This placing of the Weber piano with Smith
& Nixon, is a master-stroke of business enter-
prise, that will mark the beginning of a series of
gigantic deals in the affairs of the Weber com-
pany. Albert Weber is fully alive to the fact
that Cincinnati is a most important distributing
point of the piano trade. The Smith & Nixon
firm, through their many branches, control a
vast Southern trade, and also the trade of sev-
eral Northern States. Cincinnati is the key to
an important commercial position, and the
present move cannot fail to materially advance
the interests of the Weber Piano Co.

the window of the Estey Organ Co.'s
establishment, Boston, Mass., is an object
which attracts the attention of the public. It
is a chair made by one Samuel Hayward for
Col. Levi K. Fuller, Governor of Vermont. It
is made from rails taken from the fence at
Gettysburg, behind which lay the old Vermont
Brigade on the left of the Union line below
Round Top. This remarkable chair is present-
ed to Governor Fuller by Sedgwick Post, G. A.
R., Department of Vermont. To receive such a
chair, invested as it is with historic glory, will,
no doubt, be a source of much gratification to
the Governor. As he will occupy it many
times during his gubernatorial career, it
might also be the means of exciting him to
enthusiastic patriotism were he not too loyal a
man to need any adventitious aid for that pur-
pose. This gift from the Grand Army veterans
to their distinguished comrade, is a very appro-
priate one, and shows the high place which the
recipient occupies in the esteem of his old
companions in arms.
