HENRY F. MILLER & SONS CO.'S LATEST-A "PYROGRAPHY DESIGN."
FROMJTHE AEOLIAN CO.
After April 1, All Instruments Manufactured
and Sold by the Aeolian Co. and Its Agents
Must Be Sold for Use Only With the Attach-
ments and Attachments and Music Rolls
Which They Manufacture.
The Aeolian Company finds that Various at-
tachments and particularly its music rolls for
use with its Pianolas, Pianola pianos, Aeolians
and Aeolian orchestrelles are being imitated by
unlicensed parties, and being offered to its pa-
trons as Leing suitable for use with these instru-
ments. In some instances patrons are even told
that music rolls of spurious manufacture are
exact copies of the Aeolian Company's music
rolls, whereas, as a mater of fact, these so-called
copies are full of defects and errors and the music
produced thereby is eminently unsatisfactory.
The playing of the Aeolian Company's instru-
ments by such defective rolls not only tends to
give dissatisfaction to the purchaser but also
affects ihe high standard of its instruments and
music rolls. The company therefore has decided
to protect itself and its patrons by requiring that
its instruments shall not be used with such im-
proper and defective attachments, nor with music
rolls manufactured by other parties.
After the first of April, all the instruments
manufactured and sold by the Aeolian Company
or its agents will be sold for use only with the

OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS.
The Hampden County Music Trade Associa-
tion, through its executive committee (G. A.
Sharp, of Westfield, and A. H. Taylor and W. C.
Taylor, of Springfield), have issued the follow-
ing notice to their fellow dealers of Massachu-
setts :
"Springfield, Mass., March 22, 1905.
"Dear Sir:—Last year the Hampden County
Music Dealers Association wrote all dealers in
Massachusetts, setting forth the benefits of a
State association, if one was formed, and asking
them if they would join such an association. A
large number of letters were received, and the
local association feels that the time is ripe to
take the step and appoint a time for the dealers
to meet and talk the matter over, and to form a
State association and elect officers. The ben-
efits are so great that we cannot, in a letter, set
them all before you, and we hope that you will
make an effort to be present at the meeting,
which will be held at Young's Hotel, Boston,
Monday, April 3, at two o'clock. It means money
in your pocket to be there. Kindly let the com-
mittee know on the enclosed postal card if you
intend to be present, so they may know how
many to provide for at the hotel."
ANGELUS AGENCY WITH KNABE & CO.
The agency for the Angelus, Angelus piano,
etc., has been transferred from Harry H. Juelg
to Wm. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore and Washing-
ton, who have ordered a full and complete line
of these celebrated instruments for these cities.
BIG FIRE IN COLUMBUS.
Fifteen pianos and two pianolas were entirely
ruined by fire which occurred last week at the
Goldsmith music store, 74 North High street,
Columbus, O. There were also a number of small
instruments rendered absolutely worthless.
Henry Goldsmith estimates his loss at $10,000,
fully insured.
