One writer
says: "This would rob the exhibition of
any appearance of sectionalism, and would
make the affair more imposing and more
successful, and moreover, would give the
public an idea of the great importance of
the music trade industry of the United
States."
The suggestion made by our correspond-

Although
we export quite some instruments to for-

ECKER & SON, 971-5 East 135th

factory amount of business. Dealers ap-
preciate the Decker & Son r piano for its
careful construction, its fine tone and scale,
and its artistic design and finish.
It is no
wonder that orders for this instrument are
constantly on the increase.

HOUSANDS of dealers have sold and
are selling the old standard Martin
guitars, as well as other musical instru-
ments, for which C. A Zoebisch & Sons,
19 Murray street, are the factors, and they
have never failed to give satisfaction. For
almost sixty-two years the- Martin guitars
have been before the trade. They have
been improved from time to time, and are
up-to-date in every respect. The different
musical instruments and strings handled
bv this house are in every way reliable and
worthy of investigation.
C. A. Zoebisch
& Sons have won a marked reputation in
the trade field for the varied excellence of
their wares, and they make it a point to
live up to that reputation.

539,789. Guitar. L. F. and D. P. Boyd,
Marion, Ind. To the under side of the
sounding-board is secured a semi-circular
strip having a series of grooves therein,
and into which is designed to be seated the
strings of the instrument. A second cross
piece having a concave portion therein is
secured to the under side of the strip, and
this also has a series of corresponding
grooves across its face, which, together
with the grooves in the strip secured to the
under side of the sounding-board, forms a
passage for the strings.

which is of the nature of that produced on
the violin by lightly touching the string
with the finger, and which is known as the
flageolet tone; the performer is also en-
abled to produce an echo-effect.
