It was thought ut first thut the new

bo Impossible. Tho building Itself Is
practically complete but It is not com

Will Be Known as The VanDyke
Piano Manufacturing Co.
'The Keller & VanDyke company have
made application for a charte." and aro
about to incorporate under the firm
name of The VanDyke Piano Manufac
turing company.
The otilcers of the company will be
W. P. VanDyke, president and treas
urer; Arthur D. VanDyke, vice presi
dent; Arthur L. Collins, pecretary; Jos
eph Keller, superintendent and general
manager. Mr. Keller was the general
manager of the old company and Mr.
AV. P. VanDyke its financial head.
These gentlemcu are exceptionally well
equipped for the oillees they aro to All.
Arthur '). VanDyke will open a
branch je in Worcester, to take
care of me Eastern trade. Mr. Collins,
who has been the Eastern representa
tive of the firm, and who has built up
a very large New England business for
them, will, besides attending to his du
ties as secretary, take charge of tho
local trade.
Mr. J. L. L. Travis, who has very
successfully repiesuntod the firm for
the past two years in tho West, will
continue with the now firm. Mr. P. J.
Quinn, who has been representing the
factory locally, will fill that position, as
heretofore.
The success of tho Keller & Van
Dyke company has been phenomenal.
Starting a little more than three years
ago with a very limited output, they
soon outgrew their manufacturing fa
cilities and wens forced to double their
capacity. They are now putting out
about 150 pianos a month. This is
a more eloquent recommendation of the
quality of the instruments that tliey
manufneturo than anything that could
bo said for them, but every day tho
firm receives the most Haltering testi
monials from those who aro using their
pianos.
The people of this vicinity weie a lit
tle Mow at ili-fat In patronizing them,
but they are beginning to learn that
they can receive very good treatment
and the best of satisfaction at tho fac
tory ware-rooms and notwithstanding
the unsettled labor conditions of this
section, their local trade has grown
very rapidly tho last year. Tho fact
that the output from this factory is,
porhaps, doing more to advertise the
city than any of its other products is
being appreciated. The pianos made
by this linn, to go Into homes scattered
over tho country from Maine to Cali
