with your Blasius piano. I have used many in-

superior in merit."
,'HILE business is not precisely what
Alfred Dolge & Son would desire, yet
they are not grumbling. Besides gratifying
domestic orders, they have received during the
past week several large orders for hammer felt
from London and the Continent.

gold piano which Sohmer & Co. had on
exhibition at the World's Fair, has been
attracting much notice in the window of their
warerooms on 14th street, during the early part
of the week. On Wednesday evening it was on
exhibition at the Conservatory of Church Music
Concert, where it evoked many expressions of
admiration.

for fifteen of their handsome pianos. This is
only another merited tribute to the widely es-
tablished reputation of the Steck piano.
of the hopeful and confident men of the
trade is George W. Peek. His optimism
is infectious. It stimulates everybody and
everything in the immediate vicinity. Appar-

report general business as good.

that Scott's peculations, by kiting checks and
forgery, amounts to $3,300.

Vermont, Hon. Levi K. Fuller, of the
Estey Organ Co., has pointed out the day in
November when you will be almost sure of find-
ing a chicken or turkey bone to polish off. Our
advice to any one who is thus pleasantly bound
by ties of blood, or otherwise, is to go right up
there to Vermont. As New Englanders, we
know how right royally the hand of good
fellowship is extended to those who come back.
fflHE Self-playing Symphony Organ, manu-

Conn., is acknowledged to be without a peer
in the field of automatic construction. It holds
a distinct place, and is a boon to all who want
to hear good music well rendered, without
gratifying their desires on a piano or organ.

"ESSRS. HALLET & DAVIS, Boston,
have been noted for their conservatism
and progressiveness during the financial storm
we are just now weathering. They are conserv-

situation, and are not out with the statement
that " business is about twice as good as this
time last year," and progressive, in as much as
they manage to do a good business, and make
things " hum " in a quiet, unostentatious way.
«
HE house of Vose & Sons Piano Company
never relied to any extent upon awards or
medals to further establish the acknowledged
reputation of their celebrated pianos, yet that
such a merited encomium has been accorded
them unequivocally establishes what is gener-
ally known, that the product of their factory is
indubitably one of the best in the market. They
have an old and distinguished standing in the
piano industry that enables them to place their
pianos to advantage with the leading dealers in
the United States who, we are glad to know,
find a growing demand for them.
3N instrument that is rapidly growing in
popular favor is the Edna organ, manu-
factured by the Edna Piano and Organ Com-
pany, Monroeville, O. The originality in case
design, good tone qualities and handsome fin-
ish, which is characteristic of these instruments,
entitle them to be placed among the most sale-
able organs made, hence dealers experience
little difficulty in finding customers. This
pleasing condition of trade is obvious, when we
realize that in one day last week they received
no less than 46 mail orders for the Edna organ.
The fame of these instruments is not confined to
the United States alone, for among orders re-
ceived there were two from London and Switz-
erland.
