corations used at the opening and through the week
are palms of various sorts, "Leaforth" and New
Zealand flax plants, all rare and costly plants and
well worth a visit. In fitting up his store, Mr.
McCammon has kept the wants of his lady patrons
in view by making and furnishing a cosy parlor
where they can try over the music without hindrance
or annoyance. This has taken wonderfully with the
ladies The stock is all new and well selected. The
pianos are the prime cause of all this display and
they will be kept at the head, as no expense of men,
material or machinery will be spared to preserve
their present high standing. The factory has been
so long established that it has become a "Land-
mark "in upper Broadway; and its reputation for
good work is second to none in the country, and we
hope soon to see a " McCammon " piano in every
house in Albany. The warerooms are in charge of
H. D. Hewitt, formerly of Baltimore, an excellent
and veteran salesman. He will be exceedingly popu-
lar with the customers as soon as they know him.
His quiet, genial manners and attention to business
commend him to all who have dealings with him.
Mr. Hopkins, already known to our best musicians
and many of our citizens, has charge of the tuning
and repair department, and we are certain these
will be well attended. He is also a practical man in
church organs, and our organists may rely on getting
any irregularities in their instruments corrected.
We hope our readers will go and see for themselves,
as it is impossible for us to speak of all the good
things we have seen.—Albany, N. Y., Telegram.

Mit. J E F F . DAVIS BILL :
DEAR SIR : We have nothing new to report In our
business, as you know that we are always busy, and
make and ship the same number of pianos each day
in the year. That is our policy and has been from
the start; and, as a consequence, we are never dull
and do not mean to be rushed. Shall always be glad
to see you when in town.
Yours truly,

MR. J E F F . DAVIS BILL :
DEAR SIR : I have closed out most of my music
stock and embarked in the real estate business. My
stand would be a first-class opening for some music
dealer who wants to get rich in a few years In one
always successive field of operation.

MR. J E F F . DAVIS BILL :
DEAR SIR : We are doing a very fair trade in both
organs and pianos. Our new designs In organs are
taking well, and we are considerably behind our
orders on them.
Our piano department has been enlarged and some
changes made in our force, and we are producing a
piano worthy the attention of those who really want
a good instrument and are willing to consider qual-
ity as well as price.
Yours respectfully,

DEAR SIR : In reply to your inquiry, would say
our business is good. We are working up to our

us all the time from thirty to sixty. We have every
reason to believe that there will be no dull times
with us this summer.
