piano.
"Kept Hard at It."
'' Nothing much to be said in the way of
news this week," said Mr. Ericsson to
The Review, at the Ludwig factory on
Wednesday. "We are kept hard at it all
the time, filling actual orders. That is
not news to us, for we are used to it.
And, so far as can be seen at present, this
satisfactory condition will continue for an
indefinite period."
Stieff Picnic.
Fully 10,000 persons attended the annual
picnic of the employees of the Charles M.
Stieff Piano Manufactory last Monday, at

Thos. LaM. Couch.
Mr. Thos. La M. Couch, of the Kroeger
Co., has just returned from a brief tour in
behalf of the ' 'G. & K." He says its growth
in public estimation within the past twelve
months is marvelous, and predicts a big
fall trade in both grands and uprights.
Mr. Couch has met with remarkable suc-
cess during his several tours in behalf of
the firm. His personality has doubtless
been influential in new territory, but,
speaking of the merits of the instrument,
he declares that once the "G. & K." gets a
fair representation in any town, its prog-
ress thenceforth is assured.
Pianos in Kansas.
Reports of the taxable personal property
have been received by State Auditor
Morris, from the county clerks of the 105
counties of Kansas. We notice in the re-
ports that Seward County has a piano for.
every. $10,000 of its taxable personal prop-
erty. In Haskell County there is not a
piano or musical instrument. What a re-
flection, by the way, on the piano men of
that locality.
Clark County has as many pianos as it
has other musical instruments, eighteen
of each.
The detailed reports, which would be
out of place here, present some surprising
aggregates as well as show a strange di-
versity of taxable personal property.
The appointment of Ferdinand W. Peck,
of Chicago, as Commissioner-General to
the Paris Exhibition has been received
with considerable satisfaction by the com-
mercial and artistic world. He is splen-
didly equipped by training and experience
for the position and in his hands American
interests will be perfectly safe.
In warerooms, in factories—wherever
The Review has visited this week the most
hopeful expressions have been heard re-
garding fall trade. One and all agree
that in face of the facts now in possession
of the public, nothing else can be expected.
Wm. Knabe, of Wm. Knabe & Co., was
a visitor to Chicago during the past week.
