THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The committee on buildings of the
Board of Education of the City of New
York, have advertised within the past
week that they will receive sealed propos-
als from manufacturers up to Monday
next, Oct. 17th, at their office, 585 Broad-
way, for supplying pianos for schools in
the borough of Brooklyn.
Several important sales have been made
this week at the Sohmer warerooms, in
addition to the usual call for uprights.
The demand for small Sohmer grands con-
tinues. In the wholesale department there
is great activity.
O. C. Klock left on Wednesday for a
trip through Pennsylvania in the interest
of the Keller Bros, pianos. His tour of
New York State last week was in every
way successful. Orders for Keller Bros,
pianos are now reaching the New York
office from widely separated parts of the
country.
Printers' Ink compliments the /Eolian
Co. in this wise in its latest issue. "If
you want to read an unhackneyed maga-
zine advertisement examine the announce-
ment of the ^-Eolian Co. in the current
Century."
There is no lack of activity at the Weser
factory. This progressive firm is keeping
well in line with the most prosperous of
their competitors.
"Working day and night" is the report
this week at the A. B. Cameron factory.
Mr. Cameron starts off again for a two-
weeks' tour on Monday.
Wm. Knabe left Baltimore on Thursday
last for an extended trip through the West
and Southwest in the Knabe interests.
Louis Heusner, of Findlay, O., has taken
the agency for the pianos and harps made
by the Erd Piano & Harp Co., of Saginaw,
Mich.
Jacob Franklin, of the Jersey City
branch of the Wissner house, was married
on Sunday last, Miss Hannah Plant, of
Brooklyn being the bride.
Adolph, and not Joseph, Ferner is the
patentee of the piano action No. 610,963
referred to in the last issue of The Review.
The stock of goods contained in the
store of Thomas & Barton, Augusta, Ga.,
was sold by order of Receiver W. H. Bar-
rett on Monday last.
The B. Shoninger Co.
Joseph Shoninger, who has just returned
from a visit to Chicago, when asked by The
Review yesterday as to existing Western
trade conditions said: " I found signs of
prosperity at every turn. In every branch
of commerce in the West there's healthy
activity.
" In conversation with a member of one
of the biggest and most prosperous mu-
sical instrument firms in the West just
before I left Chicago, he said that August
and September of this year had given
better results than in any year since their
business was established. This is true of
many other Western firms."
Paul Q. riehlin & Sons.
Too Busy to Talk.
Indications of increasing prosperity are'
well in evidence at the Mehlin warerooms
and factory. The merits of the Mehlin
products are unquestionable, and the large
class of piano purchasers who are keenly
critical find in the Mehlin grands and up-
rights a very near approach to their ideas
of perfection in tone, style and construc-
tion.
When The Review called at the Pease
factory on Thursday there were out-of-
town dealers transacting business in the
office and retail customers selecting pianos
in the warerooms. Asked for the news,
John D. Pease replied, good-humoredly:
" Too busy to talk just now. The place is
full of customers."
On Tuesday and Wednesday next, Chi-
cago will celebrate the conclusion of the
war by a peace jubilee which will bring
together an enormous assemblage of
people.
J. H. Barney, Jr. & Co., of Newport,

ment to their business.
