The good old reliable Steck piano which
has such a hold on the affections of the pur-
chasing public as well as a wide representa-
tion in the leading institutions, educational,
religious, and otherwise, in this glorious
country of ours continues to be praised and
admired wherever used. Geo. Steck & Co.
of this city, are in receipt of letters week after
week in which the merits of the Steck are
referred to in terms of the highest praise.
Among those recently received was one from
the North Carolina Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb and Blind. It is as follows:

Messrs. Geo. Steck & Co., New York.
Gentlemen:—It affords me special pleasure to bear
testimony to the exceeding high merit of the S'eck
piano recently purchased of you. Our musical di-
rector, all our music teachers, and our tuners and
repairers have given the instrument a most thorough
and critical examination, and are unanimous in their
verdict of its excellence.
Officers, teachers and pupils are thoroughly de-
lighted with its mechanism, its power, its sweetness
of tone, its beauty of finish.
In th£ recent contest before our committee ap-
pointed to select pianos, in the midst of a large num-
ber of instruments presented, the Steck stands un-
surpassed.
Yours sincerely,
John E. Ray, Principal.
The new factory warerooms of the Ma-

The New England Piano Co., Boston, are
building up a fine trade for their instruments
in Canada. There are substantial indica-
tions that New England trade in the Domi-
nion will be largely augmented in the
near future.

GRAPHOPHONE requires no skilled performer to play
it, and yet it will furnish any kind of music desired. It is vastly
superior to other so-called talking machines, because on the

or story, to be instantly reproduced. Its performances are not
confined to the reproduction of specially prepared and stereotyped
subjects. It is fascinating and marvelous as an entertainer
