PIANO WORKS CLOSE.
REDUCED PRODUCTION MAKES COST TOO HEAVY. London, Feb. 4. Brinsinead’s have closed their piano factory in London owing to the cost of production. The principals informed employees that they have been carrying on at a heavy loss, employing twenty-six hands on each piano compared with six prior to the war. The firm does not intend to recommence manufacture. They say the state of affairs is due to the labour tendency to force up prices until it is impossible to manufacture.—(United Service.)
