Cleveland, O., June 17, 1901.
Walter Hamilton, attorney for the Meckel
Bros. Co., claims that his clients have been
grossly misrepresented in the statements
made by the Produce Exchange Bank, who
recently asked for the appointment of a re-
ceiver.
"The Meckel Bros. Co. are not insolvent
and there is no occasion for bringing the
suit," said Mr. Hamilton. "The company
can pay every dollar they owe and do not
owe the bank any such sum as was claimed
in its petition. The piano company are not
trying to dispose of their assets as was claimed
and the suit was not brought in good faith,
as far as asking for a receiver and an injunc-
tion was concerned. Since filing the suit
the bank has not appeared in court to ask
either for a receiver or an injunction." The
Meckel Bros. Co. are engaged in business as
usual.

EDITOR OF THE REVIEW,
3 East 14th Street, New York.
Frank B. Burns told The Review on
Thursday that he would like to draw the
attention of those interested to the fact that
his new line of goods is now out for the
fall. "I advise dealers," added he, "not to
give their orders until they have ascertained
what 1 have to offer. T have more novelties
to offer than all the rest of the people in
this line in the United States, and if those
in need of my goods care to write, I shall
be glad to send a line of samples on mem-
orandum."
Mr. Burns mentioned that he also has
$10,000 worth of old styles to sell at fifty
cents on the dollar. Several of the Burns
salesmen are on the road and doing well.
William Winter, of Winter & Co., 458-
460 East 144th street, asked by The
Review on Wednesday to outline the policy
and program of the firm recently formed,
said: "It is our intention to make two
grades of pianos. One, of high grade, will
be known as the 'Winter & Co.' piano; the
second, medium grade, will retain the name
'Heller & Co.'
"It will be the aim of the firm members
to raise the standard of production for the
'Heller & Co.' piano to a higher plane than
that on which it now stands, although it has
already won many friends. We shall al-
ways bear in mind that the dealer of to-day
requires not only a piano reflecting credit
on him in the matter of durability and tone,
but an instrument that will sell readily and
give him a living profit.
,
"Probably in the near future I will start
out on a business trip in the firm's interests,
visiting the dealers in many cities."
The Weaver Organ & Piano Co. are mak-
ing some large shipments of organs to Aus-
tralia and New Zealand. Last week they
shipped six to Melbourne. European trade
is also brisk.
The annuoncement elsewhere in The Re-
view of the sale of the Megaphono-Harp
patents, should interest manufacturers of
small goods and novelties.
