'Seven Wonders of the World?' Gone.
Aye, and gone with them millions of art
works, by myriads of workers in countless
ages—men now nameless, but once full of
honor, and whose work was and is placed
in the existing category of the arts.
"Acting may be evanescent, it may work
in the media of common nature; it may be
mimetic like the other arts; it may not create
any more than does the astronomer or the
naturalist, but it can live and can add to the
sum of human knowledge in the ever vary-
ing study of man's nature by man, and its
work ca.n, like the six out of seven wonders
of the world, exist as a great memory."
SOLD 1,200 STERLING PIANOS.
Speaking of the Sterling Piano Co.'s new
building at Fulton and Hanover streets,
Brooklyn, and which was illustrated two
weeks ago in The Review, the Tribune says:
"It is one of the handsomest stores and
warehouses of its size in Brooklyn. From the
time the contract was made for the purchase
of the site, then known as the Bank, a his-
toric landmark, down to the time when the
last bit of decoration was placed in the build-
ing, the controlling spirit of the enterprise
was W. S. Denslow, the president and gen-
eral manager of the Sterling Piano Co. A
description of the building would fail to give
an idea of its beauty and usefulness, such as
a visit to Fulton street and Hanover Place
would give. It is five stories high, built in
the prevailing style of architecture, and is
attractive from all points of view.
"While the Sterling Piano Co. has been
fory-one years in existence, it is only five
years since it came to Brooklyn, apparently
unheralded.
"Since that time there has been sold by the
company 12,000 pianos. The average sales
during the season have been from twelve to
twenty pianos daily. They have even ex-
ceeded the latter figures on some occasions.
While the company attributes its success to
the high quality of its piano and its Sterling
methods of conducting its business, its many
employees are entitled to much credit.
"The company's delivery system is well
planned. There are four large padded vans
built especially for the carting of pianos. The
Sterling vans, with their uniform carmen,
are familiar sights on the streets of Brook-
lyn."
PROGRESSIVE HOUSTON.
In the souvenir of the City of Houston,
Tex., for 1901-2 just issued, some very flat-
tering words appear regarding the enterprise
of the H. C. Sherrod Piano Co., who handle
the Weber, Sohmer, Steck, Crown, Ivers &
Pond, Lester and Wheelock pianos, and the
Angelus piano-player in that city. The vol-
ume is a beautifully illustrated one and con-
veys a most convincing impression regarding
the importance and development of this en-
terprising city of the South.
The many friends of A. C. Cox, chief of
the retail sales department at Steinway Hall,
are rejoicing that he is once more with them.
Mr. Cox had been quite ill but is fast regain-
ing his old-time strength.
