A New Partnership
DENVER, COLO., April 22.—E. T. Land, who re-

hustling business firms, dealing in pianos, pho-
nographs, radios and other musical instruments,

gram will be staged at the 'Civic Auditorium,

Ohio Band Festival

Northern Ohio High School Band festival will
be held at Bucyrus on May 3 and 4, with high
school bands from Bellevue, Elyria, Fremont,
Norwalk, Oberlin, Piqua, Sandusky, Tiffin, Wil-

Wm. (Billy) Tong Joins
Holton & Go. as Tester
April 22.—William (Billy)
Tong, noted as one of the leading cornetists
of the day, and, for a number of seasons, cor-
net soloist with Sousa's band, has joined the
organization of Frank Holton & Co., prom-
inent band instrument manufacturers of this
city, as tester of all Holton cornets and trum-
pets.
At the Holton factory, all band instruments
go through a rigid series of inspections during
the course of construction, and, finally, when
they are completed and ready for shipment,
each instrument is tested finally for tone and
tuning. This requires the services of an ac-
complished musician who not only can per-
form experfly, but knows the various tone
shadings. His word is law, and unless the in-
strument is passed by him as being perfect, it
is not sent out. In the future, therefore, every
Holton-Clark cornet or Llewellyn trumpet
leaving the Holton factory will have the ap-
proval of Mr. Tong.

turers of strings for musical instruments, are

Norwalk, Conn.
