THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

The Latest Addition to the "Crown" Factory,
working space has been needed for some
time. There is an unprecedented demand
for the various Crown styles now being
placed on the market. Their attractive-
ness of casing, careful construction and
individual tone quality are winning a con-
stantly increasing legion of admirers.
George P. Bent will close 1900 with a great
record, notwithstanding the temporary in-
terference with business from labor differ-
ences early in the year.
A Review Visitor.

The Review was favored this week by a
call from Robt. Mitchell, who was con-
nected with the Baldwin exhibit at Paris
during the life of the Exposition. Mr.
Mitchell possesses a forceful individuality
which will be felt in the advertising de-
partment of the Baldwin corporation with
which he will now be associated. The
necessity becomes more and more apparent
of devoting special care to the advertising
branch of the piano business and manu-
facturers are now paying more attention
to this than ever before. Advertising to-
day with many of them ranks not as an ex-
pense but as an investment.

the recently completed new north wing to
the immense factory of Geo. P. Bent, Chi-
cago. The dimensions are 82x126 feet.
In other words the building has a frontage
on Sangamon street of eighty-two feet and
126 feet on a large alley. To the rear of
the building will be seen the two dry kilns
which are 20x72 feet each and which are
equipped with every modern convenience
for the treatment and handling of a large
quantity of woods.
This new addition to the Crown factory
will be utilized at once, as the additional
Ludwig & Co. have issued a series of
artistic colored calendars for pocket use.
They are just the right size to fit nicely
into the vest pocket or card-case and are
likely to be appreciated for the purpose
intended. The designs are in gold and
colors, admirably drawn and reproduced.
