THE FAME OF THE BEHNING PIANO.
ESTABLISHMENT OF SEVERAL NEW AND IMPORTANT
AGENCIES.
T
HE firm of Behning & Son, N. Y., have recently
made some very important moves in regard to
their agencies. They have placed an agency in
Kansas City, Mo., with the Bollman Brothers; another,
with Chris. Schmidt & Co., of Evansville, Indiana, and
yet another with Mitchell, Young & Co., of Williams-
port, Pa.
These locations of agencies evidence the great wis-
dom and discretion of the Behning firm, whose quiet
and undemonstrative enterprise is one of the most re-
markable features of the piano trade of this country.
The Behning pianos are constantly gaining in popu-
lar favor, and in the esteem of renowned artists.
Hardly a week passes that does not bring to us the
highest commendations of these carefully constructed,
handsome, and in every way acceptable instruments.

BEHR BROTHERS & Co., N. Y., inform us that they
are experiencing an unusually fine fall trade, and that
one of their very largest monthly outputs of pianos will
undoubtedly be that of the present month. The Behr
piano has recently been exhibited with great honor at
several musical entertainments, notably in the Histori-
cal Hall, Brooklyn, N. Y., where it was played by the
well-known Edmund Ludwig, and at St. George's Hall,
Philadelphia, Pa., where Miss Bjurstedt was the pianiste.
Both of these excellent artists and critics pronounced
the Behr piano a marvelously superior instrument.
