vigorously those who use their goods.
The Strauch name is a valuable one in
the piano field. It represents intrinsic values,
and must be protected as loyally and as un-
ceasingly as the national currency; because
in material, workmanship and finish, the
name Strauch on an action represents an
artistic ideal that is appreciated by manu-
facturers making instruments with a simi-
lar aim in view.
It is gratifying to note that the great busi-
ness transacted by Strauch Bros, since the
birth of the year, and right through the sum-
mer, promises, from the present outlook, to
be of still larger volume during the fall
months—in fact, it would now seem as if
all records would be broken. This reward
is merited.
The illustration herewith will afford
some idea of the tasteful architecture of
the Kingsbury, while the testimonials from
purchasers, piano tuners, teachers and deal-
ers, which can be furnished by the manu-
facturers, or seen in their latest catalogue,
afford substantial testimony as to the con-
struction and tone embodied in these instru-
ments. In the "prefatory"of the Kingsbury
catalogue, recently published, the following

Messrs. Williams & Barnett, Lynchburg, Va.
Replying to yours, relative to Harmonist,
beg to say that we have been handling this
self-play ing device for some time, and find
it to be a very good attachment; in fact,
we believe it to be the best on the market.
We advise you to secure the agency, and
regret that our territory does not include
your town, therefore refer you to the makers,
the Peerless Piano-Player Co., Roth & En-
gelhardt, proprietors.
