ness manager and treasurer of the Japan Mis-
sion of the Reformed Church, in which he says
that the Japanese are delighted with the Conn
instruments, and predicts their use by the Im-
perial Guards Band and other organizations in
that country. He also encloses a letter in Jap-
anese from Mr. Serisawa, leader of the Sendai
Military Band, who says that Conn makes the
best band instruments in the world, and adds
that he is urging all Japanese musicians to use
nothing but the instruments made by the C. G.
Conn Co.
Indeed, it is only necessary to go through this
volume to be convinced of the growing popu-
larity of the C. G. Conn creations in every part
of the world.
JACOT CO.'SJFALL CAMPAIGN
Will Spread the Fame of the Mira Music Boxes
—Some Handsome New Designs.
The Jacot Music Box Co., of 39 Union Square,
are preparing for a very vigorous fall campaign,
and it is their intention to spread the fame of
the Mira music cabinets to every corner of this
country. The various styles of this music box
are being found by dealers to be an almost in-
dispensable adjunct to their stock, and instead of
retarding, assists in the sale of all kinds of mu-
sical instruments. Their line is being handled
by nearly all of the leading jobbers of the coun-
try, and all of the retailers that have placed
them in stock and adopted the methods sug-
gested for their sale by that company, have
found them an extremely profitable invest-
ment. The designs now being offered have given
such universal satisfaction to the trade, that but
few changes will be made at the present time, al-
though the new cabinets that have been brought
out will prove an acceptable novelty for the holi-
day trade.
George K. Darling, located at 806 South Spring
street, Los Angeles, Cal., will shortly remove to
much larger quarters at 413 West Fifth street.

With every Hohner Harmonica and Accordeon there will hereafter be packed an Instruction Book. An announcement of this fact will with-

of music is required. Figures are used in place of notes. The Accordeon Instructor comprises any style of instrument—single, double or triple
row. A work of this kind has never been published before, and will be welcomed by many who wish to acquire a knowledge of the Harmonica
