A KROEQER WINNER
The "Bell Brand" Strings.
This is a popular Kroeger style which has been a very satisfactory instrument in
every way for the dealers to handle. We may mention that the Kroeger styles for the
new year have met with enthusiastic reception everywhere. It seems from general in-
dications that it is going to be a Kroeger year all along.

The National Musical String Co., whose
plant is located in New Brunswick, N. J.,

*ar<&, carefully and accurately made from
materials of high grade by methods which
are recognized as being advanced.
This concern are not only original in
their style of advertising, but in all depart-
ments of their business. Manufacturers
would do well to test the excellence of the
Bell Brand. They are warranted in every
way, and are sold at a price which is con-
sistent with the quality offered.
These goods are designed to take the
place of the cheaper grades of strings
which have heretofore been manufactured.
The National Company's endeavor is to
put upon the market at a moderate price,
high-grade goods which embody special
unique features in boxing and wrapping
entirely novel and beautiful, and which
enhance their selling qualities to a marked
degree.
They anticipate a large trade in "Bell
Brand " strings and call the attention of
dealers to these goods, which can be sup-
plied to the retail houses through the usual
medium of the jobbers.
The policy of the National String Co. in
improving qualities is in keeping with the
reputation of this first-class house which
cannot be too highly commended and en-
couraged.
