In connection with the appearance in San
Francisco last week of Kocian and Miss Julie
Geyer, Clark, Wise & Co., of that city, made

the Weber exclusively.

are advertising extensively in the local pa-
pers.
Smith, Heminway & Co., manufacturers
of the Acme ball-bearing castor and a stand-
ard piano wire cutter, are preparing their

tain much useful information to those con-
cerned, and will exceed in size any previous
effort in this line.
The Sohmer piano factory occupies eight
large lots, situated a short distance from the

the most perfect piano plant in the United
States.

for himself as a manufacturer, and more re-
cently employed as superintendent of the H.

home, 55 East Eighty-eighth street, on Mon-
day of last week. The deceased was only
thirty-seven years old, and is survived by a
wife and daughter.
The Henry F. Miller & Sons Piano Co., of
Boston, intend to have recourse to legal ac-
tion to prevent the use of a name similar to
theirs being used on the fall board of pianos
by some manufacturer in Chicago or the Mid-
dle West.
H. C. Osterberg, previously superintendent
of the Wegman Piano Co., and the Pease
Piano Co., has been appointed mechanical
superintendent of the H. Kleber & Bro. Co.'s
factory in this city succeeding James Ritt,
who died recently.
Osman Robinson, of Newark, N. Y., is
having an excellent trade these days, the de-
mand being active for the Gabler and Weg-
man pianos.
E. H. Sothern, the well-known actor, makes
his appearance as a poet in Scribner's for

osophic.
