The modern factory of the Slingerland Mfg. Co.,
1815 Orchard street, Chicago, will be a place of un-
usual activity during the forthcoming convention of
music merchants at the Drake Hotel, in June.
"Plans have been made," said President H. H.

have our dealers come direct from the convention
headquarters to our factory, where they may inspect
the processes of banjo making. We will also have a
display at the factory which it is hoped will interest
dealers."
