TOPICS OF THE WEEK
JACK HAYNES will in future find traveling
unnecessary. He has placed a long distance
telephone in his wareroorns, and whenever he
wants a quiet talk on business, or other topics,
he has simply to Hello ! Hello ! Don't fail to
ring him up.
F. DECKER, of Decker Bros , sailed
for Europe by the " Spree " last Tuesday. He
will be gone probably four months.
WILLIAM
OUR sanctum was graced, during the week,
by the presence of the genial and popular John
N. Merrill, of Boston. He is taking a" flyer,"
and finds a steady and growing demand for the
new style Merrill pianos.
THE handsome building on Fifth avenue to
which Hamilton S. Gordon will move about
May 1st, is rapidly approaching completion. It
will afford him magnificent quarters, and the
location could not be better.
THROUGH the carelessness of some workmen
a water tap was left open on the top floor of the
Chickering warerooms, on Fifth avenue, Thurs-
day night of last week. That portion of the
building which is undergoing alterations was
saturated with water. Fortunately the side of
the building containing instruments was not
damaged.
THERE is no truth in the reported change of
the St. Paul agency of the Decker Bros, piano.
ALBERT WERER has returned from an ex-
tended trip through Canada and Michigan, and
is very well pleased with the result. He reports
a general improvement of trade in the different
:
cities he visited.
