REV1EWLETS.
The Bureau of Foreign Commerce has
received a letter from Emil Rothstein, of
Rostov on Don, dated Oct. 21, 1900, re-
questing the names of manufacturers of
Graphophones, phonographs and gramo-
phones. Mr. Rothstein wishes to deal di-
rect with American firms. The telegraphic
address given is, Rothstein, Rostovdon.
The Estey piano factory, Lincoln ave-
nue and Southern Boulevard, as shown in
the illustration, is one of Harlem's land-
marks. It now has a frontage of 200 feet
on the Boulevard, 100 feet having been ad-
ded in 1890 to provide facilities for in-
creasing business. The frontage on Lin-
coln avenue is 100 feet.
At the present time every part of this
big structure is a scene of prosperous ac-

Proud of the Shoninger.
J. C. Lawrence, Shoninger representa-
tive at Sag Harbor, Long Island, was in
town this week. When speaking with The
Review yesterday, he said: " I am proud
to handle the Shoninger. The people in
my locality know the Shoninger products
well and appreciate them highly."
A Hasse Offering.
The Review, when calling at the Hasse
warerooms on Thursday, noted that the
Hasse stock in all departments showed to
excellent advantage. The array of stools
and cabinets included many entirely new
and novel effects. This was true aho of
the scarf stock. One very attractive and
commendable feature at the Hasse ware-
rooms is the splendid condition in which
the stock is always kept. There is a
"spick-and-span" appearance throughout
that speaks well for Mr. Hasse's business
enterprise and methods.
Asked if he wished to draw attention
this week to any special feature, Mr. Hasse
said: "You might tell the trade that I
have just received a brand-new supply of
beautiful designs in piano scarfs, velours
and brocatelles. Those who have pur-
chases in mind are cordially invited to in-
spect the stock. I shall be glad, as usual,
to send samples prepaid. I do not hesi-
tate to say that it will be well worth while
to call and see me or write. Business con-
ditions are satisfactory."

pianos shown in their new catalogue just

ments are winning such a high degree of
favor in the trade. They are substantially

instrument at a reasonable price. The
