Again in far away Japan traveller from this section beheld to his pleasure and satisfaction d like proof of Connecticut's industrial success, for there in Japan in one of the homes of the wealthy reposed Mathu- shek grand piano. And so everywhere almost on the habitable globe the Ma thushek piano has found it's way. Many are shipped to South America, Mexico and Canada, and there is asbig demand for them in the United States.
