and one which would be of far greater
service to the trade, would be to omit item-
izing and print only totals. When a
manufacturer or supply man has had his
confidence and generosity abused — be-
trayed, for that is really the word which
applies to some of the recent failures—he
does not care to have it heralded before the
world just how far he. allowed his good
nature and generosity to overstep the line
of business prvidence.

The final hearing of the case of the Se-
bastian Sommer Piano Co. versus Marc A.
Blumenberg, for alleged criminal libel,
came up in the Jefferson Market Court last
Monday. The hearing resulted in Mr.
Blumenberg being held for the action of
the Grand Jury.
A significant fact in this case is that the
matter has been three times before the
Court and yet not a line of reference was
made to it in the Musical Courier of last
Wednesday.

The Cincinnati Iribunc of June 6th says
at the close of a long article on the Smith
& Nixon Co. :
"Meantime, after the above showing, the
creditors may rest easy, with the assurance
that they will get the amount of their
claims in full, although it may take some
time to realize upon the assets without loss.
" I t is predicted by those who are in a
position t . know, that the assignment,
which is, perhaps, the greatest that has
ever been recorded in this country, will be
raised within the next six months, and that
with a revival of prosperous times, the
business will soon be upon its old footing. "
In this connection it may be interesting
to state that we understand that one of the
owners ot the Cincinnati Tribune is Joseph
Glenn, relative of Joseph Glenn Ebersole,
of the assigned corporation. The Tribune
unquestionably has a different opinion re-
garding the affairs of Smith & Nixon than
many of the creditors.

Vose & Sons Piano Co.
LOGICAL REASONS WHY THEY SUCCEED—THEIR
LATEST STYLES STRENGTHENING THEIR
coming revival of trade we may expect the
"Vose" to play a prominent part on the
trade chessboard.
POSITION—A PROGRESSIVE HOUSE.
BOSTON firm whose name stands
out boldly and clearly in these days
of excitement and changes in the trade, is
the Vose & Sons Piano Co.
They maintain and conduct their busi-
ness on definite and distinct lines which re-
sult not only in the prevalence of health}'
conditions in all departments, but by rea-
son of their persistent and tireless atten-
tion to the general advancement of their
products, architecturally and acoustically,
they have won the right to command for
their pianos due consideration from dealers
interested in good, honest, reliable work and
an advanced place for the "Vose" among
the more important lines of the piano trade.
The new styles which the Vose & Sons
Piano Co. have recently placed on the
market are admirably conceived, and con-
tain many valuable improvements. They
are handsome in design, fine in finish, de-
lightful intone quality; individually and
collectively they are instruments which
would be distinctly a valuable addition to
the stock of any warerooms.
With this firm a new style or styles
means something more than an outward
transformation or change; it means that a
technical contribution has been embodied
which helps toward a greater perfection.
The later Vose styles are obviously
strengthening the position the house holds
as among the most progressive in the trade.
The Vose & Sons Piano Co. are not relying
—as well they might—upon the honorable
record of the house as much as they are upon
the fact that they are giving the greatest
possible value for the least money. One,
however, aids the other, and in the Vose
house and their products are combined
honor and merit.
The wholesale trade of Vose & Sons
maintains its even tenor, and that implies
no small share of activity. With the forth-

F. BOOT HE, secretary of the Se
basrian Sommer Piano Co., has
been appointed assignee for the Muehlfeld
& Haynes Piano Co. In regard to the
financial condition of the assigned firm
there is nothing .more to relate than was
printed in THE REVIEW of last Saturday.
It was the wish of the stockholders of the
company that one thoroughly well versed in
piano affairs should act as assignee, hence
they requested the appointment of Mr.
Boothe, who is thoroughly familiar with all
the details of piano manufacturing, and
who, without doubt, will work up the stock
on hand to the advantage of the creditors.
The Muehlfeld & Haynes Piano Co. have
made a hard fight, but were forced to suc-
cumb to the inevitable. The long con-
tinued hard times precipitated their down-
fall. Inability to make ready collections
and being continually hampered by lack of
capital, brought the assignment about.
There is much sympathy expressed in
the trade for Jack Haynes, who is almost
prostrated by the unfortunate turn which
his affairs have taken. Mr. Haynes has
been an indefatigable worker, and has a
host of friends in all parts of the country
who will sympathize with him in his un-
fortunate position.
At this time of writing it is hard to tell
just how the affairs of the firm will ulti-
mately turn out.
