course in band instrument repairing. Mr. Bean
generally goes up to the Holton plant for this
instruction every year and, as a result, the
Saxophone Shop does a business in its repair
department that includes the mending of broken
instruments from every town in Arkansas.
The entire Bean family is musical. Art Bean

Syncopators and several brass quartets. Miss
Margaret Bean is director of Al Greenes South-

winning organizations have developed.
Among the leaders along this line is the Fond
du Lac Bugle and Drum Corps, organized by
A. M. Trier Post, No. 75, about a year ago,
which in September was one of the prize win-
ners at the national convention at St. Paul.
Some of the members of A. M. Trier Post
decided that a bugle and drum corps would be
a mighty valuable asset to the Legion in Fond
du Lac. A committee was appointed, investi-
gated the situation and decided to equip forty
members of the Legion Post with instruments.

CARL FISCHER, Inc.,

a drum corps and, after due deliberation, the
committee which had started the organization
purchased their instruments from Frank Holton
& Co., at Elkhorn.
Let E. G. Schultz, bugle sergeant, tell you the
story:
"The first of April found us equipped forty
strong and raring to go. In only a few weeks'
time the buglers realized how easy it was to
blow a Holton bugle and by Decoration Day
the bugle section made a very creditable show-
ing.
"Little did we think that we would be able
to play well enough to participate in the State
convention, much less at the national conven-
tion at St. Paul. However, about the first of
July we began to realize, as did the people in
our city, that the Fond du Lac Drum and Bugle
Corps was up and coming. The town was be-
ing enlivened by the music of a martial organi-
zation. Men who never came to Legion meets
before were interested. Townspeople were sur-
prised and all of us were happy.
"Therefore, spurred on by an encouraged Le-
gion and a helping city, we determined to at
least appear in St. Paul in September. During
the Summer we played here and there and real-
ized a fair sum. We went to St. Paul and as
competition was keen, we were highly elated to
come away with third prize.
"It took us less than six months. We learned
to play difficult music. What fun, what work,
what benefit we have derived from it all. Cer-
tainly our drum corps feels that it has made a
bigger and better post as well as a happier
town."
Landau's Music Store
Has New Ukulele Club
All Purchasers of These Instruments From
House Given Instruction by This Means at
Nominal Cost
HAZLETON, PA., June 29.—Landau's Music &
Jewelry Store, 25 West Broad street, has or-
ganized a ukulele club and those persons who
purchase ukuleles will be given the opportunity
to learn to play them properly at a nominal
sum per lesson. While the ukulele is one of the
most popular instruments in this locality its
sale has been held back by inability on the part
of the public to obtain instruction.
To overcome this difficulty in finding a suit-
able instructor, Landau's has arranged to have
Harry Thomas, in charge of the ukulele depart-
ment in its Wilkes-Barre store, come over here
once a week to take charge of a class and give
private lessons. The announcement of this ar-
rangement has given rise to a noticeable in-
crease in the sale of ukuleles already.
M. Steinert & Sons have just leased the build-
ing at 35-39 Arch street, Boston, which they
will utilize for the sale of phonographs and
radio equipment.
