this exhibit stands unequaled in beauty
of construction, and Cincinnati has just
cause to be proud of the liberality of The
Joseph Live R. Peebles’ Sons Company and The
Oak Distillery Company.
These companies are no tyros in their
business. The Live Oak Distillery Com
pany has been in operation for twenty
five years and The Joseph R. Peebles’ Sons
Company for fifty-five years, and the
character of the gentlemen at the head of
these two large business concerns is suffl
eient guarantee that any order intrusted
to their care will receive the best atten
tion.

To adequately convey to the reader the
magnitude of this establishment, the ac¬
curacy of detail, the immensity and va¬
riety of stock, the promptitude and har¬
mony of conduct and unimpeachable posl
tiver.ess of dispatch for which the Chat
field & Wooas Company has become fam¬
ous, would tax the descriptive pow’ers of a
Sir Walter Scott or the journalistic acu¬
men of a Joseph Howard, However, a
few cold facts, hastily culled by a disinter¬
ested spectator during his brief stay in
Cincinnati, bearing on the enterprise and
business activity displayed by this remark¬
able firm, may not be devoid of interest.
The success- attained by the Chatfield &
Woods Company “goes without saying,”
but the most puerile idea of the means by
which this success has been reached can
only be grasped by retrogression and in¬
vestigation of the inception, organization
and results achieved, and by a description
of the persistent energy and indomitable
courage of the Messrs. Chatfield & Woods,
aided and assisted by their sons, the your -
er members jf the house.
In 1852, William H. Chatfield, a native of
Ohio, destitute of insignia in the commer¬
cial world, commenced business as a paper
merchant in Cincinnati, Like all men on
whom the mantle of eminence is subse¬
quently to descend, he possessed little but
stanch, earnest business tact, a patriotic
love of his country and a wholesome ab¬
horrence of all frivolities threatening com¬
mercial integrity.
For seven years, and at a time when
money and laDor were synonymous, he
fought the great battle of life, gaining
yearly the confidence of the mercantile
community of the west. In 1859 he formed
a partnership with Mr. William Woods.
This coalition (congenial to great business ds
perceptions) was one of strength, Mr.
Woods was no tyro, but had been for
twenty years a partner of John Shillito in

The bouse was established in 1889 - by
Charles H. Heine, a young man of ability,
who had gained<a knowledge of the busi

was
and Main 3treets, but in October, 1891, the
business was reorganized and moved to the
routheast corner of Second and Main
streets. It was incorporated as the Charles
j-j. Heine Company, with a capital stock
of $60,000. Mr. Heine become president and
Mr. Stephen Robinson, an experienced bus
i ne ss man, vice president. Upon the un
fortunate death of Mr. Heine Mr. Robinson
became president and Mr. John H. Dicker
son > a young man of promise, secretary
and treasurer. The success of their busi
ness demanded larger and more commodi
ous warerooms, and in 1895 the firm moved
into their present handsome and spacious
building, located on the southwest corner
of S e c° nd an d Main. Here they occupy
the entire building, which is five stories in
height, 164 feet long and fifty feet of front
on Main street.
This firm carries a large and complete
stock of staple and fancy groceries, cigars
and tobaccos, employing five traveling
salesmen, and their trade now extends

years alone possessed the secret of the
preparation of glycerin. He has been en

1853 and the superiority of his productions
have won for him world-wide fame and
medals for superior excellence wherever ex¬

