One Big Institution Has Been Ab~
sorbed By Another.
EFFECT FELT IN GOLDSBORO.
The Great Cable Company Has Purchased the Plant
and Business of the Old Mason and Hamlin
Company-John Wanamaker Tried to
Buy the Plant.

able line of splendid pianos-ready
sellers in every section. Now added
to these is The Mason & Hamlin,
which has won a distinct place
among the few Artistic instruments
of national renown, that are strictly
OF the highest possible grade of man
ufacture. The Cable Company is
indeed in an impregnable position.
The deal also gives The Cable Com
pany control OF the world-renoWned
Mason q Hamlin Organ as we'll,
which will now be run in connection
with their own famous Chicago Cot
tage Organs. The purchase of the
immense plant of The Mason & Ham
lin Company is not the only big deal
in which The Cable Company has
figured recently. Recognizing the
great future in the manufacture of
the Piano-Player and in placing this
instrument in connection with their
own magnificent line Of pianos, The
Cable Company cast about for a suit
able plant: finally deciding upon
that OF The Imperial Company, at d
cost of forty thousand dollars. The
Imperial was made the goal at which
The Cable Company aimed for the
reason that it ranked among the best
of mechanical Piano-Playefs, and
was possessed of certain patent de-
vices which makes The Imperial
Player more nearly akin to the hui
man touch and expression possibly
than any other player. All rights
and patents of the Imperial Com
pany have been transferred to The
Cable Company, and these instru-
ments will shortly be placed on the
North Carolina market. Briefly,
the control by The Cable Company
of the Imperial plant means simply
that purchasers will now be able to
buy one of these famous Piano-Play-
ers direct from the manufacturer,
and under the same liberal terms
and prices which are now extended
by The Cable Company to purchas-
ers of their pianos and organs.
The city of Goldsboro may we'll
Congratulate itself upon having with
in its limits such an enterprising
finn as The Cable Company, which
makes the city of Goldsboro the dis
tributing point of North Carolina,
and such practical and stable man
as its general manager, Mr.. A. w.
Chandler, under whose control the
business of The Cable Company
must prosper.

GoldsbOro is soon to feel the effect
of the push and enterprise of The
Cable Company. The acquisition by
the Cable Company of the immense
plant of The Mason & Hamlin Com
pany, of Boston, places them in a
most enviable position in the piano
trade. The immense plants at Chi
cago and st. Charles, illinois,, has
established the Cable Company in
the Middle and Western States, and
spread their business through the
Middle Atlantic and Southern States,
but the establishment of a factory in
the East has been the aim of the able
officials of this company for several
years. The negotiations for the con-
t1OI of The Mason q Hamlin plant,
at Boston, have been protracted, and
have extended over period of
months. John Wanamaker, of New
York and Philadelphia, who has
handled The Mason & Hamlin out
put, and who knows, by practical
experience, the value of the we'll
known instruments manufactured by
this concern, put up tremendous
fight to get control of the business,
but the efforts put forth by The Cable
people finally won the fight, and the
half million dollar plant of Mason &
Hamlin is now under the manage
ment of The Cable Company.
Mr.. A. w. Chandler, the general
manager of The Cable Company in
this city, and the official head of their
business in North Carolina, points
out that this means to the State OF
North Carolina, and to the city Of
Goldsboro especially, tremendous
increase in business, and as conse.
quence an increased circulation o.
money.
While The Cable Company had
already, through years of enterprise
and effort, acquired an enviable po
sition in the piano and organ bust
ness, both in thiscountry and abroad
| the control of The Mason & HamliI
output, and a we'll equipped factory
in the East, places them in position
| by themselves.
There is now directly under tht
control of this immense corporation
with its millions of capital and it
millions of resources, The Mason {
Hamlin Pianos, the Conover Piano
which is recognized among the bes
made, the Kingsbury, Wellington
and Cable Pianos. Truly remark

Novel Method of Curing Catarrh.
Sold On Approval By J. III.
Hill & Son.

The popularity and remarkable
sales of Hyomei have broken all rec
ords. In nearly every city and town
in the country, this guaranteed cure
for catarrh has given most astonish-
ing results.
The leading druggists are so en-
thusiastic over the remarkable per-
centage of cures following the use of
Hyomei, that with hardly an excep-
ton, they advertise to their custom
ers that Hyomei will be sold with
the understanding that it costs moth
ing unless it cures.
In Goldsboro, J. III. Hill & Son
are endorsing it and guaranteeing to
refund the money unless Hyomei
cures catarrh. They have sold a
great many Hyomei outfits, and to-
day, no other treatment for the cure
of catarrh has as many friends in
Goldsboro and vicinity as Hyomei.
It is a scientific, yet common sense
method Of treating and curing this
too common disease. 1t sends by
direct inhalation to every cell of the
air passages in the head, throat and
lungs. a balsamic air that destroys
| all catarrhal germs, purifies the
blood with additional ozone, and
makes complete and lasting cure OF
any catarrhal trouble.
The complete outfit costs but ST.,
and includes an inhaler, medicine
dropper and sufficient Hyomei fol-
several weeks treatment.
| You take no risk in buying Hy'
on,ei. J. II. Hill & Son positively
| guarantee to refund your money ut
less it cule5.

The belief among the North Caro-
lima delegates in Congress is that an
early convention will be called. 1t
is known that at least two of the
candidates for Governor desire an
early convention, and if there is not
some good reason for a contrary
course, the wishes of the candidates
will likely be consulted by the COM
mittee in fixing the date.
With this idea in view a copy of
the call has been forwarded to all
gubernatorial candidates and some
Others.

Pioneer Associations,

The pioneer associations of the state
are not only source Of pleasure to
their members but very useful agen
cies in preserving the history and ira
ditions of the early days of the territ-

be formed and is already showing much
energy along these lines. -P.-l.
What is the reason that our kttitas
pioneer association can not de revived
