Hail Columbia In England

Under an Anu Arbor date, the Detroit Evening News of July 28, gives the following relative to au Ann Arbor firm that never sleeps : "Ann Arbor is becoming a great musical center in more ways tlian one. The University Musical society is making it famous by giving annually superb concerts which bring together musical people from all over Michigan ; and the Ann Arbor Organ Co. is giving it a national reputation for the excellent quality of cabinet organ manufactured here. The name, Ann Arbor organ, muy suggest to niany the great Columbian organ soon to be placed in University hall but to thousands that title nieans a handsome parlor organ of marvelously sweet tone, so constructed as to resist effectnally the sudden cliinatic changes both of lliis country and of others ranch more ruinous to instruments of this class. The Ann Arbor Organ Co. now purposes to enter the lists where Yale and the Vigilant have failed and win laurels for America froni the triumphant Britishers before the season is over. Mr. Lew H. Clements, manager of the company, sails for England Aug. 4, to increase the demand for the organ in that market. "We'll play 'Yankee Doodle' for Johnny Buil in his own capital and make him dance to it," said the manager cheerfully. "Johnny knows a good thing when he sees it, aud our organ will soon be on his list of American products that he must have. It will soon be the regular thiug for l.im to sit in his Grand Rapids easy chair', after a dinner of American roast beef, and go to sleep over his California wine listening to Miss Britannia playing 'God Save 'the Queen' on the Ann Arbor organ." "Why do you go abroad when there is so mach to do here?" "We are not slighting Uncle Sam," retorted Clement. "See that stack of letters from Michigan. Michigan dealers have learned that our organ isja seller, and while they don't exactly fall over each other to get territory, we do not have to go out in this state auy more and ask men to handle our organs. Frequent applications come to us for the agency which we are always glad toconsider, and we still have some unoceupied territory. The organs make friends rapidly when once started, and we already have it started in many states, and in a number of foreign couutries. We propose it shall be known all round the world." This company is composed of live business men, who have a record for carrying out their projects."
