THE "American Israelite," in long
article under the head OF "Piano Manu-
facturing," speaking of the OHIO Valley
Piano Co., the manufacturers of the IA
yorite VALLEY GEN, says:
Altogether, in all It's branches the pi-
ano mandatory at Ripley ls second to
none in the country either for eXcellen ce
of workmanship or appliances Of ma
chinery for doing the most work All
the different parts of the piano are
made and put together here
at home under the eye and
supervision of the most COM
D tent workmen, which Is more than can
be said of many Of the eastern manutac-
tories. No other piano manufactory has
such advantages in location. Large sup
plies of the choicest lumber can be had
on the spot at from 90 to 800 per cent.
less than New York prices.
The growth of the piano was gradual
at first. but their production has been III
creased 400 per cent. since 1911.
The piano, after having gone through
the hands of the various artisans, and
ready for the parlor, is indeed beautiful
work of art. Il erything is finished to a
nicetv, externally and internally; the
greatest care has been bestowed; MOTH
ing is wanting; all the latest improve
ments have been added. The hammers
are covered with the thickest felt; the
leverage is so delicate that the slightest
touch upon key will produce note
in fact the piano is now finished in every
particular, and is an instrument that
any one maybe proud to have in his OF
her possession.

gathered in 10 at Seituate. The moss
grows on the sunken rocks near the
coast. Long rakes are used in tilimg
this marine farm, and it does not take
long to fill the many dories that await
the lichen, torn from its salty, rocky bed.
Puppies and browns, maroons, blacks,
yellows, and dull, dark reds, CLEAN and
glisten in the sunlight. Airy fronds,
too delicate to grow in the open air,
they spread their lace-like shapes under
the soft water, far down in the quiet, be-
low the loan and roar OF the sea. Every
rock and boulder is covered with moss.
The husbands and fathers gather the
moss from the sea, and the wives and
daughters prepare 1t for market by a
peculiar and yet simple process. SOAK
1t in water and it melts away into jelly.
Boil it with milk, and delicious, white
and creamy blanc-mange is the result.
But this messing is hard life. It's wet
and cold in the boat, the sand OF the
beach is hot and burning, and the wash
ing-tubs are hard on the back. The moss
business at Scituate was started in 1919,
by a resident of the place. At tnat time
the demand for the article was limited,
but it has now increased to an annual
product of ten thousand barrels, and
brings $4,000 into the town, which sum
is shared by some one hundred and
thirty families. Its consumption in the
manufacture of lager is very large, and
the entire beer interests in the country
dlaws its supplys from Scituate beaches,
as the importation from Ireland has al
most ceased. 1t is well known that the
moss, as an article for food, is called
"Sea Moss Farine."
