THE KOEHLER PIANO CO.
THEIR NEW PIANO EXCITES GREAT INTEREST AMONG
THE TRADE.
S we intimated in our last issue would be the case,
the new piano introduced by the Koehler Piano
Co., New York, and which is on exhibition in
room No. 20 of the Broadway Theatre Building, near
Forty-eighth street, New York city, has arrested the
attention of the trade to a remarkable extent. The
innovations introduced into piano manufacture by the
Koehler Company, and which are fully observable in
the instrument on exhibition, have within the past two
weeks been thoroughly examined by a large number of
experts, all of whom have pronotinced the new piano
superb in tone and finish, and startling in simplicity
and originalty of construction.
The company are in constant receipt of large mails
containing inquiries as to this extraordinary piano, and
many orders have already been booked. In a very few
weeks the firm will be in a position to make shipments
right along.
No long time, it would appear, is likely to elapse ere
the fame of the new Koehler piano will be spread
abroad throughout this and other lands.

it wants is brains and well directed efforts, with an
abundant amount of push, and hard push, to keep a first

any trade paper, in order to run it, to abuse anyone.
I think you have always pursued the right course,

pleasant way by dealers all over the country, when the
matter of others have been alluded to, as being away

THE PLEASURES OF EDITING.
DITING a paper, says a provincial editor, is a
pleasant thing. If it contain too much political
matter, people won't have it; if it contain too
little, they won't have it, If the type, is too large.it
doesn't contain enough reading matter; if the type is
too small, they can't read it. If telegraphic reports are
published, some folks say they are nothing but hashes
up; if they are omitted, they say there is a want of en-
terprise. If we put in a few jokes, folks say we are
nothing but a rattle-head; if we omit jokes, they say
we are an old fossil. If we publish original matter, they
condemn us for not giving them selections; if we pub-
lish selections, folks say we are lazy for not giving them
what they have not read in some other paper. If we
give a man complimentary notices we are censured for
being partial; if we do not, all hands say we are a great
boor. If we insert an article which pleases the ladies,
men become"jealous; if we do not cater to their wishes,
the paper is not fit to be in their houses. If we attend
church, they say it is only for effect; if we do not they
denounce us as deceitful and desperately wicked. If we
speak well of any act, folks say we dare not do other-
wise; if we censure, they call us a traitor. If we remain
in our office and attend to business, folks say we are
too proud to mingle with our fellows; if we go about a
bit, they say we had better stay at home and get on
with our work. If we do not pay all bills promptly,
folks say we are not to be trusted; if we do pay prompt-
ly, they say we stole the money.—Exchange.
