THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
HAMILTON S. GORDON has sent out a very
pretty souvenir in connection with the opening
of his new establishment 139 Fifth avenue. It is
a marine view, showing fishermen's huts in the
foreground. The coloring and general effect is
artistic and worthy of a place in office or home.
In fact it is quite a work of art.
MR. J. R. MASON, of the Sterling Company,
Derby, Conn., is back from a business trip to the
Pacific Coast.
Albert L. Ebbels.
rR. Alfred Dolge has always been unusually
fortunate in securing as representatives
on the road men of undoubted ability. In this
respect he has always shown rare business
judgment. One of the shining lights of his
galaxy of roadmen is Mr. Albert I,. Ebbels, ap-
propriately styled " Al., " who, during his short
connection with this house has achieved a high
and well deserved reputation for devotion to
the interests of his employers, as well as facil-
ity for making friends among the trade.
Mr. Ebbels has been connected with trade and
musical matters for over eleven years, and out-
side of trade matters he is a musician and
journalist of some note. Mr. Ebbels served as
secretary to the Toronto Philharmonic Society,
spent seven years as manager of the Torring-
ton Orchestra, and during that time he demon-
strated his business and musical faculties to
such an extent that he was looked upon as an
invaluable accessory to their success. He first
became directly interested in the music trade
through his connection with the house of Mason
& Risch, for which he acted as salesman for two
years. In the meantime he served as musical
critic of the Toronto Empire, and his opinions
of matters musical were received and considered
of importance and weight. Mr. Ebbels decided
to leave the Queen's dominion, and came to
Chicago where he became connected with Presto
for a year and a half, from which position he
resigned and became connected with the house
of Alfred Dolge & Son.
The above is an excellent likeness of Mr. Al-
bert L,. Ebbels. As his picture shows, he is a
forceful man, who is bound to do business and
make friends, not only for the house he repre-
sents, but for himself.
MR. IyOUis GRUNEWALD, JR., road representa-
tive for Jacob Doll, is in New York, having just
returned from a successful Western trip.
MR. CHARLES BAUMEISTER has opened a piano
factory at 335 W. 36th street. He intends turn-
ing out about two pianos a week. The old Baus
scale will be used. Mr. Bautneister is an old
and experienced piano maker, and he should be
able to turn out a good piano.
THE Needham Piano & Organ Co. have inaugu-
rated an excellent method of keeping their
name before the public day and night—night
particularly. They have recently placed a large
sign in front of their warerooms, University
place and 14th street, upon which is inscribed
'' Needham Pianos,'' and which is shown forth
to the public at night by the aid of 250 electric
lamps of 16-candle power each, which are auto-
matically arranged to appear and disappear
alternately every ten seconds.
MR. OTTO WISSNER has been confined to his
home at Glen Cove, L,. I., through illness for
the past week. We trust his indisposition will
be of short duration.
THE NEW YORK AUTOHARP CLUB, 39 E. 19th
street, will close their musical season on June
15th. The Autoharp Club has proved to be a
success, and a marked interest is manifested by
the musical public in the instrument to which
they are devoted.
THE New York Herald says that Herman
Rippe has secured a judgment of $5,000 against
Edward Siegel by default. Both were employed
in Steinway's Piano Company in the fall of
1893. They quarrelled and Siegel assaulted the
other.
THE handsome Schubert piano which was of-
fered by the New York Recorder as a special
prize for the most popular schoolgirl, to be de-
cided by coupon vote, resulted in Miss Etta
Fallon, of this city, being the lucky winner.
She received 50,861 votes. She was presented
with the instrument at the Schubert warerooms
last Saturday afternoon in the presence of a
large number of friends and others interested.
THE Schimmel & Nelson Piano Co., Fari-
bault, Minn., have placed their pianos at
Chicago with the firm of Adler & Hornsteiner,
240 Wabash avenue. The Schimmel & Nelson
piano during its recent exhibition in Chicago
won a good deal of notice from the trade.
MR. M. R. SLOCUM has been engaged by the
Chicago Cottage Organ Co. for their Eastern
trade.
MESSRS. KOHLER & CHASE, of San Francisco,
have recently opened a branch house at L,os
Angeles under the management of Mr. Bell.
MR. Wm. C. CAMP, son of Mr. I. N. Camp,
Chicago, will become a benedict June 14th. Miss
Edith Schuyler will be the bride.
MR. GEO. MAXWELL, New York representat-
ive of Boosey & Co., 3 East 14th street, received
some very handsome samples of coaching horns
and flutes from the parent house during the past
week. The horns are splendidly finished and
although somewhat more expensive, owing to
the high duty, than the domestic manufacture,
they should find a ready market among our fash-
ionable set who are largely given to Coaching
Clubs nowadays. And then, they are English,
you know! Mr. Maxwell expects a large con-
signment of different styles of band instruments
in a few weeks, and the high reputation which
the Boosey instruments have earned in Europe
should enable them to become decidedly popular
with American bandsmen.
MR. O. L,. FOX, editor of the hidicator is in
N4W York.
LATT P. GIBUS, President of the Chicago
ic Co., is in town. He came to attend the
al meeting of the Musical Merchandise
d of Trade and incidentally to visit many
riends.

house is up to the average.
factory of Mason & Risch, of Worcester, Mass.,
is setting up some special styles of the Vocalion
organ.
J. F. WATERMAN, of Montpelier, Vt., has
opened a branch at Barre, Vt. Mr. Waterman
is very successful with a large line of instru-
ments, of which the Hazelton is leader.
A BOUNCING BOY has made his appearance in
the home of Geo. Bothner, Jr. We congratulate
the happy father, and offer best wishes for the
future of this youthful member of the piano
trade.
MR. FRANK D. ABBOTT, editor of the Presto,

" Normania," Thursday last.

known to the trade, is in town. He intends
buying quite a stock of pianos for his house.
He reports a satisfactory condition of business.
Mr. Klock has built up a large trade in tuning
and repairing in Oswego, and has on hand con-
tracts for the tuning of pipe organs in the most
important churches in that locality.
