GOOD BALTIMORE SALES.
The National Piano Co., 322 North Howard street,
Baltimore, Md., is experiencing a good demand for
Chickering, Marshall-Wendell and Brewster pianos
which it recently purchased from the Hamilton Co.,
Baltimore retail distributor of these pianos, who is
retiring from the piano business. The National
bought the entire stock at a big concession, which it
is now offering to the Baltimore public at prices much
lower than usually prevail for these excellent in-
struments.
