CHICAGO, III., December 22.—Officials of the
Bush & Lane Piano Co. announced to-day that
W. L. Bush has joined them and will henceforth
be identified in an active way with the sales
department. This announcement coming from
a concern so widely and well known as the Bush
& Lane Piano Co. and a personage so prom-
inently identified with the industry will be re-
ceived with great interest by the friends of both.

has been followed by a large number of in-
quiries regarding this new instrument, the first
of which are now coming through the Ricca &
Son factory.
For many years Ricca & Son have held a
unique position in the manufacturing of upright
pianos and player-pianos. During the last year
a very small instrument of this type was per-
fected which won quick approval and kept the
plant running full tilt throughout the entire
year.
The developing of the Ricca & Son baby
grand, therefore, conforms with the policy of
W. L. Bush
becoming associated with the Bush & Lane
Piano Co. and expresses great pleasure there-
with. In the course of his statement Mr. Bush
announced that he will be in a position in the
immediate future to present to his friends
among the dealers a special W. L. Bush small
artistic five-foot grand and two styles of up-
rights of the four-foot-four-inch size, one a
straight piano and the other a player incorporat-
ing the Cecilian installation of either reproduc-
ing electric or foot-power type.

In the new Ricca & Son grand tone, quality,
high-grade material and workmanship have been
the first thought.
"We have been developing this instrument for
a long time," said Mr. Ricca to The Review
representative this week. "It is built around a
new scale, perfected by one of the best scale
draughtsmen in the country. It is five feet two
inches long and has a splendid volume of supe-
rior tone quality. In making the case we have
used great care and given it extra rigidity, while
the back is built with posts. As for the action,
keys, hammers, strings and plate we are using
none but the best that can be purchased. With
these features we are able to assure the trade
