Some dealers may say that they cost more than

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 dis-
pense with the new patented improvements.
If we did, however, Excelsior Drums would not
be the Standard as they are to-day. "Write for

REVIEW
In addition to the fact that each article is plainly
marked, each partition in which the article belongs
is also plainly indicated, so that any merchandise
taken from the show-case may be easily replaced
in its proper position. In other words, this show-
case embodies the principle chat musical merchan-
dise should be so displayed that "there is a place
for everything and everything in its place."
The show-case itself is designed in an attractive,
high-grade manner, and measures 14 inches in
height, 15% inches in width and four inches in
depth. In accord with the policy maintained with
the production of their other show-cases, Buegel-
eisen & Jacobson will only charge their dealers
with the usual cost of the merchandise contained
in this show-case, and make no charge for the
show-case itself.

The Treasury Department has issued instruc-
tions regarding the methods to be followed by
importers in making certificates on entry of mer-
chandise and making application for reduction of
the entered value under the provision in the last
part of paragraph 1, Section 3, of the Tariff Act
of 1913.
According to Treasury officials, the certificates
of importers under this provision of the law have
in many instances not been in accordance with the
requirements of the law and in many others it
has been impossible to determine what was the
importer's contention. It is also claimed that in
a good many cases due diligence and inquiry on
the part of the importer has not been shown. In
order that there may be a greater uniformity and
compliance with the law the department has pre-
pared a special kind of form which must be used
in giving the data required by the law.
The instructions prescribe that the importer shall
state specifically the nature of the diligence ex-
ercised and the inquiry made on his part prior to
making his advance on entry and state from whom
and what information was obtained as a result
thereof. Such application should be submitted
through the Collector of Customs at the port of
entry, who will transmit the application to the
department at Washington with a full report.
