Steinway & Sons’ confidential circular informs all Steinway dealers that Theodore Thomas and his Grand Orchestra begin their Concert Tour in Boston and follow with performances in the larger cities of the United States, accompanied by celebrated pianist Anna Mehlig. Theodore Thomas agrees to mention that the troupe uses Steinway & Sons pianos exclusively – in the footer of the programs and in the advertisement of the concerts in the newspapers of every visited city. Steinway & Sons provides the tuner, Mr. Lubker.
