ING REVIEW OF THE TRADE

SITUATION:
Louis P. Bach, of Kranich & Bach, dur-
ing a talk with The Review on Thursday
last concerning trade conditions, declared
unhesitatingly that the business done by
the firm during the first eleven months of
•I 900 exceeded that of any similar period
since the establishment of the Kranich &
Bach house thirty-eight years ago. "Our
actual output to supply the demand," said
he, "was as large, if not larger, from Jan-
uary 1 to December 1, 1900, as in any
previous year it aggregated for the entire
twelve months.
Mr. Bach said, when speaking of the
Kranich & Bach parlor grand, that there
has been a steady increase during 1900, in
the call for this instrument, both in plain
and special cases. "It is evident," he re-
marked, in this connection, " that critical
and well-to-do people now favor the small
grand for their homes, in preference to the
uprights.
Oddly enough, however, the in-
creased demand for small grands with us,
has made no perceptible difference in the
sale of the most costly styles in uprights.
This fact to my mind indicates the exist-
ence of prosperity to a very marked degree."
The Kranich & Bach firm have always
prided themselves, and very justly, on the
beauty of their figured veneers. It has
been their good fortune to be able to se-
cure some of the choicest woods in the
market.
This is true to-day, as it has

been at any time these thirty years. The
Review, on Thursday, whilst talking with
Mr. Bach, noted a number of superb cases
on exhibition in the main warerooms.
"One of our greatest recent successes in
veneers," said Mr. Bach, "has been the
Luzon mahogany. We cannot begin to
representatives throughout the country.
Where the Kranich & Bach is handled, as
very often happens, as the leader, results,
under the guidance of vigorous aggressive
dealers, are equivalent to a march of
triumph. "We are fortunate," added Mr.
Bach, " i n having for representatives, in
the great majority of cases, men who fully
recognize the fact that, although the
race is not always to the swift, it is ab-
solutely necessary that every business
concern, must be up and doing if prosper-
ity is earnestly desired."
"Is there anything special on the firm's
program for the corning year, Mr. Bach?"
inquired The Review, when about to leave.
"We have several important matters
under consideration," was the reply, "but
it would not be judicious to speak of them
at this time. I will say, however, that it
will be through no fault of ours if 1901
is not as far ahead of 1900 as the present
year has been in advance of its predeces-
sors."

Our agents, after securing a shipment,
write or wire us, ' Send more, exactly
same as the last.'
This has been the
story since the first Luzon mahogany case
went out, and the demand continues."

whom took the first prize in his particu-
lar line, over all the world's exhibits at
the Paris exposition, and one other, who

the Commercial club at the Queen City
club Saturday night. The speakers were
W. W. Taylor, of Rookwood; Lucien Wul-
sin, of the Baldwin Piano Company; Thos.
P. Egan, of the Fay & Egan Company and
M. E. Ingalls. In a masterly manner the
subjects were handled, most of them deal-
ing with American commerce and its for-
eign relations.
