THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
TRADE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Says Samuel
Buegeleisen, of
INTRODUCE "EXPOSITION BAND."
Buegeleisen
Jacobson, in Discussing Prospects
for
49
&
the
New Year—Holiday Trade Satisfactory.
Samuel Buegeleisen, head of the well-known
house of Buegeleisen & Jacobson, 113 University
place, New York, is decidedly optimistic in refer-
ring to the outlook for the new year, and bases this
optimism, not only on his personal observations and
the reports of his travelers, but on the orders now
being received from all parts of the country.
"The general business outlook for 1915 in this
country is encouraging from every standpoint," said
Mr. Buegeleisen in a chat with The Review. "There
is a steadier tone in financial and commercial cen-
ters than there has been for the past six months,
and every move made by the important factors in
the business world is calculated to inspire confi-
dence and optimism in the business situation.
"Our own trade has been very satisfactory, and
in spite of the handicaps we have been working
under our sales totals have been most pleasing.
Judging from the orders we are now receiving for
immediate delivery, the dealers in all parts of the
country have very little stock on their shelves, and
evidently have sufficient business in sight to justify
their placing adequate merchandise orders to re-
plenish their stock."
NEW CONSULAR RULES.
New Harmonica Brought Out by M. Hohner in

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Says They
M. Hohner, 114 East Sixteenth street, New
York, the prominent harmonica and accordeon
manufacturer, is meeting with signal success with
a new harmonica which he recently introduced first
on the Pacific Coast and then throughout the coun-
try. This new mouth-organ is designated as the
"Exposition Band," and its name is particularly
Andrew J. Peters, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Department in charge of customs, who
was in this city last week conferring with local
officials, told a Times reporter that further com-
promises or postponement in the matter of the ap-
plication of the new consular regulations are a
thing of the past so far as the department is con-
cerned. The rules, as
amended by President
Wilson's executive or-
der, were put into ef-
fect November 30, al-
though collectors and
others are instructed
to exercise leniency for
a while in the passing
of invoices.

Some dealers may say that they coat more than
others.
Excelsior drams cost more because they are
worth more. Cost more to make.
We could make them cost less toy using oheaper
material, use less care in making them, and dis-
pense with the new patented improvements.
If we did, however, Excelsior Drams would not
be the Standard as they are to-day. Write for
