THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
CHANCE FOR SUPPLY HOUSES.
English Manufacturing Firms Want to Pur-
chase All Kinds of Supplies Entering Into
the Manufacturing of Pianos and Players.
An American consular officer in the United King-
dom reports that a firm in his district desires to
import pianoforte actions, piano locks, piano sound-
ing boards, bronze powders, brass and iron wood
screws, steel music wire, flint and glass paper, wood
dowel makers, player-piano fittings, piano keyboards
and wrest pins. The firm states that it has hitherto
imported these goods in considerable quantities from
Europe, and indicates that it is prepared to place
large orders, providing prices and quantities are
satisfactory. It is explained that the company pre-
fers to purchase, subject to cash being forwarded as
soon as the goods are examined. Reference is
given. Manufacturers and supply houses interested
in this inquiry should address the Bureau of For-
eign Trade Opportunities, Department of Commerce
and Labor, Washington, D. C, referring to inquiry
No. 15,437.
RECORD IN QUICK DELIVERY.
As an instance of quick delivery it is interesting
to note the progress of car 11,174 of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, which left the factory of
the Matawan Steel & Iron Co., Matawan, N. J.,
on Saturday afternoon, January 23, and was in
New York on Monday morning, delivery being
made to the users of Matawan plates promptly on
that day.
S. B. Eggleston, head of the Matawan Steel &
Iron Co., states that this railroac! company always
makes quick deliveries of the merchandise en-
trusted to its care, inasmuch as this dependability
exists in the transportation of these goods, Mr.
Eggleston feels that he is safe in offering prac-
tically "express deliveries."
that the initial cost of articles made from this new
discovery, it is estimated, will be about double the
piesent cost; but it is considered that the saving
of labor to the customer will more than cover
the total cost of the completed product in the first
twelve-month.
