Piano String Co.
Manufacturer* of
Tin- new French horn of C. G. Conn, Ltd , Elkhart,
I lid., is pointed out as another decided Conn victory
in the band instrument field. The acknowledged im-
portance of the French horn in the band and orches-
tra makes the Conn product particularly noteworthy
to musicians.
The new tuning slide for the French horn is an-
other Conn improvement which enables the player to
tune perfectly when playing horn witrMiand m the
bell. Many horn passages required that the hand be
forced far into the ball, and this sharpens the horn a
half tone. The other hand can readily transfer the
air passage through the new tuning slide and keep the
horn in tune. This slide can also give the horn
player an A horn with the B flat and an E horn with
the F. Experts claim this a most valuable feature
and almost indispensable to horn players.
Lieut. Lawrence Mansfield Matt, conductor of the
famous 106th Regiment Band, now known as the
23rd Regiment New York National Guards Band, is
another prominent musician who praises the new
Conn French horn. Continuing in a letter :o C. G.
Conn, Ltd , lie say«:
"I presume it is unnecessary for me to tell you that
my band is equipped with Conn instruments, far al-
most every member is an artist and owns a Conn.
We have a Conn Jumbo Sousaphone in gold and a
large bass drum and several more instruments bring
the percentage up to the 100 per cent mark. Need-
less to say I have always been a firm believer in Conn
instruments for the reason that they possess the re-
finements in all particulars that give the results so
satisfactorily in the requiremen's of the heavier band
music of the present day. I extend my congratula-
tions to your company on having reached the highest
point of perfection in your craft."

Two Paint and Varnish Companies Subject to Order
to "Cease and Desist."
In the summary of the November work of the
Federal Trade Commission, a complaint against the
American Shellac Co., Inc., for "falsely representing
that respondent's product is composed only of genu-
ine shellac gum," cited under the head of 'false and
misleading advertising," evoked an order to "cease
and desist."
Another order to cease and desist was made in the
complaint against the Reliance Varnish Co., et al,
Louisville, Ky., for "bribery of customers' employes."
EXCLUSIVE BUESCHER ARTISTS.
The big drawing card at the Heilig theater in
Portland, Ore., recently was the U. S. S. Leviathan
orchestra, Nelson Maples, direc'.or, and Enimett
O'Mara, tenor, who are exclusive Buescher artists,
and while in the Rose City played to packed houses.
The Seiberling, Lucas Music Co.. who are the
exclusive Buescher distributors for Portland, took
advantage of their appearance to feature them in an
extensive and artistic window display. The picture
of the artists was the central feature of. the window,
surrounded by a complete line of Buescher instru-
ments, attractively arranged.

AMERICAN PIANO SUPPLY CO.
The Character of Dependability and Prompt Service
Distinguishes Supply House.
Dependability in relation to the goods handled and
prompt service in shipping distinguishes the Ameri-
can Piano .Supply Co., 112 East 13th street, New
York.
The character for all 'round ability to supply the
needs of the piano tuner and piano repairman is a
valuable one for the piano supply house to acquire.
It is at once an asset to the house possessing it and
an assurance of a very satisfying kind to the industry
served. Years of efficient service for the piano in-
dustry has gained this character for the American
Piano Supply Co.
The advantages of a wide range of piano supplies
and big stocks of everything are part of the service
offered by the company. Everything in felts, hard-
ware, cloths, hammers, and other commodities needed
for pianos, organs, players and talking machines is
found in the big stock of the company.
But it is in the emergency requirements, the things
needed in a hurry perhaps, that the American Piano
Supply Co. proves the effectiveness of its service to
the piano manufacturers, piano repairmen and the
piano tuner. It is in making good in this particular
that has gained for the American Piano Supply Co.
its enviable character. Special stampings, turnings,
castings, things not found in any list of supplies are
frequently required, generally in a hurry by people
in the trade. The experienced factory superintend-
ent, the tuner or repairman who knows his business
knows that the requirements, whatever it may be, can
be procured in quick time from the American Piano
Supply Co., where supply always meets demand.
MORE SPACE FOR DES MOINES FIRM.
The Wilkinson Music House, Des Moines, Iowa,
moved last week to a larger location. Nine years
ago Mr. Wilkinson opened his music shop, selling to
professional musicians only. His business has ex-
panded amazingly. In the new quarters 6,000 square
feet will be utilized.
FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND
Paw Paw, Mich., School Has Band Music Class to
Fill- Vacancies in Organization.
The High School of Paw Paw, Mich., recently
formed a class for teaching band music and every
member of the class hopes to "make" the high school
band in time. The item in the Courier-Northerner of
Paw Paw is listed under school notes but it also
may be made a suggestion to musical merchandise
dealers in every town with a high school.
The number of school bands is increasing very
fast, thanks to the encouragement of music by school
boards and superintendents. The school band is
freely admitted to be a splendid disciplinary force
as well as a means for expressing the spirit of ambi-
tions.
The Band Instrument Manufacturers Association
has a policy directed towards creating the band spirit
in schools and its operation is seen in the band tour-
naments held in various places during the year. The
association also inspires the band instrument dealers
with the desire to organize school bands or at least
to evoke the band spirit in their communities. There
are about forty boys in the band music class of the
Paw Paw High School, none farther than the ninth
grade and most of them below the ninth grade.
Many are making excellent progress. In fact,
there are practically none in the list who do not
give promise that they will eventually develop into
good musicians.
At the present time none of these boys is good
enough to be enrolled as a regular member of the
Paw Paw high school band, but as soon as any cair
play well enough he will be voted in a regular mem-
ber.
There are nine trombone pupils, eight cornet, nine
clarinet, one flute, two picolo, two saxophone, one
baritone, three alto and two bass.
WHEN WASTE BEGINS.
Lumber wastage begins the day it is sawed, ac-
cording to F. P. Poole, district supervisor of the
Forest Products Engineering Co., Chicago, in the
"Hardwood Record." He estimates that executives
in charge of plants consuming upward of a million
feet of lumber yearly invariably waste from 5 to 10
per cent of the timber before they cut a foot of it for
manufacturing purposes.
