NEW FELSBERG CATALOG
Attractive Booklet Featuring Complete Line of
Musical Instrument Cases Now Ready
NEWARK, N. J., January 9.— Alfred L. Felsberg
& Co., successors to Maulbetsch & Wittemore,
manufacturers of fine musical instrument cases,
Spring- and Cross streets, have just distributed
among the jobbing trade their latest catalog
of cases. The catalog is an attractive one of
fifty-two pages. It is printed on high-grade
paper and the printing and engraving are of
a high order.
It is divided into three parts, the first covering
violin cases; second, band instrument cases, and
the third, banjos and mandolin cases. Cases
of every kind and shape for musical accessories
are listed in the catalog, including violins, single
and double; cornets, clarinets, saxophones, trom-
bones, music stands, French horns, cymbals,
drums, banjos, guitars, mandolins, shoulder
straps, slings and waist belts, music cases, music
rolls and satchels.
Since the distribution of the new catalog Mr.
Felsberg reports a large volume of business. The
quality of high-grade cases has been very good
and the Christmas trade was also exceptionally
large. Mr. Felsberg predicts an excellent year
for the musical merchandise business in 1922.
