THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
At this sale the fallowing notice was served on
all intending purchasers by the Regina Co.
"On behalf of the Regina Co., I hereby notify
all those present at this auction sale that there
is a suit still pending in ihe Court of Chancery
brought by the Regina Music Box Co. against F.
G. Otto & Sons, Zenas B. Newell and George R.
Turnbull, brought for the purpose of setting
abide the mortgage under which this sale is to be
had, as null and void, so far as three judgments
are concerned which the Regina Music Box Co.
has obtained against P. G. Otto & Sons, and
vhich the Regina Co. claims are a prior lien to
this mortgage. The bill of complaint in that
suit was riled on August 8, 1902, and an appeal
from the decree of the Court of Chancery, dis-
missing that suit, is now pending.
"Further, I hereby notify all those present at
this sale that the Regina Msic Box Co. has taken
an appeal from the decree of foreclosure of the
Court of Chancery under which this sale is had,
claiming that the three judgments of the Re-
gina Music H6x Co. should be declared a lien
prior to the lien of the mortgage to the trustees.
"I also notify all those present that the cor-
poration, F. G. Otto & Sons, heretofore manufac-
tured music boxes under a license obtained from
the Regina Music Box Co. to operate certain let-
ters patent of the United States owned by the Re-
gina Music Box Co. This license was and is un-
assignable, and a purchaser at this intended fore-
closure sale will not obtain a transfer of that
patent license. I therefore want to caution all
intending purchasers that if they are to continue
making and selling such music boxes, the pur-
chaser will do so without any license and in in-
fringement of the patent rights of the Regina
Co., and will be held accountable for such manu-
facture and sale by the Regina Co."
The application for patents in the last fiscal
year broke a»i previous records, according to the
annual report of the Commissioner of Patents,
made public on Tuesday. There were 50,321 ap-
plications for mechanical patents and 2,554 ap-
plications for trade-marks. There were 31,979
patents and 2,213 trade-marks granted.
BUSY TIMES WITH THE BAUER CO.
LESTER ACCORDEONS IN DEMAND.
(Special to The Review.)
Accordeons and their reputation are general
trade talk, and the merits of respective instru-
ments are discussed. On this question David
Jacobson, of Buegeleisen & Jacobson, 113 115 Uni-
versity Place, New York, said to The Review the
other day: "The phenomenal success attained
by the Lester accordeons in the short time they
have been on the market is due to the fact that
they are the right goods at the right prices. That
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 4, 1904.
In a chat with Mr. Bauer, of the Bauer Co., re-
garding the business situation, he said: "The
months of August and September were ahead of
the corresponding months of last year, and we
know that October will come up to the mark,
judging from the way orders are coming in the
past few days. Our goods, you know, are handled
principally by the jobbing trade, and dealers can
be supplied through them as well as direct. In
buying through their jobber they often save extra
expense in having our lines come with their gen-
eral merchandise. Our lines can be had through
New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and Philadelphia.
Jobbers, also through our regular agencies, prin-
cipally Sherman, Clay & Co., of San Francisc,
the Nordheimer Co., Toronto, Can., and Suttons
Proprietary Co., Ltd., of Melbourne, Australia.
We are convinced that this is decidedly a "banjo"
year and the old reliable S. S. Stewart banjo has
the call, because it is the best and most popular
instrument made and most profitable for dealers
to handle."
AN INTERESTING LITTLE VOLUME.
The current issue of "The Regina," as usual,
abounds in news of interest to the dealer of mu-
sical merchandise—particularly those who devote
attention to the development of the music box
trade. It is rich in "pointers" which must prove
most helpful in developing business. The impor-
tant announcement is made in this little volume
that twenty million people are reading the Re-
gina advertising and that over one hundred thou-
sand American homes are already furnished with
some form of Reginas. If you haven't seen this
little magazine do not hesitate to write for it to
the Regina Co., at Rahway, N. J.

the trade has been satisfied at receiving such uni-
form goods, which have proven easy sellers, can
be attested by figures in the customs house,
showing the large quantity that our firm have
imported. To-day there are several poor imita-
tions of the Lester accordeons being exploited,
only another proof of the old saying about the
sincerest form of flattery, etc. Now we are satis-
fied that if the Lester was not the big seller and
money winner it is, no one would deem it worthy
of copying. That's all."