the Centennial exposition, the Columbian

The works of the Gordon Chemical Com¬
pany at Cincinnati are being constantly
enlarged to keep pace with their complete increasing
trade and one of the most of
their kind in the world.
Mr Gordon is a most interesting talker
and has contributed various articles upon
this subject to the public press. He is a
man of progressive ideas and has just
formed a company for the manufacture of
wood alcohol at Round Mountain, Ala.
He is president of the company, which has
a capital of $100,000.
SUPPLEMENT.
has proven an able successor of an able
sire. It is no wonder then that the ex¬
perience of William Woods, and the energy
of Albert H. Chatfield, assisted by John
S. Woods and Harry F. Woods, have made
the Chatfield & Woods Company a power
in the land, out-distancing all competitors
and dominating the great industry it rep¬
resents in the commercial universe.
The edifice in which this gigantic busi¬
ness is transacted is a handsome structure,
numbered 347-349 and 351 West Fourth street
and 322 Central avenue, Cincinnati, O. It
is seven stories in height, and has a floor
space vast warehouse of 70,000 feet, Irrespective of the
used for surplus stock.
In this building is to be found paper of all
qualities, weights and sizes, also printers’
supplies to meet ail requirements, or if
not in stock, facilities for manufacturing
for the purchaser on the shortest notice.
Cincinnati is singularly well situated as
regards the paper manufacturing indus¬
try, as the many celebrated mills of the
Miami valley, whose product this company
handles, are just without its gates.
It, therefore, behooves those interested
in this inquiry to possess themselves of a
catalogue for 1895-96, published by the Chat¬
field & Woods Company, and note the va
riety set forth therein before placing or
ders elsewhere.
The Chatfield & Woods Company Is com¬
posed of the following officers: William
Woods, president: A. H. Chatfield, vice
F. president; John S. Woods, treasurer; Harry
Woods, secretary.
Mr. A. H. Chatfield, Mr. John S. Woods
and Mr. Harry F. Woods have grown with
the business attendant on this great en
terprise, and the success attained by them
under the able tuition of William Woods is
sufficient to guarantee the stability of this
firm and retain the popularity incepted by
its great progenitors.
With inception and organization out¬
„ lined, ^ let , us corxre to practical results. It
is a fact founded on statistics that the
Chatfield & Woods Company, in addi¬
tion to its immense business in paper and
printers’ supplies, manufactures 6,000,000
grocery bags daily, 25,000,000 plain and 12,
000,000 printed flour sacks annually; that Its
sales amount to $2,500,000 annually, necessi¬
tating the employment of many railroad
cars daily, numerous traveling salesmen
and an army ox employes In clerical and
other work in its warehouses and sales¬
rooms.
Throughout the Mississippi valley and
the southern states the famous products of
the Chatfield & Woods Company are house
hold words, but in no section of the cen¬
tral states of_ concern
without representatives. The
of experience and energy has made the
position it now holds- and the
generosity with which its efforts have been
met by the southern and eastern nrer
chants is proof that the city of Cincinnati
possesses the greatest paper establishment
in the world,

THE GRAND HOTEL.
Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, October 14,
1895.—Hon. William Addison Pitt, Junior
Army and Naval Club, Piccadilly, London,
England.—My Dear Son: Why do I not
hear from you? I write you full particulars
of my American tour without response. 1
am in the enjoyment of good health at
the present moment. The fare at the
Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, is the nearest
approximation to home felicitude 1 have
experienced in the United States of Ameri¬
ca. To describe the magnificence of this
building would overtax my literary ability,
but 1 will endeavor to give you some points
and leave you to verify my ideas of the
present. The rotunda of this hotel is the
finest my experience has yet encountered,
and the staircase leading from it to the
parlors on the first floor is fac simile of
the Caesar palace at Home, and you know
what that is. Colonel Shears and Mr.
Corre, proprietors of this hotel, honored
me with a call last evening. You will find
it to your advantage to cultivate the ac¬
quaintance of these gentlemen during your
forthcoming visit to Cincinnati. The refine¬
ment and acumen displayed in the arrange¬
ment of the hotel is fully borne out by
their personality. Colonel Shears, who is
the practical head of affairs, took me over
the building and gave me an insight into

August last has added a luster unequaled
by any hotel in Cincinnati. New and ex¬
pensive carpets, luxurious furniture and
artistic embellishments bear evidence of the
desire of the management to make this es¬
tablishment a home instead of a hetero¬
geneous caravanserie. Every device has
been employed that modern ingenuity could
suggest or liberality provide conducive to

