BUKDHTTE says that, the Lord wasted mud when he
made the man who will take his paper live or six
years and never pay a cent, and then order the post-
master to send it back "refused."
We agree with Burdette, for we have been there
ourselves. How many men are there in this trade
who when they read this paragraph will remember
that they ordered the Music TRADE REVIEW, read
every number for two or three years, and then, when
urged to pay their subscription bills, ordered their
postmaster to return the pnprr marked "refused."

buying done, too.
WE wish that all manufacturers having handsome
signs or hangers would send them to us, so that they
can be conspicuously displayed upon the walls of the
offices of the Music TRADE REVIEW.
We have now
those of the Mason & Haralin Organ and Piano Co.,
Ernest Gabler & Bro., Sohmer&Co., Schomacker
Piano Co., Sturtevant & Co., Augustus Baus & Co.,
Alfred Dolge, Sylvester Tower, Henry T. Miller's
Sons' Piano Co., Estey Organ Co., and the Wilcox &
White Organ Co. Send them along, and prepay the

Wessell, Nickel birthday on the 10th instant. Wo shall not make pub-
ic Mr. WessoH's age, as ho is much younger than ho
looks and much older than he feels. Mr. Wessell had
the best of good wishes for long life and continued
prosperity from his friends, whom he numbers by
hundreds, and—well, we ought to ring in something
about his actions, showing him to be—etc.; but it
occurred to us that that joke, like the one about the
products of Dolge's factories filling a long felt want,
must have originated somewhere about the time of
the building of the pyramids, so that now it has
something of an antique flavor about it. Wessell,
here is your good health, and we wish it none the

ASK FOX, of the Chicago Indicator, how he liked
the 1885 Federweissen which he got in New York.
Like Josh Billings' pill, it is as gentle as a lamb, but
as searching as a fine-tooth comb.
MR.
GEORGE
BOTHNER, the well-known
action-
maker of New York City, says that business of late
has been coming up splendidly. The only trouble is
that prices are not as high as they should be. This
does not prevent Mr. Bothner looking hale, hearty
and happy, as though he thoroughly enjoyed life.
There is no kinder or truer heart in the music trade
to-day than that of George Bothner.

THE offices of the Mustr: TRADE REVIEW are now
the headquarters for the music trade of the country.
We have taken additional office room, so that, as the
manufacturers say, we have doubled our former
capacity. The members of the music trade are cor-
dially invited to make themselves at home at the
offices of tho Music TRADE REVIEW, at No. 22 East
Seventeenth street—the most central location for
their purposes in New York City. Here they will find
messenger and telegraph calls, telephone, and other
conveniences. They can do their correspondence,
their talking, their dining, their smoking and, if they
choose, their loafing, without in the least interferring
with our business or work. By the middle or last of
next month we shall have these offices fitted up—if
not gorgeously, at least tastefully and comfortably,
so that the eye may be pleased while the body rests.
Gentlemen, one and all, you are welcome; come and
see us, and be thankful if you ever get out alive.

nership between C. A. W. and J. D. B., and our friends
are all coming to the front for the occasion in fine
style. We propose to show the trade next year more
than ever what a music trade paper should bo.

THE Messrs. Chickering <& Sons, of Boston and
New York, have won an enviable distinction in that
one of their handsome upright pianos has been se-
lected by Madame Emma Nevada, the celebrated
concert singer, the newly-made bride and the inti-
mate friend of Mrs. Mackey, wife of the bonanza
king, for use in her private drawing-room car, in
which she will make a concert tour of the United
States. So beauty and merit go doubly hand in
hand, for both the piano and the lady are noted for
these qualities.
WE hear of a new felt concern soon to be started
by a Mr. Louis Gehlert in New York city.
THE business started by Messrs. Christie & Bren-
nan, in New Haven, has been given up. The reason
was, these gentlemen could not at present see suffi-
cient profit ahead in the business to repay them for
the necessary expenditure of time and hard labor to
built it up. Mr. J. H. Christie informs us that they
did not lose any money, but they did not make any.
Mr. Brennan will sell pianos from his house in New
Haven, where his duties as organist and teacher de-
mand his presence. Mr. Christie will proceed to de-
velop his Stamford business by taking a store in a
more central location than the one formerly occupied
—directly opposite the post-offlee, in fact. He will
put in a stock of sheet music and small goods in ad-
dition to pianos. He says he has secured one of the
nicest stores in the State.
