I have heard spoken of here as one of the
cleverest bits of advertising lately done in
trade papers.
Mr. Geo. W. Tewksbury, of the Chicago
Cottage Organ Co., has gone for a long trip
to California. On his return he will take
in the beauties of the valley of the Yo-
semite.
The Musical Times says: The cash sales
at the Lyon & Healy house during the
month of May, 1895 — including all the
various lines handled—exceeded the cash
sales of any May for the past five years.
This means that the cash sales this year
in May were greater than during the boom-
ing May months of 1892 and 1893.
And heretofore these years have been
looked upon as banner records.
When a firm of the greatness of Lyon &
Healy can show such a record as this, it is
surely inspiring, and must be to all the
members of the music trade.
Geo. C. Crane, Eastern representative of
the Krell piano, has been spending a few
days in town.
The Symphony.
A
BEAUTIFUL selection of Symphony
organs are now being displayed in
the New York warerooms of the Wilcox &
White Co., 123 Fifth avenue. The case
designs are architectural gems, well pro-
portioned and pleasing to the eye, while
the musical quality of the instruments is so
rich in variety of effects—controlled by the
different stops—that it appeals to every one
who appreciates good music. The Sym-
phony organs are essentially automatic, yet
in the hands of a musician charming effects
in tempo and artistic coloring are possible.
The Symphony is growing in popularity
throughout the country, and nowhere is it
more appreciated than in New York, where
the sales are gradually increasing. Trade
at the Symphony parlors is unusually good,
times considered.
Some very excellent
sales were made last week and the early
part of this week.
THE Baldwin Piano Co., of Cincinnati,
have commenced the erection of a large
piano factory in that city, almost opposite
the main entrance to Eden Park.
