MOISTURE-PROOF STRINGS.
The string department of Armour & Co., Chicago,
advertises moisture-proof strings and says: "Ex-
cessive rains and moisture throughout the country
have increased the widespread appreciation of the
secret moisture-proofing process that Armour & Co.
have perfected for protecting Armour's Music Strings
from the harmful dampness of the atmosphere and
the moisture of the hands. This is very important
in damp climates and along the seaboard. Dealers
everywhere should emphasize this admirable feature
and strong selling point."
