THE:
C. G. CONN CO. PROGRESS.
Their Famous Line of Band Instruments in
Great Demand—The New Sanitary Mouth-
piece Grows in Favor.
That success is never a matter of luck is
proven by the eminence that has been attained by
C. G. Conn in the band instrument manufacturing
field. Never satisfied with "good enough," Mr.
Conn has made it his endeavor to constantly
improve his instruments, and being thoroughly
conversant with the details of band instrument
construction, he has succeeded, through long and
earnest study of the subject and hard work, in
producing the present line of Conn instruments,
at the head of which stands the wonderful Conn-
Queror cornet. To-day the products of the C. G.
Conn Co. stand among the leaders in band in-
struments, and that their reputation is well de-
served is evident from the fact that many of the
leading bands and soloists in the country use
Conn instruments.
The June issue of Truth, the house organ of
the C. G. Conn Co., which has just been issued,
and is as usual replete with valuable information
for musicians, mentions the new sanitary mouth-
piece for brass instrument players, which is
attracting much attention. A well-known physi-
cian, Dr. S. A. Johnson, of Kalkaska, in com-
menting on the arguments presented in favor of
this mouthpiece, which has a metal shell, covered
with hard, vulcanized rubber, states that workers
in copper and brass are practically exempt from
Asiatic cholera. Typhoid germs are at once de-
stroyed by the millionth of a grain of copper
salts, while players of brass instruments, com-
mencing early in life and practising regularly
and properly, are exempt from tubercular dis-
eases. The moral of which is that a little verdi-
gris in rare cases is beneficial for those subject
to cholera and typhoid germs—but, get a good
instrument, commence practising early in life
and continue often, and be sure to use a sanitary
mouthpiece. Enough verdigris for germ exter-
mination can be absorbed by the contact of the
hands instead of the lips with the instrument.
