harmonica on this market. It has a compass of
four octaves, making it a most desirable instru-
ment for professional work. The patented wind-
saving device doubly enhances the tone produc-
tion. The reed cells have the regular Ironclad
covering. The instrument measures seven and a
fourth inches in length.
Embodied in the Ironclad series is a new and
exclusive Hohner patent, consisting of metal
strips, heavily nickel plated and positively rust
proof, so arranged and constructed that the
wooden partitions of the harmonica, ordinarily
exposed, are completely encased. This feature ef-
fectively prevents the swelling or warping of the
wod and thus prolongs the life of the instrument
to a remarkable extent.
The prices of the Ironclad line are directly in
keeping with the popularity of the instruments.
The line has been highly advertised among the
trade and general public and is proving unusually
profitable to the dealers having already'installed it.
It goes without saying that the instruments are
packed in the customary aracive Hohner
manner.

The new quarters of the Lyon & Healy Eastern
offices, on the ninth floor of the business structure
ar 12 West 31st street, are certainly modern, up-
to-date and comfortable. The Eastern business of
the company has been expanding rapidly lately and
the old quarters at 415 Broadway were far from
adequate.

have opened accounts with several of the best
houses in New York and New England. The op-
portunity in the small goods field for the really
wide-awake dealer is enormous. The modern
dealer who realizes this fact is getting the benefit,
the others are bound to see it, and then the small
goods trade will get back upon footing where it
rightly belongs. So far as the balance of the
spring and summer is concerned I think the out-
look is bright. Present conditions would s?em to
argue that way."

Washington, D. C, April 16, 1912.
A patent has just been granted to William C.
Reid, Elkhart, Ind., on a valve for wind musical
instruments (No. 1,023,330), and which he has as-
signed to the Elkhart Musical Instrument Co.,
Elkhart, Ind. In wind musical instruments, as for
instance a cornet, the valve spring is generally
incased in a barrel with two or more slots, with
a plate extending through said slots on which
the spring is anchored. This plate frequently be-
comes tilted, thus throwing the valve out of
action.
The object of this invention is to obviate these
and other objections in the valve construction of
wind musical instruments by producing a simpler
construction which is more effective than the con-
struction now commonly used.

Harry A. Schuermann, who for several years
has been manufacturing piano parts and organ
stools, filed a petition in bankruptcy last Thurs-
day. The matter has been referred by the United
States district court to Wm. H. Morrow, Esq.,
referee in bankruptcy for the county of Warren,
and a meeting of the creditors will be held on Sat-
urday, the 27th inst.
Mr. Schuermann was also president of the H.
A Schuermann Co., which was organized with the
intention of taking over the business of H. A.
Schuermann. An office of this company was lo-
cated in Newark, wth Sheldon & Smith, lumber
dealers, as the company's representatives.
U is claimed that the failure of certain mem-
bers of the new company to put up their share of
the required capital was responsible for the finan-
cial difficulties that resulted in the failure.
