Prospects Are That First Five Months of the
Present Year Will Be the Best in the History
of the Company in Volume of Business.
I II:NTII\(,TO\, I ND., March 27. Reports from the
factory of the SchalT Bros. Co. here indicate an
unusually prosperous business for that concern.
F. C. Adsit, general manager of the company,
reports that although February was believed to
he the largest month in the history of the con-
cern in point of business, the figures for that
month were overshadowed by those of March.
Moreover, the orders already in hand for April
and May delivery give indications that the total
business for the first five months of the year will
be tlie largest ever enjoyed by the house.
During the past year or so Mr. Adsit has been
devoting unusual energy to the exploitation of
the Schaff line and backing the work up with a
product that in every way lives up to the state-
ments made for the Schaff pianos.
