THE JESSE FRENCH PIANO AND ORGAN COMPANY DOES THE LARGEST BUSINESS IN ITS HIS TORY.

No Christmas season in the history of Birmingham has brought with it the lib- eral expenditure of money as has the present one. It Is forcible evidence that never before has Birmingham enjoyed such year of great prosperity. The fat pocketbook is seen on every hand and the owners thereof are showing no disposition to be stinted in the choice of gifts with which to express thelr Christmas greeting.
 It is gratifying, too, to note the grow ing and general desire to select presents that afford real and substantial pleas ure instead of the useless, though often costly, articles that have no permanent value This Is demonstrated especially in the immense sales of pianos made during the past few weeks by the Jesse French Piano and Organ company for Christmas delivery In fact, this sea sons business greatly exceeds that of any during the many years of the Jesse French company's prosperous career in this city.
 It is stated also that never before was there such a large demand for high grade pianos, especially grands. Of these the Steinway leads. The recent production of this famous instrument, the Miniature Grand, has proved par ticularly popular. several having been sold during just the past few days. The Knabe Mignon has also been an excel lent seller. The other pianos handled by the Jesse French company are the Starr. Richmond and Jesse French, and the large stock of these have been heav- ily drawn upon this season. The knabe Angelus and the Starr Cicelian, both in side piano players, are carried by this company and demand good sale.
 One each of these were being pre- pared this morning for delivery Satur- day. A special Starr Cicelian was this morning ordered by wire to be shipped by express.
 Although Manager Holcombe in an ticipation of an unusual business had ordered the largest stock of pianos ever before in the company's history. 1t did not prove sufficient and extra shipments were necessary to keep the stock up to the standard of the Jesse French com pany The last special shipment was re- ceived this morning so that every de- mand can be satisfied.
 Mir. J. H. Holcombe. manager of the Jesse French company, should feel very much gratified with the entire year s business, for 1t is largely through his strong administration that such strik- ing success has been attained by the company in the Birmingham district
