J | | T T O WISSNER is not "leaving grass
«sp» grow under his feet'' in the way of in-
genious advertising of his pianos. One of his
latest advertisements represents a picture of
Madison Square Garden, with Seidl and his
orchestra surrounding a beautiful Wissner
grand, the satisfied faces of the musicians ex-
pressing the pleasure and satisfaction which
they derive from the beautiful tones of that in-
strument. The " ad " is a pretty effective one,
and entirely in line with Mr. Wissner's go-
ahead methods.

are doing some extensive advertising in the
daily papers, and the increased business for the
past week is the result. Mr. L. C. Wegefarth,
the manager of the retail department, is mak-
ing energetic efforts to give the Needham pianos
and organs a metropolitan standing, and he will
undoubtedly succeed. The warerooms of the

S E N A T O R W. M. VOORHEES ( Chairman
G@* of the Senate Committee on Finance,
issued a voluminous circular some time ago to
manufacturers of pianos, organs and makers of
other kinds of musical instruments with a view
of securing information as to the character and
amount of their output, capital invested, prices,
wages, rates of imports, duties, etc. From the
replies to hand Mr. Voorhees expects that the
answers to the thirty-five interrogatories, sub-
sell became acquainted with the Russell Piano
Co. he has displayed every quality which goes
so far to make a successful business man.
Under his management the pianos of his house
have won a large share of popularity, and they
command a large trade all over the country.
The future is bright for the Russell Piano Co.
and there is no doubt it will witness an en-
larged sphere of trade for the Russell piano.
Mason & Hamlin Organ and Piano Co.
have arranged to occupy the premises No.
136 Fifth avenue, between 18th and 19th streets,
as soon as alterations are completed. The
building is in the form of a private residence at
present and it will be remodeled so as to make
it one of the handsomest warerooms on the
avenue. This will entail a cost of some $20,000.
In their new location the Mason & Hamlin
Organ and Piano Co. will be sandwiched between
Hardman, Peck & Co. and Horace Waters & Co.,
and by adding Chickering & Sons, it is readily
seen that they present a formidable row of
piano houses on one block. It is expected that
Mason & Hamlin *s new concern will be ready
for occupancy about May 1st.
Miller Organ Co., Lebanon, Pa., are a
modest, though progressive, business
house. They can congratulate themselves with
having largely escaped the business depression
so universal the past year, and can point with
some pride to the gratifyingly large volume of
trade transacted. The Miller organ is a sale-
able organ, and it is noted for its beauty of case
design and tone. Their special styles in both
five and six octaves are worthy of commenda-
dation. The Miller organ is carefully con-