The T, I, Mock Carriage Company.
Cincinnati is known throughout the
United States as being the commercial cen¬
ter of many of the largest manufacturing
establishments and wholesale houses of
their kind in the country.
In the line of carriage and wagon manu¬
facturing Cincinnati leads the world—from
100,000 to 125,000 being made there yearly.
The T. T. Haydock Carriage Company
easily leads them all in this line of produc¬
tion. The company was established in -1876,
and since that time has been in active
operation. * It has a paid-up capital stock
of $200,000, making 12,000 vehicles yearly and
employing during the season over 400 men.
Their business embraces an entire line of
buggies, surreys, phaetons, carriages and
road wagons. A handsome catalogue show¬
ing seventy-two different styles is mailed
on application. Their goods are shipped
all over the United States, South America
and various parts of the world. While
visiting the company a reporter of The
Constitution was shown various export or¬
ders, one being from Cape Town, South
Africa.
The following extract from a late issue
of The Cincinnati Enquirer explains itself
and is worthy of mention here as a special
order lately executed by this firm:
“It is a little jewel of a three-spring
phaeton and was built expressly for the
Princess Zanie Sultane, the sister of the
sultan of Turkey.
“Some sixty days ago the order was re¬
ceived from Constantinople through pur¬
veyors to her excellency. It is purely a
Cincinnati product and in its construction
the Turkish colors predominate. It will
start on its long journey in a few days.” ^
Visitors to the Atlanta exposition snould
not miss the magnificent exhibit of this
firm. It is located in the transportation
building and is in charge of Mr. J. A.
Sage, the southern representative, who is
widely known in the south and ably repre¬
sents the large business enjoyed by his
company in this section. The Cincinnati
factory is under the direct management of
Mr. E. B. Piepho, who has an experience
of sixteen years in this business. He is
the vice president and general manager of
the company, widely known in the carriage
Industry and also as one of the noted busi¬
ness men of the Queen City.
The I, 4 E, Greenwald Company.
The I. & E. Greenwald Company, of Cin¬
cinnati, was established in 1847 and is the
oldest and largest foundry and machine
works in this vicinity. Their works ere a
vast emporium of mechanical industry,
thoroughly furnished in every department
and complete in detail, with all appliances
that mechanical skill and ingenuity can de¬
vise for facilitating perfection and dis¬
patch in the manufacture of engines and
other general machinery for which the com¬
pany has become famous.
Special attention has been given to mill¬
gearing of all kinds and it is claimed to
have the largest variety of patterns in the
country, which suggests in itself an im¬
mense outlay of capital.
The most noted feature of effort—and il¬
lustrating to a wonderful degree the great
results that follow long identification and
exhaustive study—is found in the Green¬
wald Automatic Cut-off Engines, which,
during the number of years they lave
been on the market, have called forth the
unqualified indorsement of the leading en¬
gineers of the day
The business of the company is generally
that of machinery and foundry business,
in wnich they carry complete i’nes. The
erection of steam power plants t omplete,
however, is one of their main features.

