NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
( From The Syracuse Daily Standard. )
The Mammoth Musical Emporium of Redington & Howe.
For some time we have designed an account of this immense establishment, that our readers might be posted in regard to one of the leading business establishments of our city, and which has been brought so rapidly to magui- tude by the well directed tact and indomitable energy of its proprietors.
The store No. 2 Wieting Block, is one of the largest and most elegant on the main thoroughfare, and right in the very centre of the business part of the town. As we pass along the street, and more especially on entering the store, the eve is attracted by the elaborate and tastefully arranged exhibit in the show window of all the smaller class of musical instruments, &c., that wake as an attractive a display as any window on South Salina Street. As we enter, glancing to the right, the eye quickly runs over a large array of Guitars, Violins, and all varieties of musical instruments and wares, on shelves, hanging up, and in cases. Upon the counter of this department is a Burdett Reed Organ, in a most elaborately carved case, worth $1,500. It is a beauty. Next, upon the same side, we come to a long counter, behind which the shelves are loaded with Sheet Music. Prof. T. II. Hinton super- sises tqis department ; the best guarantee that the assortment is not only well selected but complete. The opposite side of the store is erowded with Stein- way and Dunhain Pianos, the sides being lined with the unequaled Vox Humana Organs: with a large variety of Piano and Melodeon covers, and stools added above.
l'assing by the center arch we come to rows and rows more of Pianos, Or gans and Melodeons, of all varieties and styles. On the right is the depart ment for Music Books .- a branch to which this house gives the most prompt attention- Drawers the entire length of the store (140 feet) are devoted to the storage of Violin and Guitar strings, Accordeons, Harmonicas, Piano Polish, and multitude of the different wares to be found in a complete music store, for the wholesale as well as retail trade. And still above, we find more Piano and Melodeon stools, cords of Violins, Guitars, Banjos. Druu.s, &c., &c. Goods are also stored in the basement-the whole size of the main store- finished and lighted for the purpose.
In glancing through this great establishment one particularly notices the large stock and variety of Piano Fortes, Organy and Melodeons, numbering more than fifty different kinds. The speciality of the proprietors is first-class instruments -on which the public can rely implicitly as being worthy in every way of confidence. This is an important matter for purchasers. Many dealers do not hesitate to tell buyers that second grade instruments are first class. Sometimes small dealers are really ignorant of what is a first class instrument. Others are themselves manufacturers of second quality instru- ments. and of course are bound to call their own as good as any made. Sometimes, also, they sell second and third rate goods as first grade for out- rageous protits, calculating on only a brief business career in each place they visit. We say then, be careful to buy first class goods, and at a house where they are sure to have such.
Messrs. Redington & Howe, in a twelve years business history, have earned an unblemished reputation for giving perfect satisfaction to their customers. This they accomplish by knowing that everything sent out by them is exactly what it is represented to be. Besides, they are independent of any particu-

lar factory, and therefore the better fitted to judge between different makers. While R. & H. make a speciality of first class goods, they are enabled through their great advantages in buying, to sell second and third grade instruments at, cheaper rates than any honse in Central or Western New York. They buy at the large factories east, at a price actually less than the small makers can manufacture. The proof of the matter is in the trying. We say, go to Red- ington & Howe's and see what their facilities are. Their establishment is well worth a visit, even if one does not wish to buy anything. All will be made welcome.

THE IMMENSE MUSICAL ESTABLISHMENT OF REDINGTON & HOWE .-- The enter" prising wholesale Music Dealers of our city, Messrs. Redington & Howe. have just closed a most successful business year. Their sales have been im- mense- something entirely unparalleled in the history of the Music trade in Central New York. They have deserved their increasing success. Their store is the most magnificent emporium between New York and Chicago. Their stock would supply a dozen ordinary city music stores. Theirs is the only strictly wholesale Music House in the State ontside of New York City. They have even some advantages over the Metropolitan houses. Our Syra- cuse wholesale store keeps constantly on hand. the Pianos; Organs and Melo- deons, of several different makers, (a total of eighteen, with over fifty different varieties.) while New York houses keep only one maker's instruments. Be- sides. business expenses are much less in Syracuse than in New York ; con- sequently Redington &. Howe are diverting much wholesale trade from New York, and building up for themselves a mammoth business in supplying dealers. The question is sometimes asked. whether other dealers cannot bny in New York. as cheaply as Redington & Howe. The dealers have thorough- ly satisfied themselves that they cannot. for there is not a house in Central New York that will agree to take the great quantities of Musical Goods that Redington & Howe buy. Consequently. others bare to buy on a higher tariff. It is on the same principle that Stewart of New York forced a neighboring house to withdraw. He could sell at a profit, cheaper than bis competitor could bny. Mesers. Redington & Howe, have similar purchasing facilities. Indeed. they can justly be called the " Stewarts " of the Music trade in Cen- tral New York.
