THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
APRIL 27, 1918
LATEST BRUNO LITERATURE
Contains Much of Interest and Importance to
Dealers in the Musical Instrument Line
C. Bruno & Son, Inc., New York, musical mer-
chandise wholesalers and importers, have just
issued a four-page folder which features some
of the most popular instruments in their line
that are in demand at the present time. This
company has heen making extraordinary efforts
to co-operate with its dealers in every possible
way, and the merchandise that is listed in this
folder has a timely appeal that will doubtless
interest the company's clientele.
Among the instruments that are presented in
this folder are drums and accessories, lute
mandolins, banjo ukuleles, banjo mandolins and
various accessories. The demand for lute man-
dolins, banjo mandolins, etc., is steadily increas-
ing, and from all parts of the country musical
merchandise dealers report a more active trade
for these instruments than during any past sea-
son. Bruno products have long been popular
with the trade, and judging from all indications,
1918 will be a record-breaker for this successful
house.