With the interests of the younger mem¬
bers of your family borne in mind, why
should any one wanting a piano, as a first
purchase, buy a poor and inferior instru¬ j
ment? Supposably, people do not buy
more than one piano in a generation. The
Everett piano is built for use and constant
wear, and stands bravely all usage from
the time the child begins taking lessons
until both child and piano have attained
an honorable old age. Why buy a poor |
piano even if your children are only to
listen to it? Why accustom their ears to ;
dissonance? If they are to be taught,
why have them struggle with keys which
have a stiff or unresponsive action? The
very best piano is none too good for the
youngest player.
There are pianos at all prices. You may
buy a piano with an elaborate outside and
little inside of it You have spent your
money for, say, fairly good cabinet work,
but for nothing else. The fine case of the
watch is not always the criterion of a good
timekeeper. In the United States we have
all the variations of climate. We run
over the whole of the thermometrical and
hydroscopic scale. In the Everett piano
there is no fragment of wood which has
not taken long months of preparation be¬
fore it enters into the body of the piano.
If a piano is to stand work, Infinite precau¬
tions are necessary. A good piano is the
resultant of more than a year’s continu¬
ous work, where each day some part has
been subjected to the closest scrutiny.
All the hard wood used in tiie Everett
piano cases is cut from selected logs at the
company’s mill in New Hampshire. There
it remains in the rough for about a year,
so as to acquire natural seasoning. Then
it is shipped to the finishing factory of the
Everett Fiano Company, in Boston, where
it is subjected to kiln drying. Two months
is none too long to bring about this per¬
fect seasoning. Then, after a second se¬
lection, such wood as has stood the most
rigid examination is cut into the proper
shapes and forms, and now begins the
building up of the case of the piano. When
the parts of the case are brought together,
then these are veneered. It is not suffi¬
cient that the one side of the parts making
up the case should be veneered. Both
sides, and parts of the case which are
never to be seen, are both cross-branded
and veneered; otherwise there might be
warping. Then comes the work on the
perpendicular beams known as the skele¬
ton, which, in the upright piano, are found
at the back of the instrument, This skele
ton must ba massive and Unyielding. To
it is attached the sound board, the soul of
the Instrument, which is formed of a large
sheet of the finest spruce, carefully match¬
ed and glued together, with ribs fitted on
the back to give it the proper convex form.
The iron plate is then placed over the sound
board. This plate is a carefully made
casting, and it must be strong enough to
stand a dead strain of not less than forty
five tons—that is, a tension or dead tug of
90,000 pounds, which the piano has to bear
all the time. It is placed over the sound
board and large screws are used to fasten
it and the sound board to the skeleton. On
the upper part of the skeleton is carried
the wrest plank, and over that wrest plank,
In the history of piano making, years of
toil and experiment have been spent. It
is here that the tuning pins rest. These
pins must hold their own, so as not to
give under the string tension, and yet not
to be so stiffly imbedded as to be incap¬
able of being turned by the tuner. This
wrest plank in the Everett piano is made
of eight one-quarter of,an inch veneers of
the hardest rock maple. Then the string¬
ing of the instrument takes place and the
tension now begins. Before the wires are

The Greatest Bell Foundry in
America.
One of the greatest attractions at the
Cotton States and International exposition
is the largest chimes of bells ever exhibited,
aggregating about 26,006 pounds. The bells
are composed of best brands of new ingot
copper and imported East India tin ex
clusively, made in most careful manner and
oest class of workmanship throughout and
are the production of the E. W. Vanauzen
Company, bell founders, Cincinnati, O. The
price of the chimes is $5,000, delivered, put
up complete in church tower and inaugu¬
rated.
Their famous chimes at the world’s fair,
Chicago, consisted of ten bells, and ipon
them were played several thousand differ¬
ent tunes. They were awarded a medal of
superior merit. To a similar set exhibited
at the Midwinter exposition, San Francisco,
Cal., in 1894, was awarded a special diploma
and gold medal for superior excellence.
This chime at the great Cotton States and
International exposition is heavier than
either of the others referred to, of greater
compass and in many respects superior to
any chime of bells ever exhibited.
The undertaking which stamps this firm
the greatest bell foundry in America is that
of planning a monster bell of 30,000 pounds
and carrying the same to a successful re
suit, both as to the size and the weight and
the note for which it was calculated. The
designing of this bell as to the size, weight,
shape and tone and the empirical rule of
its construction has emanated from Mr.
F. P. Lotz, the manager, who gave this
matter the most careful study and calcula¬
tion. The carrying out of the mechanical
part of this work to its successful result
is the work jointly of Mr. E. W. Vanduzen
and his son, Mr. George W. Vanduzen, and
attests in a remarkable degree the skill
and experience of these two gentlemen and
their rightful title to the claim of bell
founders of the highest ability.
There are some larger bells in the world,
but they rank simply as huge castings.
There are none so large as this that are
swung like ordinary church bells are, and
as this one will be, and it is poised so well
in the hangings that it only requires two
men to ring it.
The firm have, at great expense,, intro¬
duced into their business the most unsur¬
passed facilities for making the highest
grade of work in the most economical man¬
ner and are thus enabled to produce at the
lowest cost possible the very highest class
of bells known to the bell founder’s art.
Their sales extend from Maine to Mexico
and from Florida to the Northwest terri¬
tory, also to Canada, South America, West
Indies, India, Africa, Sandwich islands,
Italy, Turkey and elsewhere.

