been made by the National High School Or-
chestra and Band Camp officers that arrange-
ments have been made with the Victor Talking
Machine Co. for recording a set of six double-
face records of selections played by the student

inspection of the Conn factory and other inter-
esting events, culminating in the grand banquet
on Saturday evening in the new ballroom of
the Hotel Elkhart, which is the headquarters
of the convention.
Arrangements have been made for a unique
exhibit in the lounge just off the lobby of the
Hotel Elkhart. This exhibit will include some
specially built displays of instruments and also
some special displays dramatizing the sales
points on Conn instruments and on the organ-
ization of bands. One of these displays will
show the 510 individual parts which go to make
up a Conn alto saxophone. Another will dram-
atize the exclusive talking points on Conn in-
struments such as the hydraulic expansion proc-
ess, drawn and rolled tone hole socket, experi-
ence and background of the company, design
used by great artists, etc.
This exhibit will be specially lighted. The
purpose will be to enable visitors at the con-
vention to pick up a lot of inspiration and sell-
ing ideas through these dramatized exhibits
without having to listen to speeches.
A part of the program will be devoted to an
exhibit and brief discussions of the 1929 adver-
tising and sales promotion pieces. These will
include a model show window in which will be
used some of the new Conn window display
material. Also some of the new models of
Conn instruments.
Exhibited also at the convention will be one
of the largest direct mail campaigns ever pre-
pared by the Conn company. This will in-
clude eight special mailing pieces prepared to
help the dealer sell Conn band instruments.

In a Trade Paper some time ago, appeared an advertisement telling a STORY about the
METAL CLARIONET, in which the advertiser tried to intimidate the trade from buying any
other make.
Let us tell you the HISTORY about the KOHLERT'S SONS Metal Clarionet, produced by
the well-known makers of
High-Grade Wood and Metal, Wind and Reed Instruments
for about ninety years, with an enviable reputation behind them unparalleled (by any other
manufacturer.
The name of KOHLERT'S SONS stands for efficiency, integrity, and is a by-word in the
musical world all over. The manufacturers will protect any dealer against any patent litigation
by virtue of buying the V. KOHLERT'S SONS Metal Clarionet, which they introduced prior
to 1905—at least twenty-two years before a patent was applied for—embodying all features
claimed in said patent.
