Enterprising Firm Of Mann & Eccles
Will Soon Be in Them.

Mann q Ecoles the piano dealers, whose
business motto Is "the public's interest,
and who live up to their motto, are going
to move into better quarters, although it
would seem difficult perhaps to improve
upon their present establishment and
they will be located on the principal
street Of the town.

hast for the term of fifteen years the cor
ner store In the new Banigan build

Of the most interesting and creditable
chapters in the business history or Provi-
dence.
They are both young men-Mr. Mann
Is 81 and Mr.. Eccles Is 35-but they have
as large circle of friends and followers
as any piano house in New England.
Both are musicians as we'll as dealers in
musical goods, and aside from his busi-
ness enterprise Mr.. Eccles has achieved q
prominent place in the professional life of
the city as the organist and choirmaster
at st. Johns church.
blr. Mann came here from New Haven
in 1887 and made for himself an enviable
place in the business and social life of
the city.
The firm moved into It's present quar-
ters November l6, 1895, and the reception
given at the formal opening was one of
the principal events. in which business
and pleasure were combined, Of that win
ter.
The public verdict was that Mann and
Eccles had one of the finest interiors in
the city. Their warerooms combined ee-
gance and simplicity and the acoustic
properties were of rare excellence.
The entertainments did not cease with
the first "house warming" That event
was followed by n series OF delightful re-
ceptions and musicales last winter and
the winter before and some Of the most
noted singers and pianists of this city
and Boston were present To entertain the
guests of Mann and Eccles
Not content with these Evenings at
home" the mem bers of the firm last win
ter gave q big dinner at the Athletic Club
and the guests were representative of the
state and city governments, the medical
profession, the bar and the press.
In 1895 they gave private dinner COM
plimentary to their employees.
As an artistic success, the Oriental
Room" fitted up at the piano warerooms
last winter made tremendous hit

England and II is to DO hoped that this
feature will bo retained at the new

the fact that the structure was unsafe.
