THE
CLOSING PHENOMENAL YEAR.
Samuel Buegeleisen States That 1912 Has
Broken All Records with His House, While
the Outlook Is Excellent—Durro Products
Most Popular.
*
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, the prominent musical
merchandise house at 113 University Place, New
• York, are winding up the greatest year in their
history. "The business we consummated this year
has been truly phenomenal," stated Samuel
Buegeleisen in reviewing the year's progress. "We
have been working day and night during this sea-
son to fill the orders we are receiving in each mail
from our customers all over the country. This
year will'break all records, and a gratifying feature
of the outlook for next year is the fact that we are
assured of an excellent spring business in all of
our products.
"The financial condition of the musical mer-
chandise industry seems to be better than in any
preceding year, and the trade is optimistic and
enthusiastic for a prosperous 1913. Our entire
line has shared in our general business, and Durro
products have been popular beyond all our hopes
or expectations. Durro violins, strings and bows
are selling better than ever, and all of our custo-
mers speak in the highest terms of the merits of
these goods."

preciation of your public spirit and your generosity
in making this gift to the State. The drum is a
relic to be proud of, and I am sure that it will
always be among those souvenirs of the civil war
which are most highly prized in the State's collec-
tion."
HOHNER PUBLICITY FOR NEW YEAR.
Co-operation Series of Advertising Matter Will
Contain Much of Interest to the Trade.
M. Hohner, 114 East Sixteenth street, New York,
is busy preparing an exceptionally artistic example
of Hohner publicity for issuance the early part of
next year. According to Advertising Manager
Wm. J. Haussler, this new addition to the Hohner
co-operation series of advertising matter will sur-
pass anything ever offered to the musical merchan-
dise dealers in this particular field, and he predicts
that Hohner dealers wilf be more than pleased with
the completed work of aft.

Some dealers •may say that they cost more
than others.
Excelsior drums cost more because they*
are worth more. Cost more to make.
We could make them cost less by using:
cheaper material, use less care In making
them, and dispense with the new patented Im-
provements.
If we did, however, Excelsior Drums would
not be the Standard as they are to-day. 'Write

Owing to the pronounced s'hortage of Flutas this
year, the house of Ch. Weiss, 803 Broadway, New
York, 'has been obliged to discontinue the issuance
of any literature on this popular instrument and
concentrate its efforts on the promotion of Weiss
harmonica sales. It is at present sending out
wall hangers and circulars on its complete line
of harmonicas, and its customers are sending in
substantial orders. The popularity of the Fluta
this season was so far beyond all expectations that
the factory abroad has 'been working day and night
to partly fill the orders on hand, but it is expected
that by the early part of next year it will be in
a position to fill all orders promptly.
