THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
THE S. S. STEWART UKULELE SOON READY FOR MARKET
Samuel Buegeleisen, head of the well-known
house of Buegeleisen & Jacobson, New York,
sole distributors for the S. S. Stewart instru-
ments, stated this week that there will be
placed on the market very shortly an S. S.
breaking sales totals the past few months. This
is particularly true with reference to the S. S.
Stewart banjo mandolins, banjos, banjo drums,
guitars and mandolins.
In fact, the S. S-
Stewart factory has been working to capacity
to fill the orders
which have been
received for these
products

dealers through-
out the country.
One o f t h e

AN INTERESTING CUSTOMS RULING
WAR DRUM BACK IN VIRGINIA
Board Fixes Duty on Imports on the Basis of
American Selling Prices
Worcester Continentals Taking Relic to Mu-
seum at Richmond
A decision of interest to importers of small
goods was recently handed down by the Board
of General Appraisers, in which the board de-
cided that goods made abroad, and intended for
export to this country, could not be invoiced
at the prevailing selling price which the goods
would bring in the country where they were
made, but must be listed at the current Amer-
ican selling price.
It very often happens that goods, are made
in foreign countries, and exported to Amer-
ica, bringing prices here which are greatly in
advance of the cost of the same goods in their
native market. Were these goods allowed to
enter this country listed for duty at the price
which they would bring in the country of manu-
facture, the duty, of course, would be smaller
than it would if they were invoiced at the
American selling price.
The board has de-
cided that all goods made abroad, but intended
primarily for American consumption, must be
invoiced at the price which they will bring
here.

Charles E. Bauer, of Newark, N. J., who
for many years, had been engaged in the mak-

week. He was sixty-five years of age, and is
survived by a widow and live children.

II. L. Hum, manager of the musical mer-
chandise department of Charles H. Ditson &
Co., New York, is back at his desk after a very
enjoyable combine business and pleasure trip.
In accordance with liis usual custom, Mr. Hunt
visited the offices of the < )liver Ditson Co.,
Pioston, Mass., and while there made arrange-
ments with Henry MacLaren, manager of the
cumpaiiy's musical merchandise department, to
accompany him on a trip to Chicago.
In the "Windy City" Mr. Hunt and Mr.
MacLaren found plenty of things to occupy
their time, spending an entire day in the mag-
nificent new home of Lyon & Healy, and also
visiting the various Lyon & Healy factories in
Chicago and the nearby towns. In the harp
factory they witnessed the completion of a
$6,500 Lyon & Healy harp, which Mr. Hunt
states is one of the finest harps ever manufac-
tured. They were also greatly impressed with
the new Lyon & Healy arch mandolins, which
will be announced in the near future. Lyon &
Mealy have other new lines of instruments in
process of manufacture which will be ready
shortly.
Some time was also spent in several string
factories in Chicago, subsequent to which Mr.
Hunt enjoyed a well-deserved vacation, and
Mr. MacLaren returned to Boston, via a trip
through the Ford automobile factory at De-
troit.
I'pon his return to New York, Mr. Hunt was
gratified to learn that the musical merchandise
department had closed a remarkably active
August trade, showing large gains over any pre-
ceding August. This business was healthy with
general band instruments, violins, ukuleles and
mandolins sharing in the month's trade.
C. H. Ditson & Co. have furnished the new
show at the New York Hippodrome with fifty
specially constructed banjos, tambourines and
sets of bones.

Several years ago the drum was bought by
Dr. A. F. Wheeler from a local dealer, who
had obtained it from the son of a Union vet-
eran. It had been found among the veteran's
effects some years after his death.
