Which Talking Machine Manufacturers En-

Been Introduced in Europe.
The price agreement enforced by the talking
machine manufacturers here with their jobbers
and dealers, the validity of which practice the
courts have sustained a t various times on the
ground that the cutting of the established selling
rate on a patented article is tantamount to an
infringement of vested rights intended in the
granting of the invention, has been introduced
in the European trade. The arrangement is said
to work satisfactorily.

Harmonica importers will have their little joke
at each other's expense when opportunity serves.
For instance, one house represents a brand—one
of the oldest in the market—that uses an ele-
phant blowing an instrument as their trade-
mark. When the trade calls the attention of
competition to the merits of the "elephant" line,
the road men invariably answer, "Oh, these may
be all right for elephants to blow, for they are
hard to play, require more wind and exertion
than our line, which are made for human
beings," etc., etc. Of course, there i s a good-
humored laugh, the salesman may make a point
or not, according to the temperament of the
buyer, and the incident is closed. But it is a
bit of facetiae that the opposition never wastes
an opportunity to indulge.
THE YORK BAND INSTRUMENTS.
The band instruments made by J. W. York &
Sons, of Grand Rapids, Mich., were the subject
of a flattering tribute in the "United States Re-
ports" published at Cincinnati, under date of
May 12. In response to numerous requests they
have looked into the matter of cornets and find
the "Professional Model" made by York & Sons
to be splendid instruments in every respect.
Moreover, the firm enjoy an enviable reputation
for the high standard of excellence attained in
their line of manufacture.
The York models for this year are most at-
tractive in design, and in tone and finish are
giving the greatest of satisfaction to players of
band instruments in all parts of the country.
