We predict for this house a great future,
although its present standing is an honor to the
trade, the company being possessed of large
capital enabling them to handle to the best
possible advantage their large and growing
business.
The annual output of the factory is from 3,500
to 4,000 pianos, and when we were in Chicago
they had just begun running the factory full
time, showing that trade with the Bush & Gerts
Piano Company at least was encouraging and
that a decided improvement had set in.
It is to be regretted that a house of such un-
questioned standing in the trade and pro-
ducing a piano of such excellence and merit
should be made the victims of an uncalled for
and undeserved attack by one of our contem-
poraries.
REMENYI A VEGETARIAN.
Although the members of the firm are modest
and unassuming, there is no denying the fact
that the Bush & Gerts piano is meeting with
most decided success, and is acknowledged to
be one of the best medium priced pianos to-day
in the market.
The quality of material and workmanship
throughout cannot be questioned by any one
who will take pains to examine, being of
good quality and of high grade of excellence,
and some of the case work exhibited in the
warerooms of this house is a marvel of artistic
skill and mechanical perfection.
Testimonials from dealers and purchasers of
these excellent instruments are constantly
being received by the Bush & Gerts Piano Com-
pany couched in terms that must be a source of
great satisfaction to the makers of this ex-
cellent piano. One instance in particular that
was mentioned to us upon the occasion of our
visit, being the purchase of a Bush & Gerts
piano constructed for and exhibited at the
World's Fair, which was being prepared for
shipment by the Masonic Library Association at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this being the only
Masonic Library Association in the United
States. This piano was purchased for use in
their building at Cedar Rapids, which is a
beautiful structure, erected especially for the
Library Association, and containing a most

out the country, for a piano to be placed in our

Remenyi, like Paderewski and Rubinstein, is
sparing in his d # iet, but he has progressed be-
yond them in becoming a vegetarian and in
abandoning the use of cigarettes, to which he,
like them, was addicted. While the violinist
was in Topeka the other day he received a letter
from his son, who lives now on Staten Island,
announcing that he, too, was determined to give
up eating any animal food. Remenyi's reply
was : " Don't you think that one d

forty-seven violins, including examples of the
work of all the great Cremona manufacturers of
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

If you expect a future for your business do not longer impose a
cheap organ on your customers, but secure at once the agency for
the Edna Organ. Order sample organ and write for catalogue at
once. Dealers are cordially invited to visit the factory and see
