The Estey Organ company have recent
ly issued a very handsome souvenir cata-
logue, marking the completion of its three
hundred thousandth organ, an event which
occurred in October last. In the opening
pages the humble beginning and phenom-
email growth of the organ industry in Brat
tleboro are skilfully written into an en-
tertaining story, with illustrations show
ing the buildings where the Estey organs
have been made from the lang syne days
of 1916 to the present time. A page of
special local interest is that which shows a
portrait of Jacob Estey,, founder of the
company, picture of "organ No. l." this
being the old-fashioned three and one-half
octave melOdeon, and, "as natural as life,"
if not quite as large, half-tone of Daniel
II. Bement elbowng the music out of one
of those very same machines. The cata-
logue shows the leading styles of organs
made by the Estey company, with pages
specially devoted to the new phonoriums
which are coming so rapidly into favor as
an instrument for churches, lodges and
other organizations where volume of sound
as well as quality is essential.
