SUGGESTION FOR DEALERS.
J. F. Boyer, general manager of the C. G. Conn Co.,
Elkhart, Intl., informed a representative of Presto-
Times one day last week that autumn orders in their
line are coming with somewhat of a rush. Last week
showed the biggest volume of business of any like
period this year. Mr. Boyer always has a suggestion
to make to the music dealers, and now he says that
any house that is fairly well equipped for handling
pianos can make a big additional hit by taking on the
Conn band instruments. This has been proved by
those who have tried it.
NEW MUSIC TARIFF.
Oilicial notification has been received at Washing-
ton from the American representative at Shanghai,

at 20 per cent. The rates went into effect Sep-
