and has a total floor space of 20,000 square feet.
The new building not only provides addi-
tional space for the manufacture of drum, banjo
and ukulele heads, of which the company is a
well-known manufacturer, but departments
have been installed for the manufacture of
banjos, banjo-ukes, guitars, drums and acces-

Small Deagan Wall Chart
CHICAGO, I I I . , October 16.—J. C. Deagan, Inc.,
announce that a small Deagan wall chart has
been prepared for the trade. The chart is sim-
ilar to the one prepared for dealers' use some
time ago, but changes have been made in
models, prices, etc. The revised wall chart will
show the complete line of Deagan xylophones,
marimbas, orchestra bells, cathedral chimes and
other Deagan instruments.
Dealers find this chart a great convenience
as it provides a ready reference at all times and
offers a number of advertising features. For
instance, if for any reason it isn't possible to
give the customer immediate attention, the wall
chart hanging in a convenient place in the dis-
play room will hold his attention and interest
until he can be waited on.
