THE
MAKE IMPORTANT^ANNOUNCEMENT.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson Define the Policy Which
Will Govern Their Business Operations.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, 113 University place,
New York, made the following interesting an-
nouncement this week :
"As all our friends well know, our business was
built up along conservative and absolutely orig-
inal lines. Our foremost principle has been from
the start to sell the best merchandise that the
market affords at the lowest possible prices.
"We have gone to considerable expense in the
past month in having efficiency engineers investi-
gate and report the present condition of our busi-
ness. They have proven to us conclusively that
if our friends will help us by taking care of their
accounts in thirty days we will be in a position
with our present organization to give our cus-
tomers better values by a far greater percentage
than they have ever received.
"It will be possible for us to furnish the
means to our dealers for successfully meeting the
mail order competition of the importers and job-
bers throughout the country who are also cater-
ing to the retail trade direct. Our dealers will be
able to secure for themselves the local business
right next door to them, and which under proper
conditions would go to them.
"Our merchandise profits under the new pro-
posed arrangement will be no greater or less than
heretofore, but the great decrease in the cost of
our doing business will enable us to realize sub-
stantial savings, which we will return as divi-
dends to our trade through the medium of re-
duced prices.
"We have asked all our friends to co-operate
with us in every possible way to make our new
plan a success. The fact that the majority of our
customers, among whom are many who formerly
were careless in meeting their obligations promptly
—and they now admit it—are very much pleased
with the results which have already been accom-
plished is the best evidence that the principle on
which our plan is established is the right one."
Frank Lock, United States manager for an Eng-
lish insurance company, has just completed a re-
view of fire statistics for the year, and says the
Edison fire in West Orange was the largest.
MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
HOHNER HARMONICA IN FAVOR.
No. 1896 Marine Band Is One of the Big Sellers
with This House—Liked by Buying Public.
One of the most popular sellers of the extensive
line of mouth organs manufactured by M. Hohnei,
Trossingen, Germany, is the harmonica shown In
the accompanying illustrations, which is known as
"No. 1896—Marine Band.'' W. J. llaussler, adver-
tising manager of the American branch of M.
Hohner, 114 East Sixteenth street, New York,
states that the "Marine Band" has had an excep-
Hohner Marine Band Harmonica 1896.
tional sale in the Eastern States, and music deal-
ers throughout the country display it prominently
as an harmonica that possesses exceptional tonal
merit.
The "Marine Band" has ten single holes, twenty
reeds, brass plates, heavy convex nickel plateo*
covers, with open back, and is packed in a durable
hinged box with attractive lettering on the cover.
It is one of the leading Richter models of the
Hohner line, and its signal success has won for ft
an important position in the American harmonica
field.
MEANS FOR FASTENING STRINGS.
(Special to The Review.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, January 25.—Joseph Boh-
mann, Chicago, 111., is the inventor of a Stringed
Musical Instrument, patent No. 1,125,262, for which
was granted him last week, and which relates more
particularly to a novel form of tail piece or means
for holding the ends of the strings, and to a hand

Some dealers may say that they cost more than
others.
Excelsior drams 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

In speaking to a representative of The Review,
H. W. Weymann, of H. A. Weymann & Son, 1010
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa., makers and im-
porters of musical instruments, stated that while his
house had reduced prices of foreign-made musical
merchandise in accordance with the reductions of
other houses, still he did not know just how long
these would be in force. "I believe that now sees
the lowest prices at which musical merchandise will
ever be sold," added Mr. Weymann, "for it is evi-
dent that the foreign factories are working only
part time and that the supply of goods is limited.
Should there come a call for the enlistment of
those men now in the factories, it would mean that
no more -foreign products will be manufactured,
and in view of this condition it means that the
prices of these goods will be doubled.
"I advocate very strongly the purchase of all
the musical merchandise that the dealer can secure
at the present prices, even if he has to take a
year's supply, for it is apparent that with the com-
ing shortage of goods the prices will be advanced,
and I am of the opinion that before the war is over
you will see prices practically doubled or trebled."
Mr. Weymann also added that the Weymann line
of Mandolutes and other stringed instruments are
being sold in constantly growing quantities.

form a convenient and substantial construction. It
is particularly applicable to such instruments as
mandolins, harp-guitars, or the like, although, of
course, it may be used on various similar types.
I he objects of this invention are to provide a
simple and convenient means for fastening the
strings which will securely hold the ends thereof
and tend to improve the tone of the instrument,
such fastening device being arranged so that it
will protect the player's hands from the screws
with which the strings engage.
