ELKHART, IND., October 24.—Announcement has
BOSTON, MASS., October 25.—Word comes from
been made by C. G. Conn, Ltd., of the new
Conn Armored clarinet, which is a new type
of metal clarinet, the instrument which is so
popular to-day. This clarinet is made with a
composition core which is encased in armor
of sterling silver or gold. The composition
core was developed in the Conn laboratories
especially for this use and is made of a kind of
porous substance something like hard rubber.
The metal armor is nearly as thick as a
dime and protects the clarinet against crack-
ing, splitting or checking. One of the tests to
which it was subjected during the experimental
stage was to throw the bell down with force
upon a cement floor. It would bounce on the
floor, but outside of a dent in the armor, was
absolutely unharmed. The Armored clarinet
can be taken apart for cleaning and packing
like the old wood clarinet, for it has the same
joints—barreled top, bottom and bell.
The Silver Armored clarinet retails for $150,
prices for the gold instrument are made on
application.

ELKHART, IND., October 24.—The Poppler Piano
Co., of Grand Forks, N. D., increased its band
instrument business eighteen times during the
last three years, according to an article in Conn-
tact, the house organ of C. G. Conn, Ltd. This
was done through a systematic band-organizing
program among the schools, with which a $175,-
000 market was created. Thirty bands with
membership of from forty-five to 125 were or-
ganized.
Another Western dealer doing good work
with Conn band instruments is the Strong
Music Co., of Grand Junction, Colo., which
increased its band instrument business eight
times during the last three years through school
work. This increase was made in the district
about 250 miles by 150 miles, containing only
45,000 inhabitants, scattered in small towns,
hamlets and cattle camps.

Joe Termini
ing in a most diverting manner in that city.
This tall, scarecrow-like comic breaks about
every rule held sacred by the vaudevillians in
his clever slap-stick act. He juggles his violin
and performs some smart stunts on his Vega-
phone banjo and he coaxes some of the hottest
jazz out of his specially made Vega guitar that
audiences ever .heard. Mr. Termini has made
many extensive vaudeville tours throughout the
United States, and is widely known in theatri-
cal and guitar circles.
