THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Presto has executed a most commendable
piece of work in the form of an " Export
Edition." It is a volume of 168 pages and
was compiled at the outlay of much time,
expense and labor. It certainly constitutes
a most praiseworthy newspaper enterprise.
J. C. Henderson, manager of the Ann
Arbor Organ Co., has just returned home
from a visit to the South. He speaks most
encouragingly of business in Texas and
made a number of new connections. The
Henderson piano is a popular favorite
down there while the Ann Arbor organs
are much in demand.
August Pallu and his force are kept hard
at work preparing Schwander actions to
fill orders. The call for Schwander grand
and upright actions this season, so far, has
been very satisfactory.
F. A. Winter, the progressive music
dealer of Altoona, Pa., has just completed
a nvimber of important improvements in
the interior of his music store which give
that concern a decided metropolitan air.
At the formal "opening" of the estab-
lishment last Tuesday there was a large
attendance.
"Full force working day and night," is
the report of Mr. Ericsson this week at
the Ludwig factory. The new annex is
being rapidly constructed.

While in Milwaukee, Wis., last week,
the Countess of Hatzfeldt, the popular
singer, became much interested in Joseph
Flanner's recent popular publication, " On
the Road to Mandalay," which was recently
noticed in The Review, and has added this
charming song to her repertoire. She
considers it one of the most effective popu-
lar songs she has seen, and predicts for it
a great success in the vaudeville circuit.
The W. W. Kimball Co. have just got
out a large line of posters on which are
pictured their immense factories at Twen-
ty-sixth and Rockwell streets, Chicago.
These posters, used on the piano boxes,
will serve as a telling advertisement for
this enterprising concern.
The sub-committees appointed by the
Piano Dealers' Association of Philadelphia,
are working on the subjects of a uniform
lease and a black list. Both these matters
will be brought up for consideration at a
meeting of the Association to be held in
the very near future. A uniform price for
tuning pianos may also be considered.
Big shipments are being made from the
Kroeger factory to keep up with orders
sent in by Mr. Couch, now on an extended
tour, and by out-of-town representatives.
The " G. & K." Empire upright, refer-
red to in a recent issue of The Review, is
meeting with great success among dealers.
They are enthusiastic in their commenda-
tion.
Fred. P. Stieff, the well-known piano
manufacturer of Baltimore, was in town
this week.
GRAPHOPHONE.
Behning products, according to this
week's reports, are finding a full share of
public favor. The Behning representatives
on the road are making an excellent record
in the firm's behalf.
J. W. Northrop, manager of the Emerson
Piano Co.'s branch house in Chicago, re-
turned to his desk last week from a pleas-
ant vacation spent at Wisconsin resorts.
Prof. Ellis Brooks, of Chicago, is organ-
izing one of the largest military bands in
the West. There will be one hundred
musicians in the organization, which will
tour the country this fall.
Several important agencies for the Brad-
bury piano were established in Wisconsin
by J. M. Hawxhurst, manager of Free-
born G. Smith's Chicago hoxise during his
recent visit there.
W. W. Kimball, who has been sojourn-
ing during the summer at Beverly Farms,,
Mass., is expected to return to Chicago
about the first week of October.
The Regina Music Box Co., of Railway,,
N. J., is being represented in St. Louis,,
Mo., by C. Bruno & Son, of New York,,
who have opened a branch at 1102 Olive
street.
The Brown, Page & Hillman Co., of
Peoria, 111., are again handling the Stein-
way piano.
Peter Duffy, of the Schubert Co., is
away on a brief Western trip. There is
great activity at the Schubert factory.
Ernest J. Knabe, Jr., was in town Wed-
nesday and Thursday.
Lyon & Healy, the great Chicago dealers in
musical instruments and supplies, 'write:
" F o r several years we have noted an
ever
increasing
public
interest
in . . . .
The Graphophone*
Tnis lias been brought about on the one
hand by reason of the many
delightful
features necessarily inherent in a sound-
reproducing machine, and on the other hand 1
by the great improvements in the machines:
themselves.
The Graphophones which we
now offer to the musical world do not need
the charm of absolute novelty to command
attention.
They have outgrown the expensive experimental
stage incidental
to novelties and to-day challenge
admiration as perfect mechanical productions offered at a wonderfully reasonable price."

This fall and winter there will be a great demand for Graphophones and Gmphophone supplies. The gooas are easily
handled and attract customers. Write to our nearest office for Catalogue M f and for discounts granted dealers.
