stalling many new booths and studio rooms.

son stringed instruments, Victor and Columbia
talking machines and records are featured in a
big way. Radio is to be added also. Ben Blue-
stein is the experienced assistant manager, and

Special Selections of Musical Instruments of
Various Types for Gift Purposes Included in
Special Catalog Recently Issued
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, the well-known mu-
sical instrument wholesalers in New York, re-
cently issued for the use of their dealers a
comprehensive special catalog of musical mer-
chandise for the holiday trade. The catalog,
embracing some thirty-two pages, covers many
types of instruments, ranging from piano
accordions through the list of harmonicas, vio-
lins and accessories, such as cases and bows,
saxophones clarinets, and other types of band
instruments, guitars, banjos, mandolins and a
variety of products that are calculated to make
desirable presents.
The catalog is so designed that it may be
easily folded and sent through the mails, one-
half of the front cover being left blank so that
the dealer may insert the name and address of
his prospects. The issuance of the catalog is
most timely, for it is designed to be placed in
the hands of the public just at a time when the
question of holiday buying is being considered
seriously.

('amp, at Plattsburg, N. Y., each Summer. As
a result he has a wide reputation as a leader.
The idea of an Intercollegiate Band Contest
has been in Lieut. Hopf's mind for some time
past. The success of the many band contests
held annually in various parts of the country
among high school bands, those representing
fraternal organizations, etc., encouraged him
to develop the idea with a view to holding an
intercollegiate band tournament in the East
next Spring. In this movement he will ask the
support of the musical merchandise men and of
C. M. Tremaine, Director of the National Bu-
reau for the Advancement of Music, who has
had much to do with the conduct of band con-
tests for several years. It is believed that a
contest such as that proposed, given proper
publicity, will do much to foster the organiza-
tion and encouragement of college and school
bands and orchestras throughout the country.
In addition to the presence of Lieut. Hopf,
there will be a number of other interesting
features presented at this joint meeting, and it
is expected and hoped that a full attendance
will be present.
