PRESTO
January 17, 1925.-
George H. Bolduc is manager of the band instrument
department, and he has been active in organizing and
equipping several bands.
The band which provided the musical feature for
the opening event was the North Platte Fire Depart-
ment Saxophone Band, an organization entirely
equipped by Mr. Bolduc.
The organization of this band was a remarkable
achievement that shows the energy of Mr. Bolduc,
who is also a band leader. Ninety days ago not one
of the twenty members could play a note, but now
it is said that their playing ranks with many organi-
zations of longer standing. It has twenty members
and they have been carefully trained under the direc-
tion of Mr. Bolduc.

mas showed no let-up in the urgent calls.
The manner in which the Slingerland May Bell
banjos have been received by the trade and custom-
ers again proves a real value will always succeed.
The Slingerland tenor banjos are recognized as
good values, an "dthe manner in which they are made
and finished interests the discriminating customer.
