THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
THK O. A. Field Piano Co. was formally
incorporated in St. Louis last week, with
$30,000 capital stock, in three hundred
shares of $100 each, fully paid.
AT a meeting of the Kroeger Piano Co.,
held last week, C. B. Garritson was selected
president, A. W. Kroeger, treasurer, and
T. La M. Couch, secretary. Mr. Garritson
is a well-known business man, not unknown
to the piano trade, having formerly been in
the string business. He will devote much
of his time to the road interests of the
Kroeger Piano Co.
THK W. W. Kimball Co. have leased the
handsome five-story buiiding at 109 Cal-
houn street, Ft. Wayne, Ind., and will oc-
cupy these quarters after January 1st.
This establishment has been run for the
past two years as the ' 'Arcade Music Store.
HENRY WF.OMAN, of the Wegman Piano
Co., Auburn, N. Y., suffered a shock from
electricity while repairing the dynamo in
the factory recently. He sustained trifling-
injuries.
JOHN O'SHEA, music dealer, Holyoke,
Mass., has completely remodeled his store,
which is now one of the nicest in that
town. He is carrying a very complete
stock of pianos, organs and small instru-
ments.
of the John Church Co., has been chosen
president of the Cincinnati Commercial-
Gazette Co.
THK rumor that Ludden & Bates were
about to remove the headquarters of their
house from Savannah, Ga., has been denied
by the officers of the firm.
A SOUTHERN States Exposition is projected
for Chicago, with the intention of bringing
into closer relations the great West and the
new South. Plans are already perfected to
this end, it is said, and it is now merely a
question of details. Where does New York
come in ?
AT a meeting of the lumbermen in Tex-
arkana, Ark., last week, it was resolved to
curtail production one-third by running
the mills four days a week. This means a
reduction of output to the amount of 5,000,-
000 feet a day, or 1,500,000,000 feet a year.
THK new F. G. Smith branch store at
Paterson, N. J., will be under the manage-
ment of James Hough. This will give Mr.
Smith two important stores in New Jersey,
the other being in Newark. The Jersey
people evidently like the Bradbury piano,
judging from the excellent business done
in the latter city.
F. M. HULKTT is making a Western trip
in the interest of the Jacob Doll piano.
Mr. Hulett's/yrt'wicr trip is a great success,
judging from the satisfactory orders which
are being sent in to the home office.
Jacob Doll reports a very busy factory, and
the outlook for business right up to spring
is encouraging.
