have from time to time noted the great
advances made by the Hardman piano in
Europe. Among the house's recent European
conquests may be counted the purchase of a
Hardman piano by the Duke and Duchess of
Connaught. This sale was effected by Messrs.
J. Muir Wood & Co., the European agents of
Messrs. Hardman, Peck & Co. The Duke of
Connaught is Queen Victoria's second son. He
was married in 1879 to Princess Louise,
daughter of the late Prince Frederick Charles
of Prussia.
When personages allied so closely to royalty
show their appreciation of the merits of the
Hardman piano by placing one in their home,
it is certainly conclusive evidence of the high
esteem in which the Hardman piano is held in

of the most practical catalogues that
we have seen is that issued by the Mathu-
shek & Son Piano Co., New York. It is clear,
concise, original in make-up and contains in
few words the points that are of interest to in-

received one we would say write to the firm and
get one, you will be interested.

cholera has been successfully checked,
there is every indication that a magnificent
volume of business will be transacted this fall
in almost every line of manufactured goods.
During the past week we have had numerous
callers at our office from many sections of the
country, all of whom have been emphatic in
their statements that business in their various
localities would be excellent.

In an appeal to its advertisers The Couticr uses
the above choice expression. It is still another
of those classic literary gems upon which we have
commented in previous issues. There is ' ' some-

inst. after a European trip. As announced in a
previous issue of this paper, he made very satis-
factory arrangements in London for the sale of
the Newman Bros, organs, and he has also dis-
posed of a considerable number of the Starr
pianos. Mr. Haynes' trip was somewhat cur-
tailed on account of the illness of Mrs. Haynes,
but he is exceedingly enthusiastic over the
European prospects for the sale of the musical
instruments of which he is so able a pusher.
He is much refreshed by his trip, and is grati-
fied at the continued success of his business
here during his absence.
| | N the immense and constantly augmenting
broad land, the great house of Vose & Sons is
among the most potent factors. We see evi-
dences of this fact in the ever-increasing distri-
bution from the firm's factory. Wide-awake deal-
ers in the principal cities have learned that the
Vose pianos possess qualities which render
them easy sellers. The house of Vose is now
approaching the half century mark in piano

E dealers in many sections of the country
are learning the high merits of the
Sohmer piano, and are now pushing it as their
leading instrument. Three Western firms have
recently emphasized their belief in the Sohmer
by advertising it as their leader. Messrs.
Sohmer & Co. not only make magnificent in-
struments, which meet with unqualified en-
dorsement everywhere, but they are well advtr-
