"A great many things have contributed to the
growth of the business of the Slingerland Banjo Co.
since the industry was established, foremost being
the amazing increase in the use of banjos in orches-
tras and for solo purposes." That was a modest
statement this week by H. H. Slingerland, head of the
big banjo manufacturing company at 1815 Orchard
street, Chicago, but the part of Mr. Slingerland and
his company in inducing that growth and encourag-
ing its continuance is one of the most interesting fea-
tures of the development of the banjo and the wide
uses of the instruments.
In the spread of dance orchestras and the more
general uses of banjos by people desirous of mak-
ing cheerful music Mr. Slingerland saw an oppor-
tunity. The Slingerland May Bell banjo was a result
and the realization of his vision is seen in the great
modern, two-story, fireproof, daylight factory o,f
25.000 feet of floor space at 1815 Orchard street,
where a skillful force of workmen aided by up-to-
date machinery and tools is busy producing the
goods.
The Slingerland banjos are prominent in the stock
of every ambitious musical merchandise dealer in the
country. The trade likes the May Bell banjos be-
cause of their high quality combined with reasonable
price. The wide range of the Slingerland line is
another and powerful inducement to the alert dealer
to acquire the representation on the line. The com-
pany makes forty styles of banjos, banjo mandolins,
tenor banjos and banjo ukuleles, a line of irresistible
music goods. The Slingerland Banjo Co.'s new cata-
log is suggestive of opportunities to the observant
dealer keen for quick sales and good profits.
