numbers over 80,000 pieces of sheet music, and more
than 2,300 music-books. Of piano-forte methods they
have published the enormous number of i n , and of
books for the organ about 100. In 1887 the Boston
house employed about 100 clerks and book-keepers.
They have twenty printing pi esses constantly at work.
T H E Indicator should be called the Chameleon, for the

little a space it can get into.

T H E trade done during the year 1887 by Kranich &
Bach has been such as to fully satisfy that eminent firm
of piano manufacturers. The present year opens very
auspiciously for them. Their progress, though gradual,
is sure.
MR. J E. MITCHELL, of Buffalo, N. Y., was in town on
Thursday last. He has recently opened a store for pi-
anos, organs, sheet music, &c, at 39 Court street in that
city. Mr. Mitchell has a thoroughly practical knowledge
of piano construction, and as he is also a gentleman of
great business ability and amiable manners there is lit-
tle doubt that he will speedily assume a leading position
in the trade.
T H E music business of Geo. S. Whitbeck of North-
ampton, Mass., has been purchased by Mr. A. E. Olney,
of Boston.
T H E factory of James M. Starr & Co., at Richmond,
Ind., has been supplied with natural gas. A great sav-
ing will thus be effected in the cost of heating, lighting,
and running that establishment. The gas comes
through pipes forty-five miles in length, reaching the
regulator at the city limits with 160 pounds pressure.
Starr will now shine more brilliantly than ever.
T H E American Musician loftily rebukes the Indicator
for the latter's dishonesty in not crediting matter re-
printed from the former. This is very rash, Mr. Musi'
ciati. The glass tenement in which you reside is ex-
ceedingly brittle.
N E W and very handsome signs have been placed on
either side of the entrance to the warerooms of The
New England Piano Company, corner of Fifth avenue
and Fifteenth street. The lettering is exceedingly
elegant. The addition gives an air of completeness to
the exterior of the establishment that is very agreeable
