and Endorse the
Paramount Banjo
Tony Colliclo. Banjoist with the
Vincent Lopez Orchestra, says:
"Since adopting the Paramount
Banjo exclusively, both Mr. Lopez
and myself have found that its piano
volume and harp tone Quality make
it the most desirable banjo for modem
orchestra work. I heartily endorse
and recommend it."
Playing over WEAF, for OKeh

Orchestra is helping the PARA-

Now Distributed Directly
Orpheuin banjos continue to rank with the
best sellers in banjo circles, according to Wil-
liam L. Lange, manufacturer of these instru-
ments, 225 East Twenty-fourth street, New
York. The recent addition to the line of the
new Super-Orpheum instruments with special
construction features has been an increased
lactor in their popularity.
The Orpheum and Super-Orpheum banjos are
now distributed directly to the trade from the
Lange factory and during the past month Mr.
Lange reports a large number of new dealers
who are now handling these lines.
Paramount banjos, the high-grade professional
instruments which are also manufactured by
Mr. Lange, are still as popular as ever with,
professional musicians. Mr. Lange has received
a number of orders for Paramounts from Euro-
pean countries, but he has been unable to fill
them because of the many domestic orders wait-
ing to be taken care of.
