| TEXT | The musical tastes of a community are a sure index of its refinement and culture, and we are safe in asserting that in no city is this more evident than in New York. This city possesses many establishments for fostering the musical tastes of the community, and it is in a great measure due to houses of which that of Messrs. M. J. Paillard & Co. serves as a prominent type, that those desired results have been attained. This house was originally founded by the late Mr. M. J. Paillard, who arrived in New York in 1849, and commenced business at No. 80 Nassau Street, and afterwards at No. 21 Maiden Lane, as an importer of watches and musical boxes, but in a short time relinquished the former and devoted his attention almost exclusively to the importation of musical boxes. The late Mr. M. J. Paillard was brother of the two members of the present firm of C. Paillard & Co., Sainte-Croix, Switzerland. One of the latter firm is a gentleman of great inventive ability and genius, who is continually inventing valuable improvements in musical boxes. Mr. A. E. Paillard of the New York house is the son of one of the members of the above named firm. In their present perfected state these boxes have gradually become enlarged, and even attained the size and proportions of an upright piano. Some have many cylinders, the voices of many instruments, surprising volume, melody and harmony, and play over one hundred tunes with singular accuracy, many of which are the intricate and popular productions of the master composers. The factory is located at Sainte-Croix, Switzerland, and the trade now extends throughout the world, their customers ran king somewhat in the following order, viz., England, the United States, France, Germany and Russia. The different styles and names of these musical articles are the " Ordinary Box," the " Mandoline," the " Expressive," the " Forte-Piano," "Organcleide" "Quatuor" and the "Sublime Harmony." Of all these the most popular are the Mandoline, Expressive, and Sublime Harmony. These musical instruments are absolutely unsurpassed by those of any other maker, and have achieved a world-wide fame in regard to their tone, volume, and sweetness, as well as with regard to their durability. The individual members of the firm are Messrs. A. E. and Geo. A. Paillard, the latter a native of Brooklyn, both of whom are held in the highest estimation in mercantile and social life for their many excellent qualities and strict integrity, and justly merit the success which has attended their well directed efforts. |
