EXTRACT FROM A LETTER RECEIVED FROM MR. W. P. HANNA O F MELBOURNE,
W H O REPRESENTED T H E BEHR PIANO AT T H E EXPOSITION:
MELBOURNE, February, 19, 1889.
I must compliment you on the way these two pianos have stood this climate ; they are in as perfect condition as
when they left the factory, and they have been more exposed than any other pianos in the Exhibition, and a good many
of the other pianos and organs are much the worse for being in the building, or I may say for being in Australia. My
place in the Exhibition was right against the side of the building, and the side and roof are of corrugated iron, and the
sun had full sweep on the side and roof of the building all the afternoon, and it was very like an oven a good part of the
time, but it had not the least effect on the pianos.
FACTORY AND OFFICE, 292-298 Illk Avenue, New York.
