excellent display cards during his many years' con-
nection with the house of Hohner, but the "Hohner
Boy"' has proven to be the greatest success of all.
The reason is not difficult to locate, as the human
appeal in the boy's face used as the display card's
subject, together with the essentially high-class
character of every detail of the card's make-up
insured the splendid success that the card has
registered and which it will undoubtely maintain
for some time to come.

'Al T r u " Cornet Made by J. W. York & Sons,
Tru," is typical of the merits of the entire York
line, and in addition embodies a number of im-
provements that tend to make a distinctly favor-
able impression.
The house of York has issued some interesting-
illustrated literature featuring the "Al-Truc," in
which the text matter is presented forcefully and
informatively, embodying every question that a
prospective purchaser of a cornet would ask.
Special' emphasis is placed on the air passage,
valve system and tuning devices of this new in-
strument, and York & Sons state: "It is the first
cornet ever builded with an air passage having
but two turns and the only cornet having a quick
change to "A' slide, lead from and return to the
third valve casing; in other words, the only cor-
net having the quick change to 'A' slide entirely
on the third valve. These features are the secret
of the "Al-Tru.' "
Another innovation embodied in the "Al-Tru" is
a little thumb and finger piece attached to the
tuning slide. Should the instrument become either
sharp or flat while playing, it can be correctly
and quickly tuned without removing it from the
lips, by easily moving the tuning slide with its
little attachment. Two special mouthpieces de-
