THE WEAVER FORCES GIVE PRACTICAL TESTI-
MONY OF THEIR SYMPATHY WITH THE
WORTHY CAUSE OF LIBERTY.
Opening of C. H. Lichty's Music
Store.
HE new music house of C. H. Lichty,
64 r Penn street, Reading, Pa., was
formally opened Thursday of last week.
The Ringgold and Germania Orchestras
delighted the hundreds who were present,
with their charming music, and suitable
souvenirs were distributed to all in attend-
ance.
The building is an architectural gem.
The front to the height of two stories is al-
most solid glass, enabling a magnificent dis-
play of the wares handled. The first floor
is devoted to sheet music and stringed in-
struments of ever)' kind. A piano room
one hundred and fifty feet deep is divided
off from the general merchandise portion of
the first floor by a massive glass partition.
On the rear of the ground floor are Mr.
Lichty's, the salesmen's and the bookkeepers'
offices. The second floor is given up al-
most wholly to pianos. The third floor is
for organs and teachers in vocal and instru-
mental music. The building is excellently
equipped, the woodwork is in oak, and
enormous clusters of electric lights give
the place a daylight aspect at night.
Mr. Lichty has spent twenty years of his
life in the music trade business, fifteen of
which have been passed in Reading.
T
HE sympathy of the American people
with the men WMO are making so
gallant and successful an effort to free
Cuba from the control of Spain is not only
universal, but practical. It exists among'
all classes—rich and poor, employer and
employee. An illustration of this right in
the music trade came to our attention a
few days ago.
