 c. N SIMPSON, The piano and organ establishment of c. N. Simpson at 396 Main street, Springfield, affords striking example of progress and the success that persistent energy, industry, acquaintance with business and honorable dealings can accomplish MT. Simpson began here about six years ago In a small way, but the conditions have now changed. The small store has developed into an establishment of three floors, and into a business which confers commercial dignity upon the trade of the city. In the front part of the first floor is the very complete depart ment of sheet music, in the center are the business offices, while in the rear is to be seen n laroe stock of square pianos. On the second floor are the grands and the uprights. Here is fine exhibition of the pianos of the most celebrated make and the most exquisite work manship. The prevailing taste at present IS fol the uprights, and onthis floor are found some of the most perfect and brilliant ever made On the third floor there is large stock oi cabinet organs, secondhand pianos and an extensive repair department. All repairing IS done under the immediate supervision of 2 practical workman. Besides all this MT Stimpson has branch stores at Holyoke, North ampton, Greenfield and Westfeld. He thus secures almost the entire trade of large sec ton of the Connecticut valley. For more than 35 years he has been engaged in the manufacture of piano-legs at Westfeld, where he now employs more than 100 hands. Ihls line of business has enabled him frequently to visit the factories of different piano makers and to compare the stock and workmanship in each, thus qualifying him to judge of the merits of different instruments. Through his manufacturing business he has unusual fac1l ities for obtaining piano fortes at less than the usual prices. He deals in pianoes and organs of all the leading makes, is familiar with the excellencies and defects in their production, and is an, eminently trustworthy and compe- tent dealef His salesmen are polite and reli- able men. The Simpson sisters, who have won great favor in musical circles as brilliant and accomplished pianists, are members of the family. One of these young women is a fine organist and violinist. And Mrs. Stimp- son, with her clear insight for business, has been valuable assistant, and has contributed not a little to the remarkable success of the concern. The principle on which the busi- ness of this house is eoudncted Is that Of hon loo f,111 xyo1T1a for money. and strict adherence to every representation made Prom the Springfield Repab''con.
