T
HERE are "pianos and pianos," but
the pianos that make a lasting reputa-
tion for the dealer are those of such a high
grade and admitted excellence as the Henry
F. Miller & Sons Piano Co., Boston. That
name on a piano has been and will be a
guarantee that it is an instrument of su-
perior musical quality and thorough con-
struction in all its parts. The world-wide
reputation which the}' have attained
through constant use in parlor and concert
—where they have been used by some of
the most distinguished artists—will be aug-
mented this fall, judging from the particu-
lar pains taken by this firm to place upon
the market a line of styles that are in every
respect perfeet as to tonal quality and beau-
tiful from an architectural standpoint.
The Henry F. Miller & Sons Piano Co.
ha ye for years been earnest workers in the
field of artistic piano cases. In this con
nection they offered recently a special prize
for designs in an architectural paper. They
have secured quite a number, and it is pos-
sible that instruments will be manufactured
from these designs this fall. The Henry
F. Miller & Sons Piano Co. report a
marked improvement in their trade, and
they have every reason to fee! sanguine
about the outlook for business.
JOHN KUHL is back at his old post in
Steinway Hall, looking splendidly after his
short vacation.
CHARLIE BKCHT, the well-known traveler
for the Brambach Piano Co., Dolgeville,
N. Y. ; left last Monday night for a long
trip through the West and South. Mr.
Becht starts out in fine feather, and one
thing may be depended upon, that he will
turn in a goodly number of orders for the
Brambach piano.
CARL FISCHER, the well-known musical
instrument dealer, is expected to return
from his European trip the middle of this
month. The reports at his store show an
excellent trade, with all probabilities of a
heavy increase this fall.
MRS. CALL.AHAN, mother of one of
the
prisoners recently indicted by the Grand
Jury for complicity in the robbery of Dod-
worth's music store, at 125th street, was
brought before Recorder Goff last Wednes-
day on a charge of having sent him $5 in a
letter, asking him to treat her son leniently
when he came beiore him for trial. The
Recorder lectured her severely, and turn-
ing the money over in open court, allowed
her to go.
GOOD TIHE5
Are now with us and the era of cheap-
ness is past. Therefore it will pay
the dealer to handle a piano that
will build him a reputation—the
Henry F. Miller
Piano will do that. It will give
in all cases the best satisfaction to
the purchaser. It will pay you to write
to the manufacturers and learn more
