4 GREAT ATTRAcTIoN.-On Wednes-
day, as we were passing up River street
Notwithstanding the heavy rain, we no
ticed crowd gathered TO admire the
dazzling attractive signs being put up
and arranged upon the beautiful store
front of Mr.. Fred III. Cluett, at 269 Riy-
or street, and all who take the pains to
notice, will not wonder that passers by
are thus affected by this brilliant dis
play. Underneath the two plate glass
show windows and up the entire length
of the north column, plate glass signs,
finished in pearl and gold, upon the
Warmcst and richest background, erred
ii. Cluett" and "Estcy Organs" are so
beautifully illuminated that the effect is
wonderfully striking. even as far as the
signs can be seen. We also noticed that
the interior of the store had been beau
titled in the same manner. AS an evil
dence of commendablc enterprise and q
jndicious nsc of printers ink, we are
permitted TO say that since June l, the
piano business of Mr.. Fred ii. Cluett
has been largely in excess of any prcvi-
Gus year, and Il will doubtless afford his
multitude of friends great pleasure 10
know that his efforts are being attended
WIN such signal success, and that he is
being so literally prospered. A visit to
his beautifully proportioned and capa-
cions music rooms will well repay any
interested in the purchase of either the
Steinway, Chickerng or Haines Bros. ;
Pianos, or Estcy Organs, the four best
instruments Of which we have any
knowledge.-[Troy Morning Wing,
