will find this to meet their views and give the
greatest satisfaction. Dealers are having a big
success with the line.
"In a stage whisper," continued Mr. Buegel-
eisen, "we would advise the trade that the sale of
our Monarch and Lester accordeons has actual-
ly been tremendous, and we find it difficult to
keep stock. Nevertheless, our shipments from
abroad are heavy, but at the same time we would
advise our friends to send in their orders early,
so as to have them given proper attention, and
deliveries made in time for the holiday trade.
This is in the form of a gentle reminder, and
should be duly noted.
SHOULD HELP HOLIDAY TRADE.
Dealers who desire something entirely unique
and effective to attract attention of holiday buy-
ers will be interested in the advertisement of the
Tammany Organet Co., of Stamford, Conn., which
appears in a neighboring page. These instru-
ments appeal to a wide constituency by reason of
their musical worth, and original constructive
features. They can be handled with profit, and
an excellent trade built up if pushed with any
degree of enthusiasm. It may be advisable to
write the manufacturers and get fuller details
regarding these instruments, which are exceed-
ingly meritorious and deserve consideration.

CH. WEISS HONORED.
Ch. Weiss, manufacturer of harmonicas, Tros-
singen, Germany, has been offered the nomina-
tion for the German Reichstag as a candidate of
the Pan-German party. The parliamentary term
is five years, purely honorary, and is eagerly
sought after by progressive citizens. It is more
than likely Herr Weiss will accept the proffered
honor, as his election is assured.
Frank Scribner, the American Weiss represen-
tative, who has been in the West for several
weeks, is expected back in New York Monday.
Besides his usual stay in Chicago, Mr. Scribner
has called on the jobbing trade in Milwaukee, St.
Paul, Minneapolis, and returning he visited St.
Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Wash-
ington and Philadelphia. His trip has been un-
usually fruitful.

AN ANTPROOF ORGAN.
It cost the town of Sydney, New South Wales,
$1,500 to antproof the organ in the Town Hall.
This organ, one of the finest in Australia, was
invaded by white ants, and in a short time the
pipes were pierced and the bellows destroyed.
The wooden floors had to be raised and covered
with metal to avoid the pest.
