Frank Scribner had several interesting
items of news on Wednesday in response
to a call for latest information. He is pre-
paring to introduce the new Menzenhauer

Review, which was correct in its surmise
that Mr. Scribner would shortly become
identified with the Menzenhauer interests.
vSamples have been received of the Brass
Band Clarion, a new Weiss product. They
came to hand on Wednesday and active
steps are now being taken to put them on
the market.
These instruments will be
fully described in The Review in due
course.
Mr. Scribner intends to start Messrs. E.
M. Bonnell and William J. Lee, Jr., on
the road shortly to represent him, and he
calculates to make a personal tour of the
big cities, probably starting within two
weeks. Mr. Bonnell was head traveler for
the Autoharp. Both he and Mr. Lee are
expert harmonica, mandolin and zither
players.
Progressive dealers ought to keep in
touch with Jacob Bros, and learn something
about their latest styles. This firm is keep-
ing right in line with the front company
during the march to Perfection, the capi-
tal city of Pianoland. There is a certain
steadiness of poise and spring of instep
noticeable in their movement, promising
well for future results.
