ORDERS FOR SPECIAL CONOVERS.
MANY SALES OFJiSZT ORGANS
State of Illinois Places Order for St. Charles
Institution—Beautiful Special Conover for
East Coast Steamship Much Admired.
Made by Manager Brockington, of the Mason
& Hamlin Co., to Prominent Institutions and
Persons Recently—Export Trade Growing.
(Special to The Review.)
C. E. Brockington, manager of the organ de-
partment of the Mason & Hamlin Co., at 313 Fifth
avenue, New York, has had a very busy fortnight,
and among his many recent sales of Liszt organs
are the following: New Orpheum Theater, Jersey
City; an organ in a white enameled case to Miss
Louise Dresser for her musical act; Scarsdale
Congregational Church; Indestructible Phonograph
Co., and Raul Pereira, for use in connection with
his string quartet. Mr. Brockington also reports
the sale of a beautiful chapel organ for use in
the chapel of the Raymond Street Jail, Brooklyn,
N. Y. Business in the organ department is very
brisk, and all indications assure a prosperous fall
season.
Foreign shipments of the Liszt organs were also
made to Syria, Porto Rico and Buenaventura, Cen-
tral America.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 30, 1912.
The Cable Company of this city has been hon-
ored with an order by the State of Illinois for
a special Conover piano in dull finish walnut, to
be made after the design of the Style 44 for the
State Institution at St. Charles. A special Con-
over has also been completed for the Merchants and
Miners' Transportation Co., whose steamships are
engaged in the East Coast trade. This instrument
was made specially to harmonize with the finish of
the cabin, and is a superb creation both in archi-
tecture, and musically. Joseph M. Mann, the Cable
representative in Baltimore, was almost as enthusi-
astic over the beauty of this instrument, as the
fact that the Conover had been selected as the
official piano for the Chicago Grand Opera Co.
SUGGEST J. C. TOOMEY AS TRUSTEE
Of the Affairs of Kaffenberger &. Cantor—No
, Offer from Bankrupts—Committee Recom-
mend Administering Assets in Bankruptcy.
At a recent meeting of the creditors of Kaffen-
berger & Cantor, New York, L. K. Wakefield, of
Cheney Bros., C. S. Mitchell, vice-president of the
Century Bank, and J. C. Toomey, were selected
as a committee to receive any proposition of ad-
justment proposed by the bankrupts, and then to
investigate the situation and report their findings
and recommendations as to such offer. The com-
mittee reported this week that no offer has been
received for the bankrupt, and in view of this
recommend that the assets be administered in bank-
ruptcy. The committee has requested C. J. Too-
ir.ey, credit manager of the Hinds & Harrison
Plush Co., the largest creditor, and member of
the committee, to act as trustee in bankruptcy,
and he has consented to assume this responsibility.

Pennsylvania. The seventeen drays loaded with
Krakauers and flaunting large banners on the sides
compelled the attention and interest of thousands
of persons.
REMODELING QUARTERS.
Wester Piano Co. to Have One of the Finest
Piano Houses in the South.
(Special to The Review.)
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30, 1912.
The quarters of the Wester Music Co., at
64 Peachtree street, this city, are now being en-
tirely remodeled, and when the alterations are
completed, it is believed that the company will
have one of the finest buildings devoted to the
sale of pianos and music in the South. The altera-
tions include a broad expanse of plate glass front,
separate rooms for the display and demonstration
of the various lines of pianos, a new lighting sys-
tem, hardwood floors and other features that will
attract public attention and make for the con-
venience of purchasers.
SCHOOL PIANOS ON PARADE.
Twenty-nine New Krakauer Pianos Purchased
by the Board of Education of Pittsburgh,
Pa., Make a Very Imposing Parade When
Delivered to Their New Abiding Places.
(Special to The Review.)
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 30, 1912.
Twenty-nine Krakauer pianos loaded in seven-
teen large drays, were paraded about the down-
town street the other day and attracted consider-
able attention. The twenty-nine Krakauers were
consigned to the various public schools of Pitts-
burgh, and represent the largest single purchase of
pianos ever made in this city for public schools.
The instruments were received direct from New
York in two large cars. The sale of these instru-
ments to the Pittsburgh School Board was made
by the C. C. Mellor Co., of 604 Wood street, on a
competitive basis, and it is said to be the largest
BUFFALO FIRM_ DISSOLVES.
Truda & Gould, a firm of piano dealers at 310
West Ferry street, Buffalo, N. Y., have dissolved
partnership, and the business will be continued by
Mr. Truda. The line handled includes the Board-
man & Gray, Wegman, Bjur Bros., and Daven-
port-Treacy pianos.
INTERESTING TOJMANO MERCHANTS.
A decision recently handed down in the courts
of Arkansas in the case of the Hollenberg Music
Co., Little Rock, vs. Barron, is of interest to piano
men, which, briefly put, holds that one who sells
a piano on conditional sale may recover posses-
sion in replevin if buyer defaults. If seller re-
sumes possession and property is destroyed through
no fault of his, buyer is not relieved from liability
for balance due. On default, seller may retake
property, recover debt and affirm sale.
"MADE BY THREE GENERATIONS"
" As a result of this
new combination of
aound-board, rim and
pressure posts, the
small upright piano
can produce a tone
comparable with a
Grand piano, and the
full round tone of the
new instrument is pre-
served because the
tound-bcard is main-
tained in its original
arched position."

The patent tone re-
flecting sound-board
will revolutionize the
piano of to-day as
surely as the patent
over strung scale did
the piano of a half
century ago.
