THE
GUT STRING MANUFACTURE IN FILMS.
Ashland Manufacturing Co.'s Big Plant in Mo-
tion Pictures—Complete Process Shown—
Available for Dealers' Use in Local Centers.
(Special to The Review.)
CHICAGO, I I I . , February 21.—E. C. Seaton, of the
Ashland Manufacturing Co., who returned late last
week from a trip through the East, announced that
work had been completed upon the preparation of
a motion picture film showing the process of man-
ufacture of gut strings as carried on in the immense
factory of the Ashland Co. This is one of the
greatest and most im-
portant industrial films
ever made, it is said,
as it portrays from
start to finish an in-
dustry that is prac-
tically in its infancy in
this country.
The United States
Government has made
a request for twenty
sets of this film for
circulation not only in
the United States, but
also in foreign coun-
tries, as the Govern-
ment has been quick to
realize the educational
v a l u e of industrial
films and their com-
mercial value w h e n

countries.
Members of the trade who have witnessed an ex-
hibition of the reel declare that the film impresses
upon one the wonderful improvement in the proc-
ess of manufacture, as compared with the manu-
facture of strings only a few years ago.

W. M. Thompson, publicity manager of the Ash-
land Manufacturing Co., is making preparations
whereby the company will lend copies of the film
to dealers throughout the country, and a number of
musical instrument houses have already made re-
quests for this service, inasmuch as any motion pic
ture theatre will gladly make favorable arrange-
ments whereby the reel can be run off with re-
sultant advertising value both to the local dealer
and his small goods department. The company
makes no charge for the service as it is part of a
campaign to popularize the Ashland Co.'s line of
strings.

after a four days' illness, of pneumonia. Born in
Terryville, Mr. Rouse was for some years man-
ager for F. J. Bacon & Co., manufacturers of vio-

mother and three sisters.
THE NEW EXPORT RULES.
Since the going into effect the first of the month
of the new export declaration rules, officials at
the Custom House have found that a great deal
of misapprehension exists among shippers regard-
ing the requirements of the regulations. Accord-
ingly, twelve clerks from the Bureau of Statistics,
who are conversant with the kind of data wanted
by the Government, have been transferred for the
time being to the Marine Division, where the ac-
tual filing of the declarations is made. It was
said recently that the presence of these clerks
will make it possible for shippers to be advised
just what is essential in filling in their declara-
tions, and what is immaterial.
