MAKES UKULELES EXCLUSIVELY.
The Rivola Mfg. Corp., 565 Cortlandt avenue, New
York, firmly believes there are still good possibilities
for business and profits in the manufacture of uku-
leles exclusively. The company's faith in the field
convinces it that the year 1923 will exceed all past
years in the sales of the little stringed instruments.
Anyway the company has provided itself with the
facilities for turning out good ukuleles in consider-
able quantities. Some of the new models introduced
by the Rivola Mfg. Corp. have attractive novelty
features.
NEW RECEIVER NAMED.
The Circuit Court at Grand Rapids, Mich., has
ordered the dissolution of the Michigan Phonograph
Co., Grand Rapids, and has made Henry W. Kno-
blanch receiver, with authority to continue the busi-
ness for one year. The receiver may close out the
business within that time if he considers it advisable
and after proper application to the court. Last week
the resignation of William Van Sluyters, temporary
receiver, was accepted by the court.
FIND STOLEN SAXOPHONES.
In search for 30,000 stolen cigarettes in Watertown,
N. Y., last week, police discovered two C. G. Conn
saxophones stolen recently from the Paddock Arcade,
where F. E. Bellinger had them on exhibition. The
saxophones, valued at $175 each, were discovered at
the rendezvous of box car thieves suspected of steal-
ing the cigarettes.

THE CELEBRATED
Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co., Inc., New York,
Prints Big List in Little Circular.
The person outside of the piano business is sur-
prised at the multiplicity of the parts required in
making or repairing the instruments. So the unin-
itiated are amazed when turning over the pages of a
catalog of a house like Hammacher, Schlemmer &
Co., Inc., New York. Even Circular No. 578 of that
company, which is compiled especially for the tuners,'
repairmen and dealers, contains lengthy lists of inter-
esting things for the active ones named.
The first item mentioned in Circular No. 578 is the
genuine Fly-Brand Tuning Pin, which tuners and re-
pairmen everywhere agree is a dependable com-
modity. Speaking of these Hammacher, Schlemmer
& Co., Inc., says:
"The continued prestige of Fly-Brand Pins is due
solely to quality. Made from specially drawn wire,
by men who have done nothing else for a lifetime,"
wire absolutely uniform in size and perfectly round;
countersunk holes, always the same distance from
end of pin; every detail watched minutely, they are
as near perfect as brains, money and skill can
produce."
But Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co. has the same
pride in the other commodities in its long list of tools
and materials provided for tuners and repairmen.
Miss Hazel Butler recently opened a music store
in Pauls Valley, Okla.
