THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
. . . IN THE HARLEM DISTRICT
The Krakauer report for the week shows
a steady onward movement. The large
warerooms in the main Krakauer factory
building on 126th street, set apart nearly a
year ago for the purposes of a choice ex-
hibit showing Krakauer styles in ordinary
and special cases, still remains unoccupied
owing to the ceaseless demand for instru-
ments.
It is found to be practically impossible
at present to accumulate a sufficient num-
ber of Krakrauer pianos for any other pur-
pose than that of immediate shipment, not-
withstanding the employment of a large
force in both factories.
*
* *
Strich & Zeidler have received many fav-
orable endorsements of their skill and en-
terprise as shown in the special instru-
ment recently pictured in The Review.
Had any doubt existed in the trade as to
the high standing of both members of this
firm in the matter of technical knowledge
and executive ability as piano manufactur-
ers, their latest venture would have effect-
ually silenced it. But with the enviable
reputation they have enjoyed from the
start, it is easy to understand why con-
gratulations are extended on the comple-
tion of the "Strich & Zeidler Work of Art."

The Review called at the factory of Kel-
ler & Sons on Wednesday and learned from
Mr. Keller that he has no difficulty what-
ever in disposing of the Keller products just

as fast as they can be completed. Several
good examples of the latest Keller styles,
in different stages of construction, were on
view. They presented a clear-cut appear-
ance and ample evidence of conscientious
work throughout.

Henry Lindeman, whose new venture,
the "Victoria" Piano, was recently an-
nounced in The Review, is one of the
happiest men in the trade. His old friends
have rallied around him, extending con-
gratulations and writing letters of encour-
agement. What is more to the purpose,
they are sending in orders. The future of
the " Victoria" is already assured.

At the Kroeger factory on Wednesday,
The Review found a small army of men
and much modern piano-making machin-
ery working at high pressure to meet ur-
gent calls from out-of-town Kroeger rep-
resentatives. Thos. La M. Couch, the sec-
retary, now "on the road," is adding to the
general demand by sending in big orders,
nearly all for immediate shipment.

The new Spielmann factory is now in
proper working order, and the weekly out-
put is large. W. J. Weiersbach, of the

Henry Spies, of the Spies Piano Co., is
the picture of good health in these days,
and is in excellent spirits. There are sev-
eral reasons for this, not the least of them
being the satisfactory development of
"Majestic" business.
The Review has frequently said that the
"Majestic' 1 would win a place for itself
among trustworthy instruments wherever
properly introduced and handled. This
has proved to be true. It has won a place,
and the Spies Co., evidently intend that it
shall retain the reputation thus gained,
strictly on merits.

Milton pianos have evidently won the
good opinion of the shrewdest and best in-
formed among those who handle instru-
ments calculated to do them credit. Deal-
ers generally, judging from their orders
and commendations, find that the Milton
comes fully up to their expectations and
meets the wants of many patrons who ap-
preciate good value.
