THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
THE firm of Messrs. Jacobs Bros, have just leased
a large and commodious office and wareroom at
No. 819 Broadway. Mr. George C. Adams has taken
the general agency of the piano, and will push it
upon the market with the success which the instru-
ments deserve. Mr. Adams is an old piano man,
well known to the trade in northern New York, and
dealers will do well to give him a call.
MB. C. E. HEATH has been engaged as city sales-
man for Aug. Baus & Co.
E. DE ANGUERA is traveling through the New
England States in the interest of the Chickering
piano, and from all accounts is meeting with excel-
lent success.
BROTHEK FOX has once more reduced the size of
his Indicator, until it is now only about as large as
an ordinary piano or organ catalogue. Paper and
printing must be advancing in price in Chicago. It
must be gratifying to those who are unfortunate
enough to advertise in the Indicator to have their
advertisements reduced in size every week or two,
and still pay the same price as they did when they
occupied a much larger space. We would advise
Brother Fox not to make another cut in size, for, if
he does, the mail-carrier will be unable to find the
paper in his bag, to say nothing about it " falling
through the keyhole in the letter-box."

winter, the company's business is now the best and
most promising it has ever been. The factory is
being driven to its full capacity, a portion of its
force working nights. An indication of the reviving
hopefulness of business is the fact that the company
shipped more organs last month than it did in the
whole of January.

MACKINAC
that their trade thus far this year has shown a de-
cided increase over 1885, and that they have now
fully recovered from the dullness occasioned by the
labor strikes. This firm have always treated their
workmen so kindly that they heard not one word of
complaint during all the excitement. Carl Hoffman,
Leaven worth, Kan., has taken the agency of the
Starr piano for Kansas, and judging from his de-
mands for them, they must surely give him and his
customers excellent satisfaction.

FROM MESSRS. HUYETT BROS., ST. JOSEPH, MO.,
FEBRUARY 23, 1886.
Having sold a large number of your pianos during
the past four years, we are pleased to state that they
have invariably given good satisfaction ; and, while
we have always been well pleased with them, we
must congratulate you on quite a number of valuable
improvements you have made within the past few
months. We consider the "Opera" one of the most
reliable pianos in the market, and have no hesitancy
in warranting it fully, as we consider it no risk to
do so.
FROM H. A. BODMAN & SON, ATTLEBORO, MASS.
We are delighted with your pianos. We have sold
a largo number of them during the past five years,
and have never had one that did not give perfect
satisfaction. The tone is rich, and satisfying. They
are durable, and stand extremely well in tune, and
are of elegant design. We think the public are to be
congratulated upon being able to purchase so desir-
able an instrument at such reasonable prices.
FROM MESSRS. « . & R. K.USTEKMANN, GREEN BAY, WIS.
Allow us to congratulate you on the success you
have achieved with your pianos. Since introducing
the " P e e k " pianos in our section of the country
(some five years ago) we have disposed of a large
number of them, and not a single complaint regard-
ing them has ever reached us. Those who have pur-
chased any of them invariably recommend them to
their friends. The late improvements you have in-
troduced in the action and cases of your instruments*
make them equal to the best in the country.

We would not exchange the agency of the " Opera"
for that of any other piano in existence. The beau-

quality of tone, at once win the favor of the " in-
tended " buyer, and as a result an "easy sale."
Many of the best musicians in our city have pur-
chased an " Opera," and every one bespeaks for us a
