BUSY IN SAN FRANCISCO.
SCHOOL MAKES MANY SALES
Pupils
of Kesselman-O'Driscoll Co., Milwaukee,
Show Their Proficiency in First Concert.
The school established about a year ago by the
Kesselman-O'Driscoll Co., Milwaukee, has created a
great number of embryo artists and has materially
increased the sales of band and orchestra instruments
in the musical merchandise department of the com-
pany. Many large and small classes for the teaching
of various instruments are remarkable for the enthu-
siasm of the pupils and the manner in which the
pupils have progressed is a matter of surprise to pro-
fessionals.
A series of lessons on chosen instrument is offered
free to purchasers by the Kesselman-O'Driscoll Co.
and pupils have been responding plentifully since the
first announcement of the school. Almost from the
start bands, orchestras and clubs for the study of
particular instruments became a feature of the school.
Group teaching has been very successful.
The first of a series of concerts by pupils of the
school was given last week by the Kesselman-
O'Driscoll Co. and in this about fifty pupils showed
their proficiency singly and in group playing.

its new home in the Strand Theater Building on upper
