER & SMITH, pianoforte hammer coverers,
Cambridgeport, Mass., are running their factory to its
fullest capacity to meet the demand for their goods.
Mr. Frasier, who was in the city a few days ago, took
orders from some of our largest houses. The piano

fault with the Frasier & Smith hammers.
