belief that the denial relates to the form

a Western Triumph,

The wonderful progress of Chicago in the
manufacturing field during the past decade
has proved a genuine eye-epener to Eastern
people, and many of her own citizens while
dimly conscious of her growth in this re-
spect are not fully alive to the immense
benefit which accrues to the city By the
gradual location of great manufactures in
her vicinity In every day lines such as
packing, milling and kindred industries
Chicago has long been acknowledged the
s'King Bee,' but it will surprise most peo-
pie to learn that in the manufacture OF
musical instruments also, the largest fac
tory in existence is located in Chicago.
Nevertheless 1t is fact that Lyon &
Healy turn out more goods annually than
any similar factory in the world. Last year
their output was upward of 100000 musical
instruments and this year judging by the
increase thus far the result will be con-
siderably greater. The instruments made
by them include Pianos, Organs, Harps.
Guitars, Banjos, Mandolins, Drums and
band instruments, and the quality is so far
superior to the European product, that the
consumer cheerfully pays more money for
the homemade article. To the thinking
mind it is a real pleasure to know that our
people have made such remarkable prog
gress in this artistic line, and to the w est
ern man particularly it is a matter of pride
to know that to his section belongs this
high distinction.
