the trade. This was a number of years ago, and
during that time, for strength, durability and mu-
sical qualities, "Perfection" strings have increased
in sale from year to year.
For the violinist the selection of a bow is all-
important, so it is not to be wondered that posses-
sing the qualities that they do, that the bows of E.
Martin-Sachsen should be so strongly in demand.
Every genuine E. Martin-Sachsen bow is stamped
with the trade-mark name, in order that no mis-
take may be made. Each bow is also packed in a
box. These bows are made of extra choice, selected
Pernambuco wood with a handsome dull finish,
round stick, full genuine silver mounted frog and
how screw.
ABLE TO MEET DEALERS' DEMANDS.
A
Popular Accordeon Model of Which Bue-
geleisen & Jacobson Have a Limited Stock.
Notwithstanding the pronounced shortage in
musical merchandise of all classes, and the cessa-
tion of manufacturing and shipping, many of the
johbers have been able to supply their dealers with
certain instruments which they had in stock in suf-
ficient quantities to make substantial shipments.
One of these instruments is the accordeon shown

Thousands of skilled vocalists, instrumentalists
and instrument makers have left their studios and
marched forth to shoot and be shot—not because
of deep-seated animosities or any lack of love of
their fellow men, but solely because this or that
European war-lord has given the order!

opera season in America this season are slight.

you'll find them.
America cannot gets its supply of commercial
grades of violins and trimmings elsewhere. There
is no elsewhere. And, as these inoffensive—even if
terribly misguided—makers of harmonious instru-
ments and parts are to be used up as fodder for
cannon, what will America do for violins of com-
mercial grades? Where shall we turn for bridges,
low-priced bows, bridges, trimmings, etc?
A sharp advance in prices of all grades of new
and old violins is inevitable. In this, opportunity
for American violin makers is plainly seen. Their

EXCELSIOR DRUMS ™ STANDARD
Some dealers may say that they cost more than
others.
Excelsior drums cost more because they are
worth more. Cost more to make.
We could make them cost less by using 1 cheaper
material, use less care in making* them, and dis-
pense with the new patented improvements.
If we did, however, Excelsior Drums would not
be the standard as they are to-day. Write for
