The Musical Center OF the West.

One enterprise after another is daily
added to our rapidly growing and pros
porous city, and among the most notable
of the late arrivals is the opening of a
Joint wareroom by two of the greatest
piano factories in the world. Our atten-
ton was called to the new signs on the
windows OF the Salt Lake Music company
on West Second South street. We entered
for the purpose of investigating matters
and were most courteously received and
conducted through the immense show
room by Mr.. w. B. Sparkman, who is
general western traveller for the far famed
and greatest of all piano manufacturers,
the Hazelton Bros. of New York;
Also of the celebrated Pease
Piano company of New York, who
have sold during the past twenty-five
years something over go, 900 pianos. The
establishing of this branch house in our
city is most certainly another feather in
her cap.'' Understand that this is not an
agency for these world renowned makers,
but simply a branch house or sample
room, where would be purchasers of fine
instruments may call and select piano
from complete representation of the
product of these eastern factories at
actual manufacturers cost, with only the
freight added. Only forty of these beau
| tifrI instruments have yet arrived, but
several car loads are in transit. MIR.
Sparkman assured us that no other
such house exists west of Chi
cago, they appreciated the TACT
that Salt Lake was the greatest
musical city of the west, and in consider
alton Of the amount of first class musical
talent existing in our territory, they de-
cided to establish their great consolidated
manufacturers branch here. Hazleton
Bros. stand far above all others. They
make the finest and most costly instru-
IL i a..
| to be found in the royal palaces of Eu-
rope, in the rich salons of Paris and in
the mansions OF Americas millionaires.
For sixty long years HThe Hazieton
boys.' as they are still sometimes called,
have manufactured pianos, and have
always been the essence of progressiveness,
keeping thoroughly in tune with the times
and turning out only the most modern
instruments, which are devoid Of the
catch penny selling points that many
makers resort to in the hope of ''roping
in'' long suffering and unsuspecting
public The Pease Piano company man
ufacture fine medium class instrument
that comes within the reach of all, a piano
that never fails to give perfect satisfac-
ton. One of the most beautiful designs
that they make is a white enamel and
gold. So perfectly elegant is this instru-
ment that it was chosen above all others
to adorn the parlor of the Chdperone
Magazine in the Women's building at the
Worlds fair.
Among the beautiful fancy woods are
figured mahogany, English oak. French
burl, rosewood, American burI, Circas-
sian walnut, and Hungarian ash. All
handsomely carved and highly finished.
AS we gazed upon the splendor of these
instruments and listened to the soul in
spring strains that came forth under the
mastery touch of Mr.. Chas. I'll. Comp
ton. we trembled for the pocket books OF
adoring husbands and indulgent parents,
realizing that life will be a burden to them
until the fond wife or daughter
is the happy possessor of an instrument
HazeIton Bros. and the Pease Piano
company are by far the wealthiest piano
manufacturers in the world, and they
have such wonderful faith in their in
struments that they consider money
we'll invested in them. Consequently
cash down is a secondary item. They
give the longest tine and make the easiest
payments of any companies in existance.
| 1t is simple matter to become the owner
of one OF these beautiful instruments by
small monthly payments convenient to
one's income.
The Salt Lake house will be under the
management of Mr.. Charles II. Compton
of Chicago and Mr.. George s. Smith of
