tions in all sections as more favorable than
ever before. There has been a steadily in-
creasing call for the Regina products every
month for a long time past. The experiment
of placing the retail Regina trade in this city
with John Wanamaker has proved to be en-
tirely successful.
Mr. Furber informed The Review that an
important development in Regina music box
construction had recently been perfected and
would be ready for the market shortly. The
improvement in question marks a distinct ad-
vance in the music box industry of the United
States.
"PROVE A HALIBI, SAMIVEL"
not only in the orchestra, but in military and
brass bands, Boosey & Co. have brought out
a series of models of these instruments, in
which the design and workmanship are of
the same standard of excellence as in their
well-known brass and reed instruments. The
keys of these instruments are forged, and the
keyrods, or barrels, are bushed with steel,
so that the point screws work upon steel.
WULSCHNER'S GREAT LINE.
Their Products Have Won a High Standing in the
Trade—Splendidly Equipped for a Big Trade
During 1902.
The Wulschner Music Co., who have built
up a magnificent trade as importers and job-
bers of musical merchandise in Indianapolis,
Ind., remarked in a recent report to The Re-
view that 1901 was one of the best years in
their history, the fall and Christmas trade
being phenomenal.
This is the merited reward of enterprise
and correct business methods. The Wulsch-
ner Co. have never- been content to rest on
their oars. They have been adding to their
various lines all the time, both in the matter
of quality and quantity. A number of novel-
ties have been introduced which have won
great favor among their customers, and it is
little wonder that their traveling men are
meeting with such great success during their
present trips.
A splendid idea of the extent of the Wulsch-
ner business may be gleaned from their new
catalogue recently issued. It is a most com-
plete publication in every way and contains
practically every desirable line of musical
goods obtainable—foreign and domestic.
Their assortment of band and orchestral in-
struments is particularly extensive, while in
instruments such as accordeons, concertinas,
harmonicas and everything that comes under
the heading of "small goods," dealers will
find all they need in their business.
That the success which the Wulschner Co.
nave achieved during the past year will con-
tinue during 1902 is obvious. The same go-
ahead policy which have won them their pres-
ent position in the trade will be continued,
hence the same expansion and development
is bound to occur.
Readers of Pickwick Papers are familiar
with the simple plan which the elder Mr.
Welter suggested to Sam as a way to help
Mr. Pickwick out of the breach of promise

Sun, the alibi is again to become conspicuous,
this time in a case of contemporaneous human
interest and involving more serious questions
than those which were raised, in fiction, to
be decided by Sergeant Buzzfuzz. The Sun
