Seaholm is an old resident of Denver, and won a host
of friends during his connection with the late music
house of W. W. Montelius & Co. Mr. Browning hails
from New York, and carries into the new enterprise a
splendid reputation for commercial ability, and for
adaptability to his present calling.
In their most attractive emporium Messrs. Weridelf,
Seaholm & Browning display the Marshall & Wendell,
the " Opera " and the McPhail piano, and the Loring &
Blake Palace Organs. Although the young firm com-
menced operations but a few weeks ago, their energy,
vim, intelligence, and straightforward business methods
have already marked them out as being on the high
road to fame and fortune.

factory night and day in order to keep abreast of the
deluge of orders for their most artistic productions by
which they are constantly inundated. Their success in
this line of business was apparent from the moment of
their starting in it. Some idea of their advance in
this special field may be gathered from the fact that,
though the Company have within the past two years
doubled their former facilities of production, they are
now contemplating further additions to this extensive
branch of their business.
Up to the time of the initiation of the Homer D.
Bronson Co.'s Electro Bronze department, nearly all of
the art work in this line was imported from Paris, and
at so great an expense that comparatively few could
afford the luxury of having a bronze art-piece in draw-
ing-room or parlor. Improved facilities for producing
this species of work, and the proverbial ingenuity and
perseverance of a Connecticut manufacturer, have now
brought the cost within reach of the general public, and
there appears to be no risk in predicting that this beau-
tiful and durable bronze art-work will in the immediate
future be greatly in demand, not only for purposes of
piano and organ embellishment, but also for furniture,
palace cars, steamboat saloons, and private residences.
Because the F. &. V. Organ Co. are the
most progressive In the business, and as
they lead, their competitors have nothing;
to do but to follow.
