the following interesting statement of the com- since that 'shipment is on hand,' so we are
wondering just what happened to our customer
as we have not heard from him. We were more
fortunate, however, on another shipment which
we sent of a No. 4 Silver Bell tenor-banjo, a

after the storm. He put it to good use for
the benefit of the sufferers.
