LOOK AND LI5TEN.
Yes,
look at it and see an organ artistically made of the best
materials and with the greatest skill of the most experienced work-
men.
Look it all over, from pedals ^ — • , to music rack, and
it's just the same. ^ —

MILLS AND OFFICE:
A Piano Trolley.
A simple and inexpensive bogie, trolley,
or like support for a piano, specially ad-
apted for use in schools in which pianos
are frequently moved about in class-rooms,
or from one room to another, recently has
been patented in England by James Fer-
rier, music dealer of Dunfermline, Fife,
vScotland. This improved bogie or piano
support, according to our London contem-
porary Music Trade Review, is composed
of a flat wooden or other frame, approxi-
mating in form to the under side of the
piano to which it is applied, the said frame
being fitted with two wheels on fixed
axles at either end, an,d with two central
wheels on pivots. The wheels at the mid-
part of the frame are of larger diameter
or are lower than those at the ends, so
that the piano when placed or secured
upon the frame may slightly rock, and
they are so pivoted that they will turn in
any line to suit the direction in which the
piano may be removed. When the piano
is moved endwise it rests on either pair of
the end wheels and on the central wheel;
but when moved backward or forwards, or
at any angle, the piano is balanced on the
central pivoted wheels, and it is then
easily run over the floor. When placed in
any position for use the piano is steadied
by inserting wedges under the end of the
frame or under the smaller wheels.

way, Estey, Emerson and Smith & Barnes

dered necessary owitf|f to the growth of his
