THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Mason & Hamlin pianos will in fu-
ture be sold in New Orleans by the old re-
liable house of Philip Weirlin, Ltd. They
will push these instruments not only in
New Orleans, but also in Mississippi. A
good house and good selection on both sides.
The Sterling Co. have inaugurated an ac-
tive campaign in Brooklyn. They are ad-
vertising extensively on the elevated
stands, the ferries, in fact all over the city,
as well as in the daily papers. Results
which always follow intelligent advertising
are being experienced. Since the opening
day trade has been steadily growing, and
the prospects are very bright.
Thos. Goggan & Bro. are now handling
the Mason & Hamlin pianos and organs in
their several branch houses in Texas.
Sanders & Stayman, of Washington, are
pushing the Weber pianos in good style,
and the results are already apparent.
Champlain & Co., Boston, are handling
the Shaeffer piano.
Edward D. Jardine, of Geo. Jardine &
Son, organ manufacturers, was married in
this city on April 21st, to Miss Carrie D.
Raymond.
The Vose & Sons agents report a remark-
ably fine trade with the new style " K"
Vose upright. It is a " winner" right
along the line.

is expected back from Europe the early
days of next month.
Edward Germain of Saginaw, Mich.,
who recently entered the piano business,
has engaged C. Edward Pryor, formerly
with the Cunningham Piano Co., Phila-
delphia, as superintendent of his factory.
Mr. Germain is well known as a maker of
piano backs, cases, etc.
According to a Chillicothe, O. paper, E.
J. Prante and A. J. Smith of Pennsylvania
have made arrangements to erect a factory
in that place for the manufacture of elec-

built on patents secured by Mr. Prante,
run by electricity, and played by means of
a perforated paper.

We are indebted to McArthur & Sons,
the enterprising music trade dealers of
Knoxville, Tenn., for a very neat volume
giving views of that city before and after
the fire which destroyed its most magnifi-

exceeding a million dollars. This book of
views, by the way, contains an advertise-
ment from McArthur & Sons, giving the
interior and exterior of their handsome
warerooms.

piano he represents.
Eugen D'Albert is making a sensation in
Germany, where he is now appearing in

attention of our Teutonic friends as it
should be by a master.
The well-known music house of Foisy
Freres with headquarters at Montreal and
Quebec, Can., have dissolved partnership,
and the business will be conducted in
future by two distinct houses. Messrs. S.
T. and G. W. Foisy will continue the busi-
ness in Montreal under the original title of
Foisy Freres while Mr. A. A. Foisy will
conduct the business under his own name
in Quebec City. The Foisy brothers have
a large clientele among the French popula-
tion in Canada.
Mme. Teresa Carreno made her final
appearance in New York at Carnegie Hall
last Saturday. The proceeds of her con-
cert were applied to that very worthy
charity the French Day Nursery of Wash-
ington Square.
Mme. Carreno's tournee has been such a
tremendous success that it has been further
extended. In this connection it may be
remarked that the marked success of the
new scale Knabe grand which she uses ex-
clusively, has been co-equal with that of
the distinguished pianiste.
The grand organ to be used in the Audi-

his home in Rowayton, Conn.
Jacob Doll has just issued a new cata-

to say that the volume will not disappoint
those—and they are many in number—who
believe in Mr. Doll and his products.
