we desire to say to all dealers and others

hoped that the Weber agents throughout the
country will signify their approval of arrange-

orders for fall stock without delay.

108 FIFTH AVENUE,
NEW YORK, August 25, 1892.
MR. EDWARD LYMAN BILL,
New York, N. Y.
: We beg to advise you that all the
property and assets, including real estate, trade
marks and good will of the estate of Albert
Weber, having been this day transferred to and
taken over by the Weber Piano Company, of
New York, the Weber Piano business will in
future be conducted by the said company.
All outstanding accounts and notes due the
estate of Albert Weber are now owned by, and
should be paid to the new company (a cor-
poration organized under the laws of the State
of New York, having a paid up capital stock of
seven hundred thousand dollars), which assumes
and will pay in full at maturity the liabilities of
the estate of Albert Weber, as per the trustees'
account as filed with the court.
In thus notifying you of the succession to the
business of the estate of Albert Weber by the
Weber Piano Company, we avail ourselves of
the occasion to express to our business friends
our high appreciation of their courtesy and
kindness in the past, as well as of their loyalty
to the Weber Pianos ; and as the high standard
of excellence for which these pianos are so justly
renowned will, in every respect, be fully main-
tained by the Weber Piano Company, we be-
speak for our successors a continuance of the
friendly and liberal relations so long enjoyed by
ourselves. Respectfully yours,
DEAR SIR
J. Burns Brown is just back from a Western
trip, during which he met with unusual success
in placing agencies for the A. B. Chase piano.
Mr. Brown reports that the factory at Norwalk
is a very busy institution.
Reinard Kochman, the " Hardman hustler,"
is getting ready for his fall campaign, and is
making up a choice repertoire of stories to dis-
tribute on his trip.
W. A. White left New York Wednesday of
this week for an extended trip throughout the
West and Northwest. Mr. White represents a
piano which is popular everywhere—the Hazel-
ton. The old established dealers of Hazelton
Bros., who have handled the Hazelton piano for
many years, will meet the new road representa-
tive of the house with pleasure, and we have no
doubt that Mr. White will form many new
agencies. He will journey as far north as Da-
kota, going south from there and visiting the
Mississippi towns.
Albert G. Wigand, formerly with Ernest Gab-
ler and Bro. and the Sterling Piano Co., is now
representative for the Braumuller Co. Mr.
Wigand is well known among the trade and his
pushing qualities will tell well for the Brau-
muller Co. on the road.

T H E ESTATE OF ALBERT WEBER.
A STUDY OF CHARACTER FROM HANDWRITING.
STUDY VIII.—ALFRED DOLGE.
R. ALFRED DOLGE'S signature is well-
known to almost every reader. Every let-
ter is vigorous, every word well connected in his
sentences, and there are evident incisiveness
and strength visible not only in his handwriting
but in his manner of placing words. Of course,
like all writers, Mr. Dolge's methods are largely
influenced by intuition or instinct, but it must be
also remembered that character is elementally
allied to instinct, though moulded by education
and environment. Mr. Dolge's chirography is
flowing without being too free—in addition to
possessing the other qualities given. Judging
character from that source I venture this diag-
nosis : Mr. Dolge has all the instincts of a
pioneer who starts out to overcome obstacles, but
always to overcome them by logical and clear-
sighted methods. A fine large emotional nature
is joined to an extensive range of mental per-
ception, well balanced by a splendid physical
organization, otherwise he would have a ten-
dency to leap at difficulties impetuously, and so
come to grief at times. Imagination is a mental
condition inseparable from a very emotional
nature. It has a tendency when not well con-
trolled by a cultured reasoning faculty to lead
one into very unproductive and foolish enter-
prises. But Mr. Dolge is fortunate in possessing
fine logical acumen, as well as breadth of mental
vision and these, added to a cultivated will
power, render his a very strong and potent
personality.
Mr. Dolge's signature is very easy to read,
but it is almost superfluous to say that a very
thorough knowledge of human nature is neces-
sary in order to read character from that seem-
ingly small basis. Mr. Dolge's combined
mental and emotional nature is, like his phy-
sique, of the strong and vigorous order. His
sympathies are large and far reaching. His
mind readily grasps large problems and large
questions of political or social moment. He
finds much pleasure in the abstract and in the
study of generalities, but his peculiar mental
equipment enables him to discover elements of
order and intelligence in what would be as a
sealed book to others. If Mr. Dolge possessed
a little sagacity of a certain kind he would
make his mark in the field of politics; that
quality would, however, considerably detract
from a mental and physical organization of a
very high order. Mr. Dolge is a far more useful
citizen in his present sphere of action.
