THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
BOSTON BRAG
HREE million people live within the fifty mile radius around BOSTON.
There are more persons within fifty miles of the MUSIC_ HOUSE of the OLIVER DITSON
COMPANY than live within the same distance of any other similar establishment in AMERICA.
Ninety-five per cent, of the MUSIC buying Public within this radius depend upon the HOUSE
of DITSON for supplies, in consequence large, complete stocks, that are comprehensive, and include
every item known to the Music Trade, are necessary, and kept by this house.
The facilities the people in the circle enjoy for reaching BOSTON are better than those of any other
American City, without exception. There are 3,000 miles of steam and electric railways within this fifty
miles. Off hand, we should say, if we stretched our stock in a continuous line, it would cover 3,000 miles
of the railway tracks, and with this enormous stock we can supply not only the wants of the people in
our immediate neighborhood, but the wants of the whole country as well, and we have named ourselves

BOSTON is the richest American City. One-twentieth
of the total wealth of the United States being within its fifty
mile limit. It is, therefore, necessary to keep, at all times, the
f i n e g t q u a l i t y o f MUSICAL MERCHANDISE, and the BEST
EDITIONS of MUSIC and BOOKS as the buyers not only have the means to satisfy their desires, but the
necessary stocks in our establishment to gratify them with, consequently purchasers from afar can secure
of us the qualities and kinds of goods, at all times, which cannot be found elsewhere.
BOSTON is the second largest seaport in the United States, and goods from Europe reach this City,
and are delivered in our warehouse, at nominal cost when compared with the expense of receiving goods
from abroad in other cities; consequently qualities and prices can be obtained that are much more satis-

BOSTON is the terminal of the most important Railroads in America, and facilities for shipping
goods are unequaled in any city of the world, consequently purchasers from other towns receive better

BOSTON is the terminal, and its port of entry for coastwise steamers makes it the best shipping

receive from BOSTON better service, and lower freight rates, than can be obtained from any other large
city along the coast, the dock facilities for handling merchandise being second only to New York, and
superior, with lower tariff rates, than those of the great city of New York.

of this organization can always be supplied by the OLIVER DITSON COMPANY.
