KNABE IN CHICAGO.

The Agency OF the Knabe Pianos In
Chicago Is Given to Lyon & Healv.
Who VIII Hold These Renowned In
struments as Their Leaders"
One of the agonies is over.
We are informed on reliable authority
that the great house Of WV. KNABE & Co.
Of Baltimore. have given their Chicago
agency to the new Lyon & Healy CONCERN.
We are also informed that the LYON e.
Healy Company will run the Knabe Pianos
as their headers" whatever other pianos
they may ses lit to handle as well.
This is very important news.
1t Is evident from the very nature of
things there will be very strong rivalry in
business between Lyon, Potter s. Co. and
the Lyon &c Healy Company, and direct
result Of this rivalry wlli be to bring the
Steinway and Knabe Pianos into more
direct opposition than ever before.
Personally, We view this situation with
extreme pleasure, and for the following
reasons:
The prosperity OF the piano trade, as a
whole, depends absolutely on the great
house maintaining their activity, their high
standard Of manufacture, their interest In
all musical endeavor.
We think that both Messrs. Steinvay &
Sens and Messrs. Kuabe & Co. will profit
by the new arrangement. and that the in
terests OF each ia Chicago will be guarded
and furthered even with greater zeal and
fidelity than before.
The knabe firm is one of the most con-
sentative in the trade.
They have rarely used auv even of the
legitimate means Of advertising EMPLOYED
by their principal competitors, but for all
that their progress has been steady and
constant.
No house in this trade stands higher than
they do, either in reputation or credit.
They are now well into the second half
century of their existence, and can proudly
look back through the years on an unblen-
ished record
Recently they have made number of
moves, the taking Of their present magnifi-
cent store on Fifth avenue in the Methodist
building, the engagement of Mr.. Ferdinand
Mayer as their manager, and now the Civ
lng OF their Chicago agency to the Lyon &
dealy Company, which show very concIu-
slveiy that tine firm is possessed not merely
with the spirit OF enterprise, but with all that
old power that, from an humble beginning
but on solid basis Of integrity and capac-
lty. reared their house to its present proud
and magnificent proportions. -American
