THE mXJSlG TRMDE
CABLE, 1902.
On Monday last the officers of the Cable
Co., Chicago, were, as expected, re-elected,
and the policy of the company, which under
the capable presidency of Fayette S. Cable,
has resulted in this institution becoming a
world power, so to speak, will continue along
the same evolutionary lines that have charac-
terized the history of
this house in the past.
Mr. Cable, as well as
the able staff of officers
associated with him, are
distinguished for their
thorough mastery of the
commercial movements
of the day. Each and
all of them are actuated
by loyalty and enthusi-
asm in connection with
the development of the
Cable business that have
commanded the confi-
dence and admiration of
the best critics in the fin-
ancial and trade worlds.
Few men are better
equipped than Fayette
S. Cable for the respon-
sible position which he
holds. He has been iden-
tified practically with
every department of the
business, and he has left
an impress on each of
honor and success. To-
day, as in the past, he
takes a keen, active inter-
est in the practical side
of the great business that
bears his name, with the
result that in the pianos
and organs which are being turned out by
this institution there are evident the same
characteristics of progress so marked in the
other departments of the Cable Co.
Mr. Cable is not prone, however, to take
WANAMAKERT^
credit for what has been accomplished, but
rather concedes the tremendous expansion
of this business to the labors of the splen-
did organization composed of loyal and tire-
less workers who have joined with him in
making the Cable Co. a greater force year
after year in the piano and organ world.
The administration of the Cable Co. dur-
ing the year recently closed has been most
TO RESTRAIN SCHOOL BOARD.
Knabe & Co. Want Piano Contract
to Them.
Awarded
[Special to The Review.]
Baltimore, Md., Jan 20, 1902.
William Knabe & Co., piano manufactur-
ers, by Niles & Wolff, their attorneys, filed
a bill in the Circuit Court to-day asking that
an injunction be issued restraining the
Mayor and City Council and the Board of.
School Commissioners from awarding the
contract for pianos to the Stieff Piano Co.
or to Messrs. Sanders & Stayman.
The petitioners allege in their bill that
they were the lowest bidders on the con-
tract to furnish the twenty-five pianos adver-
tised for by the defendants, and that the pia-
nos which they offered to supply were better
in quality than those offered by other build-
ers. They charge that the committee from
the School Board only examined two of the
instruments which they offered, and in fact
were not empowered to pass judgment, as
the contract could only be awarded by the
School Board and not by a committee.
A LITTLE ROCK INCORPORATION.
[Special to The Review.]
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 20, 1902.
Articles of incorporation for the Camden
Music & Machine Co. were filed last week
with Secretary of State and County Clerk
of Ouachita County. The incorporators are
J. T. Xorrid, Ed and Marion Brown, all of
this place.

successful, and it is a source of satisfaction
that the men who have helped to make this
great record will continue at the helm, let us
hope, for many jears to come. It is a rec-
ognition of merit that is eminently pleasing.
Just recently, the Wilcox & White Co. have,
after the successful selling of the Angelus,
done by Wanamaker's previously, closed their
salesrooms, and transferred to us, not only
the selling of the Angelus piano-players, and
the Symphony self-playing organs, but also
the Angelus library, which furnishes almost
limitless repertoire to possessors of an An-
gelus or Symphony, at a small annual cost.
We shall have much more to say later about
these newcomers—for the present we merely
announce their arrival, and suggest the con-
stant growth of the Wanamaker Piano Store,
and the vast assembly of the world's best
musical instruments that are represented here.
The Chickering pianos are again in full
supply.
We also have new supplies of Vose and
Crown pianos, as well as the J. C. Campbell
pianos at $180, and the Frederick Doll pia-
nos at $185.
The following is an example of Wana-
maker advertising which appeared in last Sat-
urday's local papers. It occupied a space
eight by five inches:

VOCALION
Three notable musical institutions on Fifth
avenue have, within the past two years, closed
up their New York salesrooms, and arranged
for the selling of their instruments by the
Wanamaker Store in New York and vicin-
ity.
First, Chickering & Sons joined the alli-
ance which has proved profitable to manu-
facturers, as well as to the piano-buying pub-
lic.
Then the Vocalion Organ Co. transferred
the selling of their matchless organs, in New
York and the vicinity, to Wanamaker's; and

tive position with the Heine Piano Co. In
his three years' residence in Burlington Mr.
Hendricks has formed a large acquaintance
who regret his departure.
BEAUTIFUL LINDEMAN EXHIBIT.
The exhibit now on view at the ware-
rooms of the Lindeman & Sons Piano Co.,
548-550 West Twenty-third street, including
examples in several plain and fancy woods
of every leading style of the Lindeman &
So;is piano, is well worthy of inspection.
T^he Lindeman & Sons products of 1902 are
truly representative of what can be accom-

stantly guided by the highest ideals in the
construction of their instruments.
