    This extensive establishment is located on the south-west corner of Liberty and North streets.  The building is three stories high, and covers an area of 80 by 30 feet, independent of a building in the rear.  The first story is devoted to making boxes and cases for shipping the instruments.  The second story to tuning and a general sales room.  The third is filled with a large stock of finished cases, and there too the cases are varnished, polished and finished.  Mr. Whitney has conducted the business successfully for about nine years, sending out a large number of superior instruments which bear comparison with the best manufactured anywhere.  He employs constantly a large number of hands, and is about to enlarge further his facilities to compete with foreign manufacturers.
