large business in this city. In extending their field of
operations our sister city of Muskegon cannot fail to be
greatly benefited. Messrs. Crozier & Cutler, the attor-
neys of the company, who are also stockholders, say
that the new factory will be a source of great revenue
to the company, as the manufacturers will have the ad-
vantages of water as well as low railroad rates in the
shipment of instruments.
The officers of the new company are M. J. Chase, presi-
dent ; Charles T. Hills, vice-president ; Leon E. Chase,
secretary; and Thomas Hume, treasurer.—Grand Rapids
Democrat.
PROFESSOR GEORGE W. PARKER, of the Syracuse
University, Syracuse, N, Y., who has been travelling in
Europe, called on the 12th inst. at the factory of Con-
over Brothers, where he purchased a fine Conover up-
right piano for his own personal use. The growing
popularity of the pianos constructed by this firm is thus
further evidenced. Prof. Parker is not only a musician
of the highest attainments, but a thorough judge of the
qualities of a piano. He has a very wide reputation,
and is greatly advancing the cause of music at the Uni-
versity of Syracuse.
