of this type from the company's dealers through-
out the country, and the banjo-guitar in par-
ticular is gaining considerably in popularity.
The "Vernon" style 10 banjo-guitar, which is
shown herewith, has a thirteen-inch head, nickel
plated rim, and thirty nickel plated brackets. It
is particularly noteworthy for its remarkable
tone volume, and judging from the advance or-
ders already received, it will be a welcome ad-
dition to the Bruno products.

VIOLIN MAKERJiOES TO WAR
LOUISVILLE, KY., August 6.—J. A. Finlay, a vio-
lin maker of this, city, has left for Montreal,
where he will join the Canadian fighting forces
for service across the sea. Mr. Finlay was
born in Glasgow, Scotland, and recently applied
for enlistment in the Officers' Reserve Corps,
and also in the regular army, but the fact that
he was not naturalized barred him from being
accepted. He, therefore, has joined a Canadian
regiment.
