THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Matchless McCammon.

PIANOS THAT MERIT THE SUPPORT OF DEAL
ERS WHO CAN APPRECIATE A GOOD
INSTRUMENT.
W
E wish to emphasize that the McCam-
mon Piano Co., of Oneonta, N. Y.,
are producing pianos to-day which merit
the investigation and support of dealers
who can appreciate really artistic designs,
tone quality that will satisfy the most criti-
cal musician, perfect scale, and a reliability
of construction that entitle the manufac-
turers to claim a big step ahead in the
matter of piano manufacturing.
The McCammon Piano Co. have always
been noted for their conscientiousness and
enterprise. Brainy, aggressive men make
up the personnel of the firm; they have
demonstrated their ability and goaheaded-
ness by making progress in the face of
several seasons of unprecedented dullness.
With a future of business prosperity as-
sured, the McCammon piano—up-to-date in
every essential—cannot fail to augment its
prestige and popularity. Dealers should
bear this fact in mind. If they want an in-
strument that will satisfy the purchaser,
help their reputation and, moreover, make
money for them, they cannot afford to over-
look the McCammon. The fall styles are
beauties. Perhaps just what you are look-
ing for.
Business with the McCammon Piano Co.
is "showing up" in splendid shape, and
the orders which are coming in from their
representatives indicate that the closing
month of '96 will be a record breaker.
Height, 4 feet 10 inches. Width, 5 feet 4 inches. Depth, 2 feet \)/ z inches.
Made in Burl Walnut, Mahogany and Quartered Oak.
W
E herewith produce an illustration of one of the most popular styles manufactured
by Strich & Zeidler, this city. The architectural design of this instrument is of
exceptional elegance and worthily in keeping with the rich, musical and individual tone
so marked a feature of all instruments produced by this rising house. Among the chief
characteristics of this ornate specimen of piano case architecture should be mentioned
the elegant allegorical bas-relief panels, in the upper frame, which very materially
enhance the general appearance of the instrument. Strich & Zeidler are certainly to be
congratulated on so admirable a production.
Woodbury of Jewett Fame.
F
J. WOODBURY, the business mana-
ger and traveler for the Jewett Piano
Co., Leominster, Mass., was in town last
Saturday. He left Sunday on a two weeks'
Southern trip. Mr. Woodbury is a tireless
worker in the Jewett interests. He has
shown himself thoroughly alive to the con-
ditions of trade, and through his efforts and
the special excellence of the Jewett piano,
a number of firms are pushing its interests
energetically. The coming year is bright
with promise for both the piano and the
firm.
