Carlin Co. Holton Exhibit
The exhibit was given in the Industrial Build-
ing at the State Fair Grounds and was held
under the auspices of the Realtor's Board.
Approximately 100,000 people saw the exhibit,
and as it was the only display of its kind in the
building it attracted a great deal of attention.
Colored lights were reflected in the bells of the
instruments, which were all gold-plated, and the
effect was extremely attractive.
Featured in the display were the Holton Jazz
Hound trurnpet and the Holton American
Model trombone, both of which were tried out
Kant Krack Cases
"F/ic Quality Supreme"
by a number of Indianapolis players who were
extremely enthusiastic over them. The display
also featured a complete line of radios, phono-
graphs and pianos.
The exhibit was in charge of Leonard G.
Carlin, who handled the piano display; Ed
Mitchell, who handled the radio and phono-
graph display, and R. B. Hodgin, who had
charge of the band instrument display.
The Carlin Music Co. has been in business
in Indianapolis for about twenty-nine years, and
it has been its policy to always give the public
the very best grades of musical merchandise.
At the present time it is enjoying a splendid
business in the Holton line, which is made by

Small-bore Trumpets
Popular in New Orleans
by Howard C. Voorhees, sales manager of the
brass department of the C. G. Conn store at
123 Carondelet street. Now every professional
cornetist and trumpeter in the business is all set
to get the new and popular brassy notes charac-
teristic of the small-bore instruments.
"No professional strives for a French horn
tone in a trumpet any more," the department
head pointed out. "He wants brass, the public
wants it and that is the answer to the ruling
role the trumpet is playing in modern music, su-
perseding the instruments that have tried to
submerge it in the past few years."
Mr. Voorhees reports that Paramount banjos
are increasingly popular with the Southern
trade. The Conn store is successfully mer-
chandising these instruments by tying their ad-
vertising up with the vaudeville acts visiting
the Orpheum, the Palace, or Junior Orpheum
and the Crescent theatres.
NEW ORLEANS, LA., May 16.—"A small-bore
trumpet in the hands of every band leader and
orchestra top-liner in the city" is the goal set
