WITH THE, PIANO CO.
The Piano Company are still add-
ing to the staff of empIoyees,While
the factory is being operated over-
time four nights a week. While the
demand for organs is considerable,
and orders for hundreds are yet
unfilled, the greatest effort is being
directed to satisfying the demand
for Doherty Pianos and Player
Pianos.
We have just seen a photo of sev-
•eral carloads of pianos being placed
on board the steamer Hamonic of
the Northern Navigation Co., at
Sarnia, and expect to produce the
nieture later. We :understand that
no _piano firm• in. Canada has ship-
ped so largely as our own Clinton
firm. ,
Information•is at hand, alse, that
before the New Year the company
will own its own warehouse .on
Wall street, Winnipeg, a brick'one
storey and basement, 40 feet by 70
feet, With the Most modern equip-
ment for handling the western
trade. The construction is alrencly
well under way.
Mr. D. S. Cluff, general Manager,
recently returned from a speedy
trip among the Doherty dealers in
the Maritime Provinces and found
the demand for Doherty Pianos
good, one dealer placing an order
tor a full carload. Returning from
the Bast, 'Mr. Cluff visited Chicago
securing many advantages in the
purchase of superior factory equip-
ment and raw material.
Attention is directed to the new
Doherty Art Piano, style C., in Cir -
cession wdlnut. First shipments
are just 'being made and the peer
of this beautiful instrument is not
in the Market.
From present appearances large
additions to staff and factory space
are necessury, and Clinton should
rejoice that prospects for this en-
terprieing firm are so exceptionally
bright.
