Cecil alley. from Liberty street to Duquesne

Pointed Resolutions to be Presented to

At the next meeting of Typographical Union
No. q set of resolutions will be presented
from the sub-printers of this city. The resolu-
tions were adopted at the meeting OF subs held
last week. and are rather pointed. After la
menting the fact of there being so many subs
who do not get as much work as subs in other
trades, the resolutions request that the trouble
be remedied. The most important resolution
is the following:
That the proofreadershlps at present held by
parties others than printers, and non-union men
at that, be placed in the hands OF union printers
and that chapels have styles posted up in con-
spicuous parts Of the Offices.

It is conceded that the bulk Of pianos
and organs sold in this city and neighbor-
hood come from the old and popular house
OF II. Kleber & Bro, 506 Wood street.
They have handled" all the best instru-
ments made in this country and Europe,
but they sell only the very choicest Of them
all, leaving 1t to all the other music dealers
to "handle" away at the inferior and worth
less ones. What can compare with the
matchless Steinway, the superb Conover or
the popular Opera and Gabler pianos7 or
the great Burdett organs, the dust and
mouse-proof Earhuf organs, or the match
less new Vocation church organ, which,
while costing only $500 is fully equal in
power and variety to a 81, 500 pipe organ,
and will cost absolutely nothing for keeping
it in good tune for many years, while every
pipe organ must be tuned once every year at
least at an expense of upward Of 500.
Messrs. Kleber & Bro. are the pioneer
music dealers Of Pittsburg, and their good
name for strictly honest and honorable deal
ings attracts the big majority of buyers to
their store, SOC Wood street.
