The Gabler new style M, Cabinet Grand,
is a beautiful instrument, elaborately deco-
rated, with hand-carved panels and panel-
sides. It embraces all of the Gabler
patented improvements and is a fit orna-
ment for any drawing or music room. The
Gabler new style B, Baby Grand, now
being made in mahogany and oak, is a
handsome instrument. Like all other
Gabler products, it is the outcome of well-
applied knowledge and experience on the
part of the firm's senior member, Emil
Lindeman Change in Rochester.
The Lindeman piano will hereafter be
represented in Rochester, N. Y., by the
enterprising house of J. W. Martin & Bro.
of which that popular member of the trade,
Geo. Clay Cox, is manager. During the
latter's visit to the city last week he made
a large selection of different styles at the
Lindeman Co. 's factory for immediate ship-
ment. The Lindeman, possessing so many
individual points of merit, particularly in
the region of acoustics and designing, can-
not fail to prove a strong selling factor
with its new representatives.
New England Co.'s Prosperity.
The New England Piano Co., of Boston,
Mass., through their president Thomas F.
Scanlan, announce that a semi-annual
dividend of three per cent, has been
declared on the preferred stock, payable
