BOOSEY BAND INSTRUMENTS.
Boosey & Co., 9 East Seventeenth street,
in pursuance of their declared intention to
open up a vigorous campaign early this year
in advocacy of their military and orchestral
band instruments, are now drawing special
attention to their perfected instruments with
patent compensating pistons. The advan-
tages pointed out in notices just published
are as follows:
All valve notes in tune on both three and
four-valve instruments.
True chromatic scale in pedal octave of
four-valve instruments.
Invaluable on the solo euphonion.
Invaluable on all bass brass band instru-
ments.
No complication of mechanism introduced.
No alarming increase of weight.
No awkwardness of model.
The notes being in tune without forcing,
a full, round tone is preserved, and chords
are smooth instead of rough.
The Boosey reed instruments and flutes
are also being brought conspicuously to no-
tice especially the "Spencer Model" clarionets
for soloists, and the Ebonite clarionets in
one length, peculiarly adapted for military
use. The manufacture of flutes is one of the
oldest departments of the Boosey house.
They are made on the systems of Pratten,
Siccama and Boehm, both with the conical
and the cylindrical bore.

KAISER BUYS " C O O N " SONGS.
American Graphophones Helped Christmas Merri-
ment in Palace.
According to a dispatch from Berlin Amer-
ican Graphophones helped to make holiday
merriment in the imperial palace at Potsdam.
A Berlin paper says: "A local agency to-
day received an order for a machine which
had been personally selected by the Empress
to be placed on the Christmas tree as a pres-
ent for Victoria Louise, the Kaiser's young-
est child and the only princess in the Ger-
man imperial family. The cylinders accom-
panying the machine are filled with German
military marches and American 'coon' songs.
Princess Frederick Karl, the Kaiser's sister,
on the recommendation of the Empress, has
also purchased one of the instruments.
"Strenuous efforts are made by almost
every Yankee concern in Germany for the
privilege of supplying its specialties to the
Kaiser's household. The products range in
variety from boots and bath tubs to soap and
cash registers. No American firm as yet has
been able to advertise itself as a purveyor
to the court. Rivalry for the first distinction
of this sort is keen."
The "local agency" referred to is the Co-
lumbia Phonograph Co., and they have every
right to advertise themselves as purveyors to
the court, if they had need of such an adver-
tisement.
THE SYMPHONION MUSIC BOXES.
Toledo, O., Jan. 6, 1902.
The Ohio Talking Machine Co. is the
name of a Toledo company which was or-
ganized recently for the purpose of manu-
facturing talking machines, discs, and any
and all parts of such apparatus. Parts of
machines, or the entire machine, may be ob-
tained at the local factory.
Toledo now has most every conceivable
kind of a manufactory, and the talking ma-
chine plant helps fill a void if any existed.
The new industry will name its product the
"gramophone," and it is said to be equal in
all respects to the phonograph, graphophone,
or any similar machine. The gramophone
is not a new invention, but in the manufac-
turing process to be applied here, it is ex-
pected that a good, serviceable talking ma-
chine can be turned out.
The company is incorporated for $50,000
by Clem V. Wagner, L. M. Williamson, G.
R. Aylsworth, K. Green and M. O. Topliff.
There is good Toledo capital back of the
enterprise, the personnel of which will not
be made known for the present, as business
reasons render it advisable not to make
known all of the details. The company has
not yet secured quarters.
The talking machine has advanced from
the parlor toy, Edison's first creation, to a
most useful article for business purposes,
as well as a rare parlor entertainer. It is
now customary for many business men to
dictate their letters to the machine, which
records them, and later reads them to the
stenographer when he is ready to bring the
typewriting machine into play. A number
of Toledo business houses adopted this sys-
tem long ago and find it satisfactory. The
Milburn Wagon Co. notably uses it.
This new industry will doubtless furnish
material for funny paragraphers, who can
see where politicians and other famous men
of Toledo could use a talking machine.
