The Slingerland Purchase
CHICAGO, III., August IS.—Considerable interest
has been shown in local musical merchandise
circles in the purchase by the Slingerland
Banjo Co. of the assets of the Liberty Musical
Instrument Co., as announced in last week's
issue of The Review. Talking to a representa-
tive of The Review to-day, H. H. Slingerland,
president of the company, stated: "The state-
ment that we have purchased the Liberty
assets and intend to carry on the manufacture
of their full line is correct. This is merely
an addition to our present equipment and we
expect that by next week we will be in full
operation. I intend personally to supervise
that business as well as our other lines."
The purchase includes all of the physical
assets, stock, machinery and merchandise in
process, but does not include the accounts re-
ceivable. This makes the third enterprise
headed by Mr. Slingerland.
A Correction
In the report in last week's issue of the dis-
solution of the firm of Perlberg & Halpin it
was erroneously stated in the headline that
Henry Perlberg is now in control of that com-
pany, having taken over the interest of Abe Hal-
pin.
The partnership is liquidating and Mr.
Perlberg, according to present plans, will estab-
lish another musical merchandise business at
the same address September 1.
at a convention held here of the teachers of
the province and another selected band of sev-
enty played for the Provincial Festival.
