ERE are two items in Banner Blue Banjos and
Banjo Ukes that are offered you as an introduction
to the line.
We could not send a more convincing salesman than
the No. 58 Tenor or the No. 11 Uke. Their beauty,
finish, workmanship and tone are emblematic of the en-
tire Banner Blue line—twelve styles of tenor and plectrum,
fifteen styles of banjo ukes.
In your window display or on your counters the dis-
tinctive beauty of appearance will create immediate in-
terest. Favorable first impression is unfailingly followed
by conviction on hearing their fine tone. Easy sales are the
result.
The enthusiasm of every dealer who has seen the line
is indicative of its value. That is why we are offering you
these two leaders as an introduction. We know you will
be impressed by their ability to win friends for your house.
There's profit in the line! Write today for particulars and
discounts.

H E R E ' S r o o m in
every Music Mer-
chant's stock for a
banjo like this.
Good-looking! U p - t o - d a t e !
And priced to please that vast
army of average purses who
don't need and can't afford a
$100.00 concert instrument.
But don't get the idea that this is just
a piece of merchandise produced to
sell at a price. It isn't!
It's a real musical instrument. The
scale is faultless. The tone is big and
full, intensified to real brilliance by
an extension resonator of strictly
modern type. We've built it hand-
somely—the best of materials, the
finest of finish. It looks good and IS
good!
Genuine Mahogany!
THE RIM is Genuine Mahogany, 5-
ply laminated construction. Finished
in natural brown mahogany color.
Satin hand rubbed finish. Sixteen
professional cast brackets, and groov-
ed straining hoop. Selected white
calf-skin head.
Also made in Regulation 5-String
Banjo and Banjo-Mandolin models at <
the same price.
THE RESONATOR is Genuine Ma-
hogany, laminated construction. Ex-
tension, detachable, o p e n t y p e .
Natural brown mahogany color, dull
satin rubbed.
THE NECK is 3-piece rock-maple, in
shaded brown mahogany finish. Ebony
reinforcing strip through center
makes it warp-proof!
Has ebony
heel, headpiece and fingerboard, pearl
inlaid. Regulation, full-sized patent
pegs with ivory-celluloid buttons.
You'll be setting new standards of
value in your town if you are the first
with the new Gretsch "Twenty-Five" !
It looks and plays like twice the price.
