Nesquehoning School
Band Uses Conns
HAZLETON, 'PA., April 27.—Landau's Music and
Jewelry Store of this city has just completely
equipped the newly organized Nesquehoning
School Band with over one hundred C. G. Conn
instruments. The organization of this band
was made possible through the efforts of Clar-
ence Toolc, supervising principal of the Nes-
quehoning public schools.
Having been in close touch with Landau's,
who have specialized in tin- organization of
various boys' bands throughout the coal region,
Mr. Took' decided to have Landau organize
the boys' band of Nesquehoning. Over one
hundred Conn instruments were furnished for
use in the band, these being purchased indi-
vidually by each member of the band, a sale of
mighty fine size.
A Saxophone Sextet
TOLKJKJ. ()., April 27.—Spratt's Saxophone Sex-
tet, a local group ot saxophone artists, is scor-
ing heavily in Toledo and vicinity. The sextet
is equipped completely with King saxophones

A Tip to the
Live Dealer!
Kinkel and the Silver Bell
Make Good in Dallas
One of the many professionals making big reputations throughout the
country with Bacon Silver Bell Banjos is R. H. Kinkel of Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Kinkel plays with the Jack Davis Orchestra and is also a mem-
ber of the Paul Cretien Quintette. Both of these orchestras are popu-
lar throughout the southwest and are much in demand for dances, due
largely to the wonderful tempo maintained by Kinkel on his Silver
Bell. He gives the instrument his unqualified endorsement for best
banjo effects.

A hontip Bridge Will
Improve the Tone,
Add to the Appearance,
and Greatly Improve the
Action of the Instrument
Take this tip, and you will find that your
sales will increase, for your customers
will be satisfied. The ordinary two-
legged bridge that comes with a banjo
uke is often slotted incorrectly, and is
made of soft maple which kills the tone
of the instrument. Owing to the very
slight tension of the strings, this style
of bridge frequently tips over. A Non-
tip Bridge cannot tip.
