quantity shipments. This is also true of the
208 Keystone gut violin strings, which are han-
dled by the Weymann dealers in every part of
the United States and are greatly in demand.
Harry Weymann has just received a letter
from his son, H. Power Weymann, at present
with the Army of Occupation, to the effect that
he hopes to be back to business by the latter
part of June. He enclosed a picture taken at
Monte Carlo, which shows that army life has
agreed with him and that he is much stouter.
Upon his return to the States he will act as
assistant to his father as manager of the whole-
sale department of the Weymann business. He
is the eldest son of Harry Weymann. Herbert
Weymani, who was in France for more than
a year, and who recently returned home, is
now actively at work as assistant manager to
Albert C. Weymann in the retail department of
the business. Power Weymann is in the Sev-
er.ty-ninth Division of the army.
Harry W. Weymann has sold his cottage at
Atlantic City, but he will spend his summer at
that resort, housing his family at a prominent
hotel in Chelsea.

A further object of this invention is to pro-
company have many advance orders from all
parts of the United States that have yet to be vide a body portion having a casing or recep-
tilled, and as the demand for these line instru- tacle for strings, resin, etc.

orders are tilled in turn. Their factory is now
working on a normal basis so far as the number
of men are concerned.
