MELVILLE W. CLARK,
of the story &
Clark Organ Co., is the recipient of an
honor conferred upon him by the Academy of In-
ventions, Paris. Mr. Clark has won high renown
by the invention and perfection of many new
and original features which are utilized in the
instruments made by his company.
||||>LBERT WEBER stated, during a recent
(^{73 interview, that business with the Weber
company is excellent, and that all their old
dealers had manifested their appreciation of the
enlargement of the Weber business by sending
in liberal orders. Dealers who handle the Weber
piano, and expect an early shipment of their or-
ders, should lose no time in placing them, as
there is sure to be an unprecedented demand
during this fall for the Weber instruments.
STEINWAY left Southampton
last Saturday on the steamship Feurst
Bismarck, and is expected to arrive in New
York this morning.
J g E O R G E W. LYON left this city last night
transacted by Lyon, Potter & Co, His order at
the Steinway factory was for six car-loads of
pianos, a fact that forcibly demonstrates the
magnitude of the business controlled by his
firm.
Jc|fHE Commercial Travelers' Club of New
GT& York have, after a close competition, se-
lected the Emerson piano as the instrument to
adorn their parlors at the club house, No. 15
West 31st street, this city. This only serves to
show that the Emerson piano is not only gaining
popularity in private, but also in public circles,
and the placing of this grand piano in the club
house of a commercial organization adds a new
laurel to the Emerson wreath.

GT 3 their way to fame is, perhaps, best evi-

position in the music trades of America is pro-
minent, and who are not likely to continue un-
profitable branches of their business. In cities
outside of New York, notably Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and Washington, these instru-
ments have been steadily growing in popular
favor and are purchased by the very best people
of those cities.
The Company's warerooms, on 23d street, this
city, are a rendezvous for the wealthy and cul-
tured people of the metropolis, who are enthu-
siastic over the ^lvolian, and have written the
firm many letters of high commendation of and
admiration for this really wonderful musical
invention. Among the most prominent patrons
of the firm are many of the best-known New
Yorkers. Edmund C. Stanton writes as follows :
'' I take this opportunity of saying that I
consider the yKolian the greatest musical edu-
cator I have yet known. I find in my own case
that my children, young as they are, already
develop good taste in the selections they take,
and the ease and facility with which the instru-
ment is played, will, I am confident, educate
the musical taste of the general public to a very
high degree, since it enables them to become,
without previous musical training on any in-
strument, early familiar with the works of the
great composers.''
Some of the principal dealers who have
handled this instrument for years are warm in
their praise of its wonderful powers, and have
also stated that they found it to be one of the
most profitable instruments on their list. The
wide-awake American dealer is always looking
for something that can be added to his business
without great expense, and to which is attached
a goodly profit. It seems that the ^Eolian fills
the bill in this respect, and, where territory is
not already secured, the shrewd dealer will do
well to secure it. While visiting town during
the coming Columbian festivities, it will be well
to pay a visit to the artistic warerooms of the
^Kolian Co., at No. 18 West 23dstreet. The visit
will prove both instructive and pleasing, and
may result in opening up a profitable adjunct to
the visitor's business.
THE grand opening of the magnificent music
house of Messrs. Kops Bros., in the O'Neil block,
120 Broadway, Kargo, N. D., occurred Monday
evening, September 26th. Rupert's orchestra
rendered a choice selection of airs, which charm-
ed the ear, while the handsome display of musi-
cal goods and voluminous array of stock pleased
the eye. After the completion of the concert
the members of the orchestra and representatives
of the press were invited to partake of a collation,
which was served by Ehrman.
