The Bandola Co., of Portland, Me., have just
issued a catalog describing and illustrating the
Handoia mandolin, the Bandola banjo, and the
Handola guitar. These instruments are con-
structed on a new scientific principle, which in-
sures a rich, singing quality of tone, and are
protected by patents granted to John H. Parker.
The instruments are most attractive in design
and represent many new ideas which deserve
consideration of lovers of these instruments.

elty that attracted attention last year, it is be-

it is ready to be launched, and then it will go to
the trade in an effective manner.
