A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.

4A NEAT little pamphlet, entitled "A Visit from Our Country Visitors," recently published, with illustrations, in Columbus, Ohio, has this to say of Hockett Brothers & Puntenney, of that lively town:
6"He that hath no music in his soul is fit for treason, strategy and spoils," remarked Harry one afternoon as we were passing 46 North High street and the delightful strains of a popular air, well rendered on a piano of great power and brilliancy, caught our ear. "It shall never be said that I missed such an opportunity as this," chimed in Dora, and before we knew it we were in the music store of Hockett Brothers & Puntenney, the leading music dealers of the city.
8Having heard so much of the famous Steck and Everett pianos, which are universally indorsed by the most celebrated artists as the world's greatest productions, I was not sorry to have an opportunity to examine them thoroughly, and discovered that while their exterior differed little from other high grade instruments, in tone there was a decided difference and that I could easily pick out their sweet and full rounded notes from all others. My cousins were delighted with the handsome showing of pianos of various manufactures, as well as organs, and were informed by the obliging gentleman who showed us through that they carried all the most celebrated makes in both high and medium grades, and that second-hand instruments in both square and upright cases could be purchased from $40 to $250.

881.—A complete history of music.
892.—A series of six colored chronological charts, the ingenious and practical usefulness of which for purposes of reference, and historical study have secured for the author so much deserved praise.
903.—Excellent photogravure portraits of nearly one hundred eminent musicians, from Palestina and Orlando Luis to the youngest of great modern composers, Moritz Moszkowski.
914.—Extended biographies of over fifty of the most prominent characters in music, past and present.
925.—Carefully prepared analyses of over two hundred characteristic works, showing their form, content and technical features.
936.—Over fifty specimen compositions for historical and artistic illustration from the best foreign editions.
947.—Complete Dictionary of Technical Terms and Expressions.

97Each Dictionary word gives the foreign pronunciation of every difficult word, phonetically spelled, so that absolute accuracy may be instantly acquired. The work is introduced exclusively by subscription and is securing a sale quite unprecedented in the history of musical literature.
