THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
270
present line of artistic advertising
which we have inaugurated with THE
MUSIC TRADE REVIEW is attracting wide-spread
attention. The fact that the oldest and best-
known firms in America have already availed
themselves of its benefits is convincing evidence
to others that it contains great merit. If there
are firms who have not yet placed an order with
us for this class of work, and are desirous of
doing so, they should write us at once, as it
takes time to prepare this special line of adver-
tising.

STEINWAY has, with charac-
teristic generosity, subscribed $1,000 to
the New York Press Club building fund. Mr.
Steinway has not only always been a strong
supporter of the legitimate press, but in all
worthy public movements his name may be seen
followed by a munificent subscription.
SPIRIT of old-time business dignity al-
ways pervades the warerooms of Hazel-
ton Bros., New York, and is at all times united
with business activity. During the present fall
an unusually brisk retail trade has been trans-
acted at the warerooms, and the beautiful
Hazelton pianos diffuse their sweet influence
in numerous homes of the New York elite.

firm of Chickering & Sons is not only

believers in artistic advertising may be evi-

'ESSRS. BEHR BROS. & CO., the eminent
piano manufacturers of this city, have
just secured another triumph which shows out-
siders that the company's pianos are highly
appreciated in the metropolis. They have re-
ceived an order for five of their new uprights for
the Hotel Waldorf, William Waldorf Astor's
new hotel on Fifth avenue, which is probably
unsurpassed by any hotel in this city. The
instruments ordered are to be all in gold, and
the cases will be made in accordance with
special designs. They are to be placed in the
five bridal chambers of the new hotel.

Under the careful management of young Henry

JCOHE Piano Movers' Union, of New York
GT® city, ordered a strike last Monday, and
this move on their part has caused great incon-
venience to all firms who do not own their own
teams and equipments. If the strike continues
it will cause serious delay in shipping goods,
and at the present writing the demands of the
strikers, which are exorbitant, have not been
acceded to.

occupied the upper rooms of the building had a
narrow escape from death. The Grunewald
Opera House was built in 1874, but recent ex-
tensive additions and improvements had been
made by the erection of new buildings adjoin-
ing it. The Opera House was one of the best
known in the South. The recent additions
were used as piano warerooms, and it is stated
that there is considerable loss in this depart-
ment, as nearly all the New York firms with
whom the Grunewald concern are doing busi-
ness have received instructions by telegraph to
rush all orders placed with them. The Grune-
wald Company have also a wareroom on Canal
street, New Orleans, where, no doubt, their
entire business will be concentrated for the
present. It is stated that the Opera House
buildings and contents were fully covered by
insurance.
SPACE AND AWARDS AT THE FAIR.
seems to be considerable dissatisfac-
tion among the piano manufacturers as to
the amount of space given them for the ex-
hibition of pianos at the World's Fair, and also
as to the question of awards. It would be well
for the committee who have this matter in
charge to take prompt action, and let it be
thoroughly understood at once as to their action
on the question of awarding prizes or diplomas
of any kind. If action is delayed in this impor-
tant matter it will assuredly cause greater dis-
satisfaction. It is something which should be
clearly defined and settled at the start. Messrs.
Steinway & Sons have secured their allotment
of space for the exhibition of pianos, but the
space given them is very meagre, and therefore
unsatisfactory, as it will not enable them to
make the display of instruments to which their
prominence justly entitles them.
much dissatisfaction is caused among the
piano manufacturers, at the meagre space
which they are able to secure for the exhibition
of their pianos at the Chicago Exposition, that
some have already secured warerooms in prom-
nent localities in the city, while others have an-
nounced their intention of doing the same
thing. Among those who have leased ware-
rooms are the A, B. Chase Co. and Vose & Sons.
President Calvin Whitney of the A. B. Chase
Co., writes us as follows in relation to the large
building which he has just leased :

tor, referring to our securing exhibition ware-
rooms, while in the main correct, puts us in
a false position in one respect, by conveying the
impression that we do not propose to make an
exhibit on the Exposition grounds. On the con-
trary, we propose to make just as good an ex-
hibit as our limited space will permit.
The space assigned to the piano manufac-
turers or any of them is very small, and none of
them can make an exhibit of a full line of their
goods, or of half that. We are simply starting
a little Exposition on our own hook, where we
can show a full line of our goods, and entertain
the trade and people who are interested in our
pianos.
