No. 3

Purchased
plant at Beldon and Ward avenues, Chicago,
where a complete line of Slingerland drums for
the professional and amateur trade will be
manufactured.
The new plant, which now makes the third
factory to be operated by this concern, is ideal-
ly constructed for the manufacture of drums
and gives the company ample space and work-
ing facilities lor a large production. It is three
stories high, 130 feet by 125 feet, with 40,000
square feet of floor space, and as it is open
on all sides there is plenty of light.
It is equipped throughout with special ma-
chinery of modern design. Although the
company took over the Liberty drum plant
some time ago, it was found that the parts
could not be used, and for the past six months
the company has been working on dyes and
tools. In this connection it will manufacture
all the hardware used. All sizes and styles of
drums will be made, as well as both metal and
wood snare drums. The company has with-
held full production of the drum plant until
the sample models were perfect in every re-
spect and the new drums will be marked by the
high degree of workmanship as well as a num-
ber of new features of design.
The Slingerland Co., which is owned and
controlled by the three Slingerland brothers,
was started by the present president and gen-
eral manager, H. H. Slingerland, ten years ago
and has enjoyed a steady growth since the first
factory was opened on Diversey avenue. After
a short time the business was moved to the
plant now known as No. 1, at 1815 Orchard
street, which is a two-story structure and
contains about 25,000 square feet of floor space.
The output of this factory consists of tenor-
banjos, banjo-mandolins, banjo-ukuleles and
other products of the stringed instrument fam-
ily. Factory No. 2 was purchased a number
of years ago and is located at 4709 South
Aberdeen avenue. This plant, situated in the
stockyards district near the source of raw
DURRO
mini cast drum, but the latter will be made at
the new plant at Beldon and Ward avenues just
purchased.

of musical merchandise. These windows tied
up the instrument display with the manufac-

ground was placed an open booklet, issued by

which constituted the display, were shown by

BOSTON, MASS., November 22.—The dealers in
small instruments and musical merchandise,
whose first gathering at the Hotel Bellevue was
chronicled in last week's issue of The Review,
met again a few evenings ago also at the Hotel
Bellevue. And it is of special interest that this
second meeting was even better attended than
the first. All the men present at the one were
on hand at the other and additional ones be-
sides. It was the unanimous opinion that the
aggregation place itself on a permanent basis,
and with the idea in mind of making the organ-
ization more of a club than a business body it
was tentatively decided to give it the name
of the Boston Music Trade Round Table. There
was an informal discussion of the development
of the idea of co-operation between the public
schools and the music dealers, some most in-
forming data of this development being pre-
sented by Mark Oettinger, of the Musicians'
Supply Co., who told of the plans which his con-
cern has put through by way of working effec-
tively with school teachers. Another dinner and
conference will be held on November 29.
