Is M. A. Myers, of the Cable-Nelson Piano Co.
(Special to The Review.)
Newark, N. J., March 18, 1908.
Howard Vincent has taken the Lauter Agency
in Philadelphia, and has placed- in his ware-
rooms a fine assortment of the Lauter-Humana,
Lauter Grands and Lauter Uprights. This en-
ergetic dealer is looked upon as a distinct ac-
quisition to the Lauter standard. He is one of
the greatest hustlers in the trade, and is known
in his own city as one of the most progressive
and persevering piano men. Mr. Vincent has ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the beautiful
quality of the Lauter goods, and expects to use
large numbers from now on.
The Vincent business in Philadelphia has been
a phenomenal success. Besides the Lauter line,
the H. M. Cable, Behning, Bogart, Laffargue,
Schaeffer and other instruments are handled.
E. A. Fenstermacher, the Lauter representa-
tive at Scranton, Pa., was in town this week.
He placed a nice order for Lauter goods, and
pleased the Lauter people by bringing along the
following testimonial from Alfred C. Kuschwa,
the widely known organist of Trinity Church,
Carbondale, who writes under date of March 9,
1908, as follows:
"Dear Sirs:—It is with pleasure that I add my
testimony (as it has been with hundreds of
others) as to the merits of the Lauter piano.
What appeals quickly to one is the sympathetic
and responsive action, and combined with its
rich, mellow and sustaining qualities of tone,
leaves nothing to be desired. I heartily recom-
mend the Lauter to those wishing a first-class
instrument."
Both wholesale and retail trade is reported as
being very satisfactory at the Lauter factory
and in the various Lauter retail warerooms.
There is a constantly increasing demand for the
Lauter-Humana, which greatly pleases the fac-
tory superintendent. The Lauter factory is run-
ning full time, and has been doing so for many
weeks.
Horace E. Toms was in Baltimore last week.

son Piano Co., Chicago, is one of the kind of
business men who makes new friends among all

those with whom he comes in contact. Mr.
Myers is a trade creator and when he linked his
business future with the piano trade he knew
what he was about, and the Cable-Nelson Co. has
profited by his broad business experience. As a
result this business is constantly expanding.
A NEW FIRM IN CLEVELAND.
Maxwell & Wilson are a new firm of piano
dealers located in Prospect avenue, Cleveland, O.
At present they are handling the Steger & Sons
and Reid & Sons lines of pianos, and will later
add several other makes.
PEASE CO/S NEW FACTORY
Moving in by Easy Stages to Their Great Plant
in the Bronx—Splendidly Equipped in Every
Way to Meet Demands of Business.
The Pease Piano Co. are moving by easy
stages to their new factory located at Leggett
and Randall avenues, the Bronx, and expect to
be fully installed therein by April 1. The cas>
making and varnish departments are now in
full working order and the bellying department
will be in operation next week. In following
this plan there is no cessation in manufacturing
stock and the old factory situated at 318-322
West 43d street will not be shut down until
every department is in full swing at the new
plant. The new factory is one of the largest
and most modern in the city and will have a
capacity of 5,000 pianos yearly. It also goes
without saying that the Pease piano of the
future will fully maintain the traditions of the
past. Dealers who wish to become more fa-
miliar with the Pease piano should send for the
latest catalog. Correspondence is also solicited.
BEAR IN EXCHANGE FOR PIANO.
One of the most peculiar piano exchanges re-
ported was that recently made by Homer Lowe,
junior partner of C. Luther Lowe & Son, Du
Bois, Pa., in order to close the sale. After de-
livering the instrument, Mr. Lowe was seen re-
turning to the store with his pocket bulging with
a wad of greenbacks and grasping a rope in his
hand at the other end of which was a 400-lb.

STUDIO GRAND
is the greatest success of the day.
It possesses a scale of rare even,
ness, a tone of remarkable sonority
and richness, with a quality that
is highly orchestral. Our latest
styles of Grands and Uprights
mark a decided advance in the art
of piano-making. We court inves-
tigation. Some territory still open. -
