THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Everett in Gotham.
THE JOHN CHURCH CO. WILL OCCUPY THE NEW
MAGNIFICENT BUILDING, I 4 I - I 4 3 FIFTH
AVE. WILL OPEN SHORTLY AFTER
JANUARY 1ST —MANAGER WRIGHT
SURROUNDS HIMSELF WITH
A STRONG STAFF.
F
OR months past there has been much
speculation rife as to just where the
headquarters of the John Church interests
in New York would be located. vSome of
the trade papers have, on various occasions,
gone so far as to locate the building and all
that, but during all the while, Mr. A. M.
Wright, who will be the general manager,
and his business associates have preserved
a dignified silence and not until this week
has the matter been given out officially.
The handsome new building, Nos. 141-3
Fifth avenue, near Twenty-first street, will
be the future home of the Everett piano.
The Everett Building, for that is the name
by which it will be known henceforth, is a
large new ten story building which, in the
course of construction, has been specially
designed and arranged under the super-
vision of Mr. Wright, whose instructions
have been carried out as to the interior ar-
rangements. On the first floor will be lo-
cated the main warerooms and the general
offices of the company. The arrangement
of the other floors has not as yet been de-
termined upon.
The Everett Building will be the point
from which all of the business of the John
Church Co. in the East will be directed.
This will include the distribution of the
Everett and Harvard pianos from the Bos-
ton factories, and the distribution of all
other musical wares and publications of
which the John Church Co., Cincinnati, are
general factors. The Everett Building
will give a magnificent metropolitan home
to the Everett piano. It will give it a lo-
cation in an imposing new building on New
York's principal thoroughfare.
; The opening of the Everett Building will
also mark a new epoch in music trade his-
tory, as it will be the first time that a West-
ern musical corporation has ever opened
an establishment in New York on such an
extensive scale. We have had Western
manufacturers open small warerooms in
New York, but nothing in style that even
approaches this latest move of the John
Church Co.
A word as to the personnel of the New
York concern. The general manager will
be Mr. A. M. Wright, late president of the
Manufacturers' Piano Co., of Chicago. Mr.
Wright is a talented, dignified member of
the trade. A man possessed of much per-
sonal magnetism, and has clean-cut, force-
ful ideas regarding business advancements.
Knowing Mr. Wright as we do, it is safe
to say that all of the talk which we have
heard about cutting and slashing prices,
"Western methods" and all that, is the
most arrant rot. There is no doubt in our
mind but that Mr. Wright's management of
the Eastern affairs of the John Church Co.
will be characterized by dignity and force.
