do not insult the intelligence of our subscribers
by offering some trivial toy. Anyone who reads
the list will perceive that the books contain the
cream of the best thought in American and
English literature. Any set of those standard
works will form an acceptable addition to the
home library. The best fiction is educative and
uplifting. It is not only entertaining but in-
structive. Now-a-days anyone who has not
read the works of some of the great novelists is
considered deficient in intellectual culture. Our
proposition enables those who take advantage
of it to add to their libraries, to their store of
mental acquirement and to their amusement, at
a very economical outlay when the prices at
which our premiums ordinarily sell are taken
into consideration.
Any of the sets of books that we offer would
make a most elegant and acceptable Christmas
present or New Years' gift, and we commend
the list to the attention of our readers.
THE FUTURE OF THE STEINWAY PIANO
IN PHILADELPHIA.
January ist, 1893, the Steinway
piano in Philadelphia will be handled by
a new concern, composed of members of the firm
of Steinway & Sons, and Freeborn G. Smith and
his son. They have secured wareroom quarteis
in the Hazelton building, 1418 Chestnut street,
27 feet front by 235 feet in depth, where the
Steinway and other makes of instruments will
be placed on sale. Messrs. Blasius & Sons, the
present agents of the Steinway in Philadelphia,
have gone extensively into manufacturing, and

artistic advertising which has appeared
from time to time in THE MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW has attracted widespread attention in
all sections of the land. The advantages to be
derived from advertising in THE MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW are appreciated by a large and rapidly
augmenting constituency. This is perhaps best
evidenced by the fact that our advertising col-
umns are constantly showing increase. Our
resources are such that no news in any quarter
of the country escapes the vigilance of our re-
presentatives. We have spared neither pains
nor expense to make each issue of T H E MUSIC
TRADE REVIEW a complete r/sum/of that week's
history. The business man of to-day likes a
clean-cut paper, authentic and reliable in the
matter of news, and he finds it in THE MUSIC
TRADE REVIEW.

ner of Spain on the shores of the New World.

strikingly artistic in its appearance. We may

cations for still further evidences of the Sohmer
Company's strong belief in artistic advertising.
