THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Yesterday afternoon the special instru-
ments ordered by the management of the
Hotel Astoria were expected to reach
Chickering Hall. They will be on exhibi-
tion until Monday, when they will be
placed in position in the hotel.
We understand that the new piano house
in Baltimore, the G. Fred Kranz Co., will
handle, in addition to the Chickering, the
Vose, Brown & Simpson and one or two
NewYork makes. Among the latter will pro-
bably be Looschen & Meinberg. Mr. Kranz
was a caller at Chickering Hall this week.
The Gibson Piano Co., on a call yester-
day, reported business so active that it is
difficult to keep up with orders. Since the
standard of production was raised some
months ago, ordershave increased rapidly.
Mr. Boothe is expected home to-day from
his lengthy tour.
The Stultz & Bauer report this week is
encouraging. All hands are kept busy and
shipments of new styles, particularly
style 7—a cut of which appeared in the last
issue of The Review—are heavy and fre-
quent. Mr. Golden started out on Wed-
nesday for a three weeks' trip.
Among the Chicago trade representa-
tives who are entertaining General Pros-
perity on his tour of the country are the
J. A. Norris Co. of Chicago. The mag-
nificent styles of Mason & Hamlin and Vose
pianos on exhibition are greatly admired,
and better still are being purchased. If
business is fairly good at all, such instru-
ments as they handle should get more than
its average share.
The Boston Music Trade Association
held an important meeting and dinner at
the Hotel Thorndike last evening, of course
too late for notice in this issue.
F. H. Frazell, music dealer of Benton
Harbor, Mich., disposed of his stock of
musical instruments and music on Monday
last to Chas. Bowman, who will personally
continue the business.
Mr. Brown of Ellenville, N. Y., and T.
B. Powell, of Scranton, Pa., were among
the callers at the Mason & Hamlin ware-
rooms this week. They left good orders.
Rufus W. Blake of the Sterling Co. was
in the city Thursday.
Reinhard Koch man starts on Monday to
cover an extended area in the Krakauer in-
terests. He will probably be away several
weeks.
Mr. Campbell, of the Knight-Campbell
Co., Denver, Col., was a visitor to the city
during the week.
M. J. Riegel, of Easton, Pa., was a
caller this week at the Everett warerooms
in this city.
E. Gabler & Bro.
At the Gabler warerooms the present ex-
hibit of uprights and grands is a repre-
sentative one, embracing every Gabler
style in several woods. At the factory, in
every department and on all floors of the
huge building, workmen are kept hustling.
Rest and leisure are out of the question.
Mr. Bareuther started off again on Monday
on a business trip.
Organ Stop Knobs and Stems.
The organ stop knobs and stems made
by the Hoggson & Pettis Mfg. Co., 64-6
Court street, New Haven, Conn., have long
maintained a reputation as among the most
satisfactory in their special line. They are
made of the best material, finely finished
—in fact the strongest proof of their ex-
cellence is the number of flattering letters
which the manufacturers have received.
Now that we are celebrating the renais-
sance, as it were, of the organ trade, we
look for a substantial appreciation of the
Hoggson & Pettis wares. Manufacturers
will do well not to overlook them.
Bound West.
A. J. Brooks passed through the city on
Thursday on a Western trip in the interest
of the Sterling and Huntington pianos.
Mr. Brooks reports trade active at the fac-
tories at Derby and Shelton, but there is
always room for more.

Newman Bros. Co., Chicago, 111.
Gentlemen :—The No. 5 piano came in good condition. It
was packed better than any we have received from any other
company. We have seen the pianos of a great many manufac
turers, but never saw a piano case, no matter where made, that
in finish excelled the one just received. It is a beauty and
look at it inside or out, the better the light, the better it shows
up.
Its tone is remarkably brilliant and the touch is light, easy
and responsive ; the delight of all who have tried it.
You have made a decided hit in your No. 5 piano, and it is
certain to be popular. Very truly yours,
