EUGENE SARTORY NOT DEAD.
DEATH OF ANDS. KOCH.
Head of Famous Violin and Violin Bow House
in Paris Not Killed in Battle as Reported—
Many Friends in America Rejoice at News.
Head of Long Established Musical Mer-
chandise House Passes Away in Trossingen.
The many friends in the musical merchandise
trade of Eugene Sartory, Paris, France, the inter-
nationally prominent violin bow maker, will be glad
to learn that Mr. Sartory is enjoying the best of
health at the present time and actively directing the
interests of the Sartory institution. The products
of this house continue in great demand among
leading violinists.
Last summer several reports were received in this
country stating that Mr. Sartory had met his death
in battle, one of these reports being printed in the
columns of The Music Trade Review. It is with
great pleasure that we learn of the falsity of these
statements and Mr. Sartory's present activity.

Buegeleisen & Jacobson Suggests That Dealers
Look Up Their Holiday Requirements.
"Although we are making every possible effort
to supply our dealers with the stock they order, we
are being severely handicapped by the shortage of
merchandise of all kinds and descriptions," said
Samuel Buegeleisen, head of Buegeleisen & Jacob-
son, 113 University place, New York. "Shipments
of goods from abroad practically ceased some time
ago, and we would therefore suggest to music
dealers that they anticipate their holiday require-
ments as much as possible and place their orders
in advance for the merchandise they will need."

EXCELSIOR DRUMS ™ STANDARD
Some dealers may say that they cost more than
others.
Excelsior drums cost more because they are
worth more. Cost more to make.
We could make them cost less by using 1 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
