THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
The newspapers publish most frightful
wood-cuts of butchers, piano tuners, etc.,
while posters which are often the work of
skilled artists, and are not badly printed in
colors, assume such dimensions that it is
impossible in Europe to form any idea of
them. Whole scenes of sensational dramas
are frequently represented, with figure., of
twelve persons or more in life size.
he says "seven black fellows in grotesque
costumes paraded the streets as sandwich
men, each bearing a single letter of the
name in large, black type on the front of a
tall and narrow snow-white hat." Another
letter appeared on the back—white on the
coat's black ground—and the two were so
fixed that the toilet article could be read in
two ways. The particular sandwich men,
the Doctor said, stopped a little too often
on their route, and, later in the day, were
found reeling away from the proper orthog-
raphy, and mixing their letters terribly.

Our habit of putting up posters and ad-
vertisements everywhere was offensive to
Dr. Lindau.
They are seen "in every conceivable and
inconceivable place"—on "buildings in
course of erection, bridges, railings, heaps
of building stone temporarily standing
somewhere," etc. In the midst of the
Western forests he did not escape seeing
them. "On the road between Vancouver
and New Westminster the trunks of trees
are made to announce the excellent quali-
ties of certain tooth-washes, digestion pas-
tiles, etc., while in the new towns adver-
tisements are chalked in large type on tall,
black posts."
He found that even the dogs were util-
ized somewhere in the West—which, as it
is certainly exceptional even here, may be
worth further attention. Those he saw
were white dogs and bore on their backs
"the address in black of a hat manufactur-
er." As the whole country is vexed with
useless curs, perhaps this fashion, when it
is better known, may be further adopted to
make them useful, while an accompanying
muzzle makes them harmless. (This is
cv/r-sorily, not tf^-matically, suggested.)

The Doctor was struck also with the car-

was printed the advertisement in large

Judging from the rose-colored accounts
of business seen in the various trade papers
one would readily imagine that the sum-
mer of discontent is not with us; that even
in torrid July the men are working over-
time, and all are away behind in their
orders. The leal facts in the case are that
while the summer is not as quiet as the
summer of '94, yet there are signs on the
horizon which bespeak great business pros-
perity; but as for a rush of business at the
present time, I don't know just where to
find it, and I question if there are many
men who desire it.

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING,
and thousands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
THE STERLING ORGAN has always taken the lead, and
the improvements made this year puts it far ahead of
all others. lt^*Send for Catalogue.
