In no more forcible way has the growth of
the piano industry of this country been illus-
trated during the past year than in the mag-
nificent new factories which have been erected
throughout the country, as well as by the ad-
ditions made to many others by leading man-
ufacturers. In no country in the world can
there be found such plants, so admirably
equipped with every modern device, so situ-
ated as to give comfort to the employees and
to produce the most satisfactory results in
the manufacturing way.
For instance, look at the illustration here-
with of the great institution at Chicago
Heights, where the Hamilton pianos and or-
gans are manufactured, and one can note at
a glance how splendidly situated and equipped
it is for producing annually thousands upon
thousands of instruments that have won the
highest appreciation, and of shipping them to
all parts of the country with the utmost de-
spatch..
This enterprise is only a link in the chain
of Baldwin plants which, like those in Cin-
cinnati, have won the approval of the great
authorities of the world, as displayed in min-
iature at the Paris Exposition of 1900, where
the Baldwin house secured for its various
products the Grand Prix, gold and silver
medals, and other testimonials of merit.
