SCHULZ & MOENNIG, INC.
Enterprising Musical Merchandise Jobbing House
Issues Another Folder Describing "Specials."
"Timely Specials That Mean Good Profits for
You," is the title of a new folder of Schulz & Moen-
nig, Inc., 207 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, and
an alluring array of desirable musical merchandise is
pictured and described therein.
Among the specials are a trumpet outfit made by
Couesnon & Cie, Paris. No. 3100—B Flat Trumpet,
length 19-1/2 inches; quick change from B Flat to A;
pearl inlaid fingerbuttons; equipped with latest
American professional model, silver-plated mouth-
piece. In the following finishes: brass (highly pol-
ished), nickel-plated, silver-plated, with gold and
gold-plated finish. Right prices for high-grade in-
struments justify naming this outfit a "special."
Another special is No. 2195—a banjo ukulele with
resonator back, eight-inch mahogany finish veneered
rim, laminated vari-colored wood inlay around edge.
Nickel-plated straining hoon, 12 nickel-plated fiat
hook brackets, nickel-plated tailpiece, high grade calf-
skin head. Maple neck finished in rosewood, ebonite
fingerboard with position dots. Veneered ebonite
headpiece with pearl inlay, white button patent pegs.
Mahogany finished highly polished extension resona-
tor with colored inlay corresponding to rim.
A winning special is a tenor banjo with resonator
and case complete, eleven-inch rim, finished in dark
brown mahogany, and inlaid with different colored
woods.
"Never before have such quality tenor banjos been
offered to the trade at such low prices. You can sell
this 'Better Banjo' for 'less' and still make more than
your usual profit. To see and inspect this new line
is to immediately recognize banjos that readily sell,"
advises the company in the special folder.
A special resonator back with tenor banjo is "a
real amazing offer worthy of your consideration.
The most sensational features of this aristocratic
tenor banjo is its high grade workmanship and de-
sign, perfect scale and quality of tone."
The Ross Furniture Co., Polond Building, North-
wood avenue, West Palm Beach, Fla., has added
musical instruments.