The subject of the proper heating and ven¬
tilation of private and public buildings has
only in the past few years been receiving
the consideration which its importance de¬
mands. The cost of securing such a sys¬
tem is small and the benefits are great.
That the progressive people of the south are
now keeping abreast of the times in this
direction is evidenced by the numerous res¬
idences, churches, schools and other build¬
ings in which the celebrated Peck-Smead
system of heating and ventilation is used,
furnishing pure fresh warm air and at such
a reasonable cost that few can afford to be
without it. They are specialists in their
line and in order to guarantee their work
have their their own skilled mechanics to erect
work, no matter in what part of the
country the work is located.
This system was adopted recently for the
United States post office building at Colum¬
bus, Ga. Wherever they have erected work
they have always been given preference on
other work, which proves the great merit
of their system and superior workmanship.
The Peck-Smead company’s home office is
at Cincinnati, O. Mr. George Peck is pres¬
ident and Mr. Laurence W. Hammond, an
Alabamian who i3 well known throughout
the south, is the secretary and treasurer.
Their branch offices are located at Atlanta,
Memphis, Houston, Anniston and Lynch¬
burg, Va.

of varnish are applied, only to ie rubbed
off and succeeded by others until the flow¬
ing, or last coat, is put on. Now the ac
tion is put in place, and here the delicate
mechanism of .he Everett piano ntfanu
factory never is at fault.
So far the piano has gone through its
materialistic creation. Now comes the
critical work—the putting of a speaking
voice into the action, the wires and the
ivory keys. There is a whole romance to
be written about the piano hammer. You
can make a Nasmyth steam hammer so
strong that it will crush the solid iron
shaft of a steamship at a blow, or so gen
tie as to merely crack the shell of an al
mond. The tap of the piano hammer
must be endowed with a like human deli
cacy, and this relationship between the
hammer and the Key is gained only by the
nicest adjustment in regulating. Next is
the voicing, a treatment of the hammers
in such a way as will tend to obviate any
break in the scale and to produoe the
same tonal quality from the lower bass to
the upper treble of the piano. It is a pro¬
cess winch requires nne judgment artistic as to
tonal euects, a 1 id an accurate and
ear.
Then comes the final work of '‘overlook¬
ing.’' Then comes uie last tuning, and
men there is one piuno, and it has taken
over a year to maae it.
Excellence ot work can only be attain¬
ed in piano making by subdivision
of labor, with uie selection of
sKilled workmen. The Everett factory is a
buiimug six stories hign, Uiree hundred
feet in length and occupies an entire square
on Albany street, between Waretiam and
Malden streets, Eos ton, Mass. The lactory
occupies an actual uoor space of three
acres tor uie ordinary work ot piano mak¬
ing with additional buildings for the mak¬
ing of cases and skeletons.
With a wealth of light and air, supplied
with the most approved ventilating und
hot air system by winch an equable tem¬
perature is maintained in uie coldest
weather, fitted with the best lire extin¬
guishing devices and the best systems of
electric ligiiinig and sanitary appliances,
it is no wonder Uiat the Everett factory
stands as a model among the pt
auu factorles of the world in
regard to tho completeness of the
bunding Itself and of every appur
tenancy and modern device in machinery
for improving the quality of and increas¬
ing the regularity ot Us product. While it
is a seemingly broad statement to make,
yet it goes without dispute, mat the enure
Everett plant as a piano lactory is nearer
perfection than is any piano factory in the
world.
If the Everett piano has the purest, tho
sweetest, the most brilliant of tones, pro¬
ducing ail the shadings piano playing culls
for, if it is effecuve as a voice accom¬
paniment or responds to the touch of the
soloist, it has added to it still something
more, and that is the Plectra-Phyiie at¬
tachment. With that attachment those who
have an upright Everett piano can produce
tiie effects of the mandolin, guitar, harp
and zither at will.
So fine an instrument requires a hand¬
some case. The beauty of some pianos is
only “case deep.” It is much easier to
make a handsome case than it is to put
music into it. A fairly good mechanic can

