THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Everett Piano Warranty.
Plant to be Rebuilt.
Schiller Piano Factory Burned.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE EVERETT PIANO
CO. OF THE GUARANTEE FOR A LIFE-
TIME CREATES MUCH NOTICE.
ONLY TEN VOTED AGAINST THE LOAN TO
DOHERTY & CO.
FACTORY AND MATERIAL COMPLETELY
CLEANED OUT LOSS $35,OOO, INSUR-
ANCE $ 2 3 , 0 0 0 .
The announcement a short time since by
the Everett Piano Co. that every piano here-
after made by them would be guaranteed
throughout the entire lifetime of the instru-
ment has compelled considerable notice.
It was a new and bold departure from the
conventional, and demonstrated clearly and
forcibly the faith which the Everett Piano
Co. have in their instruments.
Knowing how the Everett pianos are made,
of what they are made—in fact their intrinsic
merits, musically and architecturally—they
took this forward step in the matter of war-
ranty after due consideration of the various
phases of the situation.
Those dealers and musicians who have ex-
amined the new scale Everett pianos can
understand fully why the makers resolved on
such a broad declaration.
Much interest has been evinced in the form
which this warranty would take, and we take
pleasure in reproducing the text:
Clinton, Ont., March 21, 1898.
The Clinton citizens voted last Tuesday on
the proposed loan to W. Doherty & Co., or-
gan manufacturers, who were burned out on
February 1st, and were almost unanimous in
expressing their approval of it. There are
about 475 available votes in the town; 457 of
these were for the loan, and only 10 against
it. The loan is $25,000, for twenty years,
without interest.
After the result of the vote was announced
a large crowd assembled around the Doherty
office and greeted Mr. Doherty with three
hearty cheers. Mr. Doherty, in a very neat
speech, thanked the Mayor, Council and citi-
zens generally for their loyal support and ap-
preciation of himself and the factory, and
assured them that no time would be lost in
getting the factory rebuilt and in running
order.
Work wiU commence at once on the new
factory, which will be built near the G. T. R.
tracks. It will have accommodation for 250
employes and a capacity for turning out 500
organs a month.

THE EVERETT PIANO COriPANY,
Of Boston, Mass., U. S. A.
We hereby guarantee Everett Piano No.
— to be scientifically made of the best ma-
terial, and we fully warrant this piano
(ordinary wear, and the below named con-
ditions excepted) for an unlimited period of
time. We do not guarantee against var-
nish checking; extreme or sudden varia-
tions in temperature are usually the cause
of this defect. We do not guarantee against
results of exposure to dampness. The
presence of rust on the metal parts of a
piano is absolute proof that the piano has
been affected by dampness, in such event
we will not be responsible for damage re-
sulting therefrom to either the interior or
exterior of the piano.
Should any defect occur not the result of
neglect nor improper use, nor exposure, we
agree to either satisfactorily repair the
piano at our factory or replace it with a
new piano of the same make and similar
style.

Appraisers Still Worrying.
Whether certain musical instruments, so-
called, are to be considered as such under the
present tariff and dutiable at forty-five per
cent, ad valorem, or whether they are toys and
therefore dutiable at thirty-five per cent., was
the main point discussed last Saturday at the
special hearing before the Classification Board
of the General Appraisers. A large variety
of instruments was. exhibited and their uses
explained.
Will Not Remove.
In a letter to the Bridgeport, Conn., Board
of Trade, the Bridgeport Organ Co. deny
having had correspondence with the Board of
Trade of Meriden with the idea of a removal
of the plant of the company to that place.
With such an unequivocal warranty, the
purchaser is, if ordinary care is taken, as-
sured of a piano for a lifetime.
And what stronger point is needed for the
dealer handling the Everett?
It is but natural that the move made by the
Everett Piano Co. in this matter should have
occasioned unusual comment. It marks an
epoch in the matter of piano warranties.

Baltimore, Md., March 21, 1898.
Joseph Barnolak, who was arrested in Chi-
cago on a charge of the embezzlement of
$700 from the U. S. Zither & Guitar Co.,
211 St. Paul street, has been brought back
on requisition papers on an indictment by the
Grand Jury.
Barnolak claims that, as manager of the
company, he opened branches in Hagerstown,
Frederick and other places, and the money
he is charged with embezzling was used to
run those branches. He is well known in
East Baltimore as a Polish interpreter, and at
one time edited a Polish paper.

The Schiller Piano factory was discovered
on fire yesterday, and in less than an hour
the entire structure with its contents was
consumed. The fire originated in the dry
kiln of the factory, and it was never once
under control from the start. Some surround-
ing buildings were also eaten up by the fire.
The loss is estimated at about $35,000 with
an insurance of $23,000.
F. G. Jones, president of the company,
says that it is the intention of the firm to at
once procure manufacturing quarters. They
may eventually rebuild or perhaps seek a new
location. The company have not exactly
made up their minds in this matter, and will
not take definite steps until the insurance is
adjusted.
The present officers of the company are:
F. G. Jones, president; C. D. Etnyre, vice-
president; Geo. H. Jones, secretary and
treasurer. The concern at the time of the
fire were quite busy. They manufacture the
"Schiller" and "Waverly" pianos.
The
offices and warerooms are at 24 Adams street,
Chicago.
No musical talent on the part of the
performer is required. A child that
has never before seen a piano can, with
the aid of the ANGELUS ORQHKS-
TRAL, render the most difficult com-
ositions in a manner possible to only
le most accomplished and practised
of pianists. Contains (in addition to
the piano-playing mechanism) two f u 11
sets of organ reeda, which may be
played separately or in company with
the piano.
