A problem confronting every musical instrument
dealer is to make the amateur as satisfied with his
purchase as he would be if he had bought the same
high-priced model used by the professional. The
problem is in a great measure solved for him by the
manufacturer who makes the dealer's problem his
own. How to help the dealer add to his banjo sales,
increase his profits, and make every customer on his
banjo sales list a satisfied one, is the self-appointed
job of the SHngerland Banjo Co., Chicago.
The bulk of banjo sales are made to amateurs, which
is inevitable, as the amateurs are more numerous than
the professionals. Of course the dealer is always
complimented by making a sale to the professional
and broadcasting the fact is good advertising, but
the professionals are so limited in number that no
business could exist on their patronage alone.
The result is that the music dealer counts on build-
ing up his business by sales to amateurs, and it is
fortunate for him that every day adds to the great
army of people who are attracted to the banjo.
Many of those people are not yet very particular
about the merits of the banjo they buy, and it is here
where the dealer who handles a reliable make saves
the situation for the cause of banjo sales.
The big amateur call for tenor banjos provided
an opportunity for the Slingerland Banjo Co., which
provides a big line of handsome banjos that look
and sound like those used by professionals in vaude-
ville and in orchestras. By selecting the proper ma-
terials and employing expert mechanics, the company
is enabled to turn out a high class banjo that appeals
to amateurs and assures the means to sales and
profits for the observant dealers.
The new catalog of the Slingerland Banjo Co.,
1815 Orchard street, Chicago, illustrates and de-
scribes over forty models of banjos, guitars, mando-
lins and ukuleles, every one of which is a sure profit-
maker for the dealer.

The new home of the company is close to the heart

cellent from a business standpoint. S. S. Larmon,
Cleveland manager for the Columbia interests, re-

HEALTHY PHONOGRAPH TRADE.
Otto Heineman, president of the General Phono-
graph Corp., New York, in an optimistic talk before
the National Phonograph Manufacturers' Associa-
tion, held at the American Furniture Mart, Chicago,
last week, said that business was far from dead, and
stated that orders for May of this year were 80 per
cent higher than for the same month last year. The
figures, he said, showed a healthy trend of trade.

HANDCRAFT LINE A HIT
Good Sales and Very Effective Publicity Results
Reported by Martin Band Instrument Co.
The combination of Martin Handcraft Band
Instruments and Bacon Banjos d i s p l a y e d by
The Chicago Musical Instrument Company at the
Drake Hotel during last week's convention proved
an irresistible magnet to hundreds of the dealers who
attended.
A full line of Martin Handcraft Instruments were
on display, most of them beautifully finished in gold.
The instruments were shown against a background
of silk plush and the result was a most pleasing one.
O. P. Bassett, general manager of The Martin Band
Instrument Company, of Elkhart, Ind., and Fred A.
Holts, manager of the sales and advertising, spent
considerable time in Chicago during the conven-
tion and report it by far the most successful meet-
ing of its kind ever held. Not only was there pres-
ent a feeling of utmost good will among dealers and
manufacturers, but there was also a good volume of
actual buying, according to the Martin officials.
D. L. Day, of the Bacon Banjo Company, Inc.,
was also in attendance during the convention and was
highly pleased with the results. The complete line
of Bacon banjos was shown including the wonderful
new Ne Plus Ultra instrument.
The Chicago Musical Instrument Company, which
staged the display of Martin and Bacon instruments,
is also distributor for a number of other standard
lines including Ludwig drums, C. F. Martin string
instruments, Hohner hamonicas and accordions, and
a complete line of accessories and musical merchan-
dise. The company reports splendid business during
the convention.
Edward Jackson has opened a music store at 566
Massachusetts avenue, Indianapolis.
