in a convincing advertisement in the Saturday Eve-
ning Post of May 24, and the reason, too, is stated

most beautiful in tone, reliable in action, perfect in
scale and handsome in design and finish they are
chosen by the big stars in the world of popular music
—phonograph recording and radio broadcasting or-
ganizations.
"Only a few of these famous orchestras can be
pictured here. Ask the leading professionals in y.our
t o w n — they know Conn's reputation for .su-
premacy. Conns are used and endorsed by concert
band men, symphony and opera orchestra player^ as
well as the foremost jazz artists throughout -the
world.
• "Conn is the only maker of every instrument used
in the band—saxophone, cornet, trombone, flute,
clarinet, drums, etc. Conn violins are renowned for
beauty and richness of tone. More saxophones bear-
ing the name Conn are sold than any other make.
' "Choose the instrument that suits your talent—
you'll make faster progress with a Conn. Win pleas-
ure, popularity—extra income, if you wish. The
prestige of playing a Conn is worth much among
professionals."
