town Tuesday on his homeward trip from
the Pacific Coast. He speaks enthusiasti-
cally about conditions out that way and of
the demand for Vose pianos.
The announcement from the Cable Co.
which appears on this page and issued on
Monday explains itself. It is the consum-
mation of the plans which I pointed out
were in contemplation when I wrote last
week. The meeting of the directors of
the Chicago Cottage Organ Co. occurred
on Monday when formal action on chang-
ing the name to The Cable Co. took place.
The latter now control, own and will oper-
ate the business heretofore known as the
Chicago Cottage Organ Co. The officers
of the Cable Co. are: Fayette S. Cable,
president; Hobert M. Cable, vice-presi-
dent; W. B. Price, secretary and H. L.
Draper, treasurer. In associating the
name Cable with their business they have
made a move, the value of which is at
once apparent. Both retail and wholesale
departments of the business will in future
be controlled by the Cable Co., and the
name of the active forces back of this in-
stitution will be identified with the insti-
tution. This is as it should be. Under
its new title, this concern will eclipse its
former glorious record and plans are under
way to this end. The same energetic
methods and wise policy will be adhered
to, and with the same successful results.
The annual meeting of the Clayton F.
Summy Co. occurred on Tuesday and was
attended by C. H. W. Foster, president of
Chickering & Sons. Mr. Summy is now
vice-president and treasurer of the corpor-
ation and Arthur Bissell secretary.
The special sale of Hallet & Davis pianos
which is being carried on by the W. W.
Kimball Co. is proving a tremendously
successful one, and the sales of instruments
have been large.
J. V. Steger, of Steger & Co., has been
making a trip through the Northwest and
visiting agents in that section.
Edwin S. Conway accompanied by Mrs.
Conway and daughter, left town Tuesday on
a trip South, where Mr. Conway will prob-
ably combine business and pleasure, for

while he leaves obstensibly on a pleasure
jaunt to obtain alittle respite from business,
yet those of us who know that distinguished
gentleman, know that he can never lay
down business cares for long at one
time. Depend upon it, a number of Kim-
ball agents will have the pleasure of view-
ing Brother Conway and six feet of vital-
izing manhood ere he strides up Wabash
avenue again.
Augustus Baus, of Augustus Baus & Co.
of New York, halted here Tuesday while
on his way further West.
J. M. Hawxhurst, manager of Freeborn
G. Smith's Chicago interests, is confined
to his residence through illness.
Apart from the astonishing musical prop-
erties of the Hymnolia, this unique instru-
ment is in every way adapted to receive,
externally, a great variety of artistic treat-
ments, and accordingly, is capable of being
made a truly beautiful feature in the salon,
music room, ball-room, studio, yacht, or
any other of the numerous places for which
high art productions are desired. Hymno-
REVIEWLETS.
The report for the week at the Behr
Bros, factory indicates that there is no
cessation in the demand for the excellent
instruments which they manufacture. Mr.
Brown, the Behr traveler, reached home
on Wednesday from a two-months' trip.
He made a good record.
A magnificent display of Mason & Ham-
lin, Krell and Crawford pianos is being
made in the windows of D. Crawford &
Co., St. Louis, Mo. They advertise the
Mason & Hamlin piano at $450; the Krell
piano, style J, in mahogany, at $450; the
Mason & Hamlin piano, Puritan style,
$450, and the Crawford piano, $250. Deal-
ers who complain about department store
competition should note these figures. It
is only necessary to journey through De-
troit's piano district to notice pianos in the
windows advertised at all kinds of prices
from $125 up. These facts need little com-
ment. Meanwhile, it is always well to put
one's own house in order before endeavor-
ing to do it for a neighbor.
E. N. Kimball, of the Hallet & Davis
Co., Boston, is recovering from a severe
attack of the grip.
The partnership of Danielson & Strand,
music dealers, St. Peter, Minn., has been
dissolved.
The firm of Hutchins & Hart have been
dissolved; J. B. Hutchins succeeding.
THE TRADE. ..
We beg to notify you that we have this day changed the name of
the Chicago Cottage Organ Co. to that of "The Cabk Company/'
This has been done in order that we may transact our wholesale
and retail business under one name. There will be no difference in the
manner of transacting our business, and it will be under the same man-
agement as heretofore.
Thanking you for your liberal patronage in the past, and asking
for a continuance of same under the new name, we are,
Yours very truly,
THE CABLE COMPANY.

lia art-cases are designed in all styles of
architecture, receiving from the simplest
to the most elaborate ornamentations.
The value of the Hymnolia in concerted
music when used with stringed instruments
cannot be over-estimated. In the ball-room
of the palatial Hotel Savoy, New York, it
has been most satisfactorily used in com-
bination with the harp—an instrument pe-
culiarly adapted for association with the
organ.
To encourage the association of the
Hymnolia with the pianoforte (the stand-
ard domestic musical instrument), particu-
larly in the homes of wealthy lovers of
music, Frank Taft, the manufacturer, is
prepared to furnish designs for the piano-
forte in strict accord with the case of the
organ. Beautiful effects can be obtained
by the special and corresponding artistic
treatments of both the instruments (for
which there is a wealth of musical litera-
ture published), when they are placed in
the same room.
The Hymnolia ushers in a new era in
domestic musical instruments. The offices
and warerooms are at 130 Fifth avenue,
New York.
It is announced that George Jardine &
Son, the well-known church organ builders
of this city, have entirely closed out their
business and have disposed of their tuning
list to the Geo. S. Hutchins Co., of Bos-
ton. The many deaths in the family with-
in a recent period has contributed to this
situation of affairs.
