NEW TENOR BANJOLAS POPULAR.
H. A. Weymann & Sons Report Big Demand

(Special to The Review.)
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 25.—The new tenor
•banjolas made by II. A. Weymann & Sons are so
greatly in demand, especially with the tone ampli-
fiers, that they are not able to get them out fast
enough. These amplifiers greatly increase the
tone, not only in volume but in quality, and they
are now being made so that they will withstand
the hardest usage and any climate. "The schools
have all started up," says Harry Weymann, "and
the demand from every section of the country is
greatly increased, but we hope to be able to satisfy
all our dealers."
The Weymann firm are very well stocked with
foreign goods, which they were able to get from
Germany more than a year ago, and as they or-
dered three times the amount of stock they knew
they would require when the war broke out, they
are now able to give their trade the benefit of this
foresight by retaining the old price.

determine whether the original ruling was reason-

In June, 1910, the carriers adopted a rule defining

The articles invoiced for export at the American

shared in this decrease, 'the figures for 1913 being

The exports to the United States from the Chem-

1913, and for 1914 the exports of these instru-

Excelsior drums cost more because they are

We could make them cost less by 1 using 1 cheaper
