The piano dealers of Buffalo, N. Y v are
much concerned over the possible opening of
a piano department by J. N. Adam & Co.,
who conduct a large department store in
that city. It is rumored that some Western
pianos will be handled by this, or some other
department store in that city in the near fu-
