p i T T S I i U R G H , PA., August 12.—An optimis-
tic note is being sounded by the piano trade
here due to the fact that the first week in
August has been noted for the very satisfactory
volume of business that has been handled.
While it is true that the number of sales have
not been large, it is quite apparent there is a
well-defined buying movement on. In other
words, persons who have usually bought pianos
after Labor Day are now in the market and
are making inquiries concerning the instru-
ments they wish to have. A fair volume of
advertising lias been featured during the past
week by such prominent piano houses as the
S. Hamilton Co., the W. F. Frederick Piano
Co., the C. C. Mcllor Co. and the J. M. Hoff-
mann Co., as well as the piano departments of
Boggs & Buhl and Kaufmann's.
Another indication of good business is the
gradual resumption of the coal mines in the
Pittsburgh and adjoining districts that have
been idle for some months. Many of the iron
and steel plants are preparing for extra busi-
ness and are placing their plants in operation
with 100 per cent of man power. The Pitts-
burgh Steel Co. to-day placed its plant at Mo-
nessen in operation, after being idle for several
weeks, giving employment to more than 600
Florey Bros. Grand Pianos Are Distinguished
THEY are distinguished from all other brands for several
important reasons. Among these we might mention
Exceptional standard of musical tone, individual design and
unusual refinement in workmanship and finish. They are
manifestly superior in every detail, made by OLD SCHOOL
CRAFTSMEN, on a basis of Quality Standard rather than Quan-
tity Output.
Dealers whose customers discriminate
should write for our literature.

men. The Crucible Steel Co. also to-day placed
its LaPicllc plant on the Northside in operation
on a 100 per cent capacity, after a spasmodic
operation for the past eight months.
In the adjoining Mahoning Valley district it
is reported that the iron and steel plant opera-
tions arc the highest in four months, with thirty-
one out of fifty-two open-hearth furnaces active
and seventy-two mills running as against sixty-
nine last week.
This all indicates that the coming Fall and
Winter industrial season will be a very satis-
factory one and insures steady operation on
orders that will require well into 1925 to com-
plete. This also means steady and heavy dis-
bursements of wages totaling hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars every two weeks.
On the whole, the music trade here is much
gratified at the outlook for business and the
various sales departments arc "brushing up"
and getting ready for what they anticipate will
be a "land office" business.
H. H. Fleer, sales manager of the C. C. Mcl-

tauqua and before returning home will motor

The F. A. North Piano Co., of Altoona, Pa.,
is offering for sale the stock of pianos, player-
pianos and other musical merchandise formerly
owned by W. L. Morrison, music merchant of
Somerset, Pa. Mr. Morrison has retired from
the music business to engage in another line of
mercantile business.
Application for a Pennsylvania charter will be
made on August 25 for the Wagner-Bund Music
Co. to buy and sell musical instruments and
musical merchandise at wholesale and retail.
The incorporators are Samuel G. Wagner, Emil
1'und, Dorolhia M. Wagner and Gisa Bergman.
The Citizens' Band of Topton, Pa., have asked
the Berks County Court to issue a charter to
the organization. The directors of the band-
organization for the ensuing year are Charles
Dankcl, Milton Stcvelton and others.
