in that it contains no rubber or other injurious
ingredients.
In discussing the new article with a represent-
ative of The Review here to-day Mr. Nicomede
said: "I am certainly gratified to observe the
satisfactory progress the Wonder banjo and
drum head cleaner is making. Dealers every-
where are stocking them and they report that
every banjoist who sees it buys it.
"It contains no rubber and is safe and eco-
nomical to use. One man told him it had
already saved him many dollars *n new heads.
The use of this cleaner means that the player
always has a new looking head on his banjo or
drum. It is being sold by all leading dealers
in the trade."
The Nicomede Music Co. is the publisher of
the Morris Tenor Banjo Method. This is
written by William ("Banjo Bill") Morris, well
known to banjoists everywhere, and many deal-
ers are receiving inquiries for the method which
have led them to carry it in stock.
Other Nicomede publications include a new
jazz folio of tenor-banjo solos, which is prov-
ing popular; the banjo-saxo folio of duets for
banjo and tenor-banjo, the Star plectrum banjo
folio and the ukulele song book (now in pub-
lication).
The Nicomede Music Co. is also sole selling
agent for the United States and Canada for the
Lustroil musical instrument polish widely used
by musical instrument players. It is being sold
through dealers.
