REVIEW/
Review, he said: "We will put the Duss Band
harmonica up against any 'harp' in the market.
In point of manufacture, pattern, design and fin-
ish it equals the most famous line of these goods,
and the price cannot be equaled. In point of
musical quality there are none better, and that
is saying a good deal, but our faith is expressed
advisedly. Our No. 256 Duss Band has 20 bell

metal reeds, with heavy brass plates and heavy
nickel covers. It is a crackerjack and we stand
behind every one we send out.
"We would also like to say a word about our
new styles of Vienna model accordeons, which
are positively the finest in the market; and the
best part of it is, they are offered at an extraor-
dinarily low price. The new goods are now
coming in. This fall we shall issue a new cat-
alogue, and special sheets meanwhile as fast as
they are needed, which will be frequently. Our
business was never better for the season."
SCRIBNER CELEBRATES.
Celebration of Fremont Day and the Arrival
of Mr. Weiss.
During the celebration of Fremont Day, in
commemoration of the founding of the Repub-
lican party, in Jersey City, N. J., Monday even-
ing. Frank Scribner, the American representative
of Ch. Weiss' line of harmonicas, 393 Broadway,
New York, was a prominent figure. Mr. Scribner
is an ardent Republican and a leading member
of the Fremont Club, and in the parade he was
awarded the honor of carrying the original ban-
ner, the property of the oldest mail carrier in
his home city, and which the latter carried in
the procession at Philadelphia, June 18, 1856, at
the first Republican national convention. Sev-
