Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authentic and Comprehensive Guide and History of Boston Within twenty years, have been highly important, and have kept pace with the rapid progress of general musical education in civilized countries, especially in the United States, where elementary knowledge of music is taught gratuitously in the public schools. Thus a general taste for music is cultivated by a knowledge of it, and among us there has been exhibited quite a surprising proficiency in vocal and instrumental music. This general knowledge of and taste for music, has rapidly developed the manufacture of musical Instruments, increased competition, and stimulated the inventive powers of musical mechanical artists. Especially has this been the case in the manufacture of Piano-Fortes and Cabinet Organs, which in this country are made more perfectly than in any other, and are now largely exported to European and nearly all other foreign countries. In the march of improvement, the manufacturers of Cabinet Organs have outstripped even the makers of Piano-Fortes. This fact has been most emphatically and famously demonstrated by the superlative and pre-eminent excellence of the instruments produced by the great New England Organ Co., 1299 Washington Street, Boston, during the last seven years. Their career has been one unbroken round of triumphs, ever since their origin. They have originated, patented, and made widely renowned a greater number of and more important improvements, in the mechanism and cases, than all the other concerns combined, and have attained the foremost rank in a much shorter time than it was acquired in by any predecessors. Fortunately for that Company, they have retained exclusive control of their most important patented inventions, whose popularity in both worlds has secured to them an immense and steadily increasing traffic. With best machinery, materials, facilities, artists and artisans, most perfect system and discipline, in all departments of their model factory, through practical knowledge on the part of the proprietors, and a perpetual zeal for introducing new improvements, they have) accomplished more in seven years than any of their rivals effected in thrice that time.
