| TEXT | Silas P. Hinds, the senior member of this firm, began the music business in New York city in 1844; subsequently he removed to Newark, and his son, Mr. William H. Hinds, was admitted to partnership in 1870, which he retained until his death, November, 1882. The business has grown and prospered until now the house ranks among the foremost in the land. The warerooms are located at Nos. 2i and 23 Bank Street, are 40x100 feet in dimensions, and here is displayed a great variety of grand, square, and upright pianos, with which they are filled. They also deal in organs, musical instruments of all kinds, sheet music, music and instruction books, etc., and do tuning and repairing. The manufactory is located in the rear of the main building fronting on Academy Street, is a substantial brick structure, and embraces every department, from the drying rooms to those where the finished instruments are tuned and tested by careful experts. A score of experienced workmen are regularly employed, while as many more find constant work outside the factory in the making of parts of the instruments. Mr. Silas P. Hinds is the superintendent of the mechanical departments, a gentleman whose natural qualifications for so responsible a position have been supplemented by years of practical study and observation, which has culminated in the production of the unrivaled telephone piano, of which he is the sole manufacturer and patentee. This establishment is essentially a New Jersey institution, and, with ample capital, its annual business transactions reach a quarter of a million of dollars. Its elegant productions are forwarded to almost every portion of the known world. The wonderful improvement of the telephone piano, its peculiarly elegant appearance, the clear and resonant quality imparted to its tones, destine it to supersede all other makes that are claimed to be first-class. Mr. Silas P. Hinds is a native of New Hampshire. |
