of interest to the manufacturers to look into the
merits of Mr. Letton's invention. •*
JACK HAYNES has just returned from a short
Western trip and reports trade very fair in the towns
he visited.
PAUL W. FRIEDRICH, Grand Rapids, Mich., states
that his business has almost doubled during the past
six months. For years there has been certain ob-
structions to the north of his warerooms which al-
most compelled pedestrians to take the other side of
ihe street. These obstructions have been removed
recently, and handsome business buildings erected,
making his location one of the most desirable in
the town. Mr. Friedrich sells a large number of
Kranich & Bach pianos, and he speaks in the highest
praise of the treatment received at the hands of this
house. We echo the expressions used by Mr. Fried-
rich, and will further say that Messrs. Kranich &
Bach are one of the most honorable houses in the
piano trade and that nothing can bo said too good
about them.
THE latest styles of Story & Clark organs contain
an improvement of great importance which will not
be found in any other make of organs.
FRIEDRTOH BROTHERS, Grand Rapids, Mich., are
having a remarkably good trade. They have sold

S. BRAINARD'S SONS, Chicago, 111., are pushing the
Schomacker and Behning pianos. Through the ef-
forts of Mr. Schleiffarth, who has charge of the piano
department of this concern, the Schomacker has be-
come a popular instrument in Chicago. Mr. Schlief-
farth is not, however, unmindful of the Behning
piano, and has recently made several sales of these
pianos. He has lately sold a Behning grand to the
Englewood High School, where it is giving great
satisfaction. The Behning piano will also be used
at the coming concert of the Second Baptist Church
Choir in Chicago.
JULIUS BAUER & Co., Chicago, report a very large
trade. Their retail trade is so large that they are
troubled to Mil their country orders.
R. E. LETTON, Quincy, III., has invented a new
method for stringing pianos, which seems to be a
very practicable arrangement. We think it will be

the Weber piano as their leading instrument for the
past ton years, and many are the purchasers who
will testify to its merits. As a medium priced piano
the firm have the J. & C. Fischer, which is acknow-
ledged everywhere to be well worth the price asked
for it. Messrs. Friedrich Bros, handle in organs the
Smith American and the A. B. Chase, which are
nothing but first-class.
LEOPOLD LOEB, who was formerly with Whitney
& Currier, has started in the music business in Los
Angeles, Cal., and is having a remarkably good
trade.
CHARLES SCHMIDT, Evansville, Ind., is dead. The
business will be continued under the firm name.
THECHASE BROS. PIANO CO., Grand Rapids, Mich.,
will, in a few days, open warerooms in the heart of
tlie city for tho convenience of their customers.
CRANDALL RECKER, of Pen City, Pa., are very en-
thusiastic over the Wegman & Henning piano.
WE HAD the pleasure of a call from Messrs. Weg-
man & Henning, Ithaca, N. Y. They are in the city
to obtain workmen, as their orders are ahead of their
capacity. Their new patent tuning pin, a full descrip-
tion of which was given in a recent issue of this
paper, is meeting with splendid success. One great
advantage in this new device is that heat or damp-
ness or radical climatic changes has but little effect
on the strings, as tho pin, when once adjusted, can-
not give.