THE COLLEGE" 0T JUS1L
-OF
CINCINNATI, OHIO.
In 1878 Colonel George Ward Nichols and
Mr. R. R. Springer called the attention of
a few of their friends to the fact that there
was no provision in Cincinnati for the at¬
tainment of the higher education in music
which was attainable in the old world.
Good private teachers had always found ap
preciation in the Queen City, but there was
no musical atmosphere, such as is produced
by a large concourse of professors and stu¬
dents of the various branches of music.
There were no facilities for instruction In
normal classes, solfeggio classes, ensemble
classes, prima vista classes or orchestra
classes, and no opportunity for the critical
study of harmony, composition or orchestra¬
tion. For the study of the organ, the no¬
blest of instruments, there were no ad¬
vantage;. whatever.
Under the circumstances of this felt need
these gentlemen, with their associates, de
termined to create the atmosphere and fur¬
nish the required facilities by the adoption
of a very simple plan. It was, in brief, to
bring to this city from all parts of the
musical world the most competent and sue- -
cessful teachers; to pay them handsome sal¬
aries, and by all proper means to make the
position of a professor therein so attractive
and desirable as to command the services of
the most eminent men.
It was decided that the college should be
strictly an eleemosynary institution, in
which, by means of a handsome endow¬
ment, the ownership of suitable buildings
and exemption from taxation, a musical ed¬
ucation of the highest and most compre¬
hensive character should be furnished at a
mimimum of pecuniary expense. On this
simple basis the College of Music was
founded and has flourished. By its charter
the college is not allowed to make money.
Its object is to make musicians.
The musical curriculum of the college is
aosolutely complete. There is no depart¬
ment of musical education which is not be¬
ing successfully taught within its walls, and
in class instructions as many branches are
taught as in all the other musical institu¬
tions in the world combined.
The Jung Brewing Company
This company is one of the largest and
most enterprising in the brewing business,
and has one of the best equipped plants in
the United States.
The company has a paid up capital stock
of $1,000,000 and Its business extends over
the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. In each
of these states it has branches where a
supply of beer is kept in cold storage, and
thus can be delivered as desired in as good
condition as at the home manufactory.
Their employing sales are large over number 100,000 barrels of yearly)
a men in its
manufacture, and the brewery is supplied
with the lastest machinery and the space
occupied has to be increased annually, as
the excellence of their beer forces upon
them extra space.
Another branch of this product is assum¬
ing large proportions, viz., the bottled beer
of brands—thus, the Jung Company, and is made in sever
al “Pilsener” is pale, mild and
exhilarating and especially recommended for
use with lunch or dinner. Their ‘‘Old
Lager” Is a veritable liquid bread and rec¬
ommended by many physicians for invalids
etc. Their “Aurora Export” is a brilliant
medium heavy beer, guaranteed to keep it*
any climate for years.
The products of this company, whether in
kegs or bottles, bearing their labels, can
always be relied upon to contain a pure,
healthful and delicious beverage, and this
can be classed as one of the prominent
breweries of the United States that have
brought about the popularity of lager beer
as the American drink “par excellence.”
The company is also brewing ales and
porter of brilliant and sparkling qualities,
which are placed on the market in original
packages or bottles.
A company of this magnitude needs a di¬
recting head of great executive and fore¬
seeing ability. Mr. Alvin Carl, president and
general manager of this company, is not
only well posted in his own business, but
ranks as one of the ablest and most promi¬
nent of the successful business men of Cin¬
cinnati.
