THE
LEIPSIC'S ANNUAL FAIR.
An Event of Great Interest to Manufacturers of
Small Goods Abroad—A Social as Well as
Business Re-Union.
The Leipsic fair, which opened Monday,
closes to-day. This yearly event is of
considerable importance to the foreign
manufacturer of small 'goods, and every
German house of any standing has his en-
tire line represented. With the possible
exception of pianos, every branch of goods
in musical merchandise is fittingly dis-
played, the new models and novelties be-
ing given special prominence. Buyers
from all over Europe, and a few from
America, are in attendance, and connec-
tions for the ensuing year are here nego-
tiated and consummated.
In the very nature of the occasion the
social side is not neglected; perhaps it is
the strongest feature of the fair, but with
all the interchange of courtesies and the
gala festivities, business is not lost sight
of for the fractional part of a minute. Per-
haps were Leipsic to redate its trade festi-
val about May, the American trade would
be more generously in evidence.
ERNEST KOCH'S EUROPEAN TRIP.
Ernest Koch, manager of Ands. Koch's
American branch, will leave for his annual
trip to Trossingen, Germany, in May. His
original intention was to sail in time for
the Leipsic fair, but the tempestuous weather
made ocean travel far from pleasant. He
will be away about two months, and on
returning will probably be accompanied
by his father, the chief and founder of the
great harmonica factory bearing his name.

A Word About Gold-Moulded R_ecords
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records were the first Moulded Records on the market by
about a year.
They always have been GOLD-moulded. A gold mould is the ONLY economical and efficient
mould known to the art.
Moulded records are superior to the old engraved records, because they may be made of
HARDER material. Hard records last longer and have a better quality of tone.
A gold-moulded record made of SOFT material would be no better in quality than an
ENGRAVED record in soft material.
The best Moulded Records are not only GOLD-MOULDED; they are SUPER-HARDENED.
Gold-moulded records are LESS expensive than engraved records. The PROCESS is simpler.
Formerly, BLANK cylinders were moulded, then SHAVED, then ENGRAVED from an original. The
originals soon wore out under the reproducing stylus.
Now, a gold-lined MOULD is made from the original, and the product of that mould is a
SMOOTHLY FINISHED cylinder, with the SOUND RECORD ALREADY ON IT. The life of the original is
increased ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.
A record is not MORE expensive because it is gold-moulded.
It is LESS expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records are NEW records, made by a NEW process. They are
not only gold-moulded. They are SUPER-HARDENED.
Irrespective of PRICE, they are superior in QUALITY to any other gold-moulded record on
the market.
