ORDERING WILSON DRUMS
Reasons for Well Known Advice of the Wil-
son Bros. Manufacturing Co. Under-
stood by Drummers.
ADVICE TO BUYERS SOUND
"Order Through Your Dealer," Phrase That Keenly
Interests Intelligent Drum Buyers.
"Order Through Your Dealer" is the constant ad-
vice of the Wilson Bros. Mfg. Co., 218-222 N. May
street, Chicago. There's a reason and it involves
the "Wilson Guarantee." When a professional or
amateur drummer gets a Wilson drum or any drum-
mer's accessory he is getting the finest product
that money or skill can produce. He gets the as-
surance from the dealer who supplies him. Deal-
ers know that Wilson products are good in every
particular so they unhesitatingly recommend them.
"Order through your dealer" is sensible advice
when given by a manufacturer with implicit faith
in the fine qualities of his goods. Wilson faith
is shared by Wilson dealers. Buyers of Wilson drums
and drummers' supplies can go to the nearest Wil-
son representative and see them demonstrated. If, by
chance, the dealer does not carry the particular ar-
ticle required in stock, he is always pleased to tele-
graph the Wilson Bros. Mfg. Co., which ships on
receipt of the message.
The spirit that has made the Wilson Bros. Mfg.
Co. dependable to the drum buyers, is shared by
the dealers who handle the Wilson lines. They
are as anxious to satisfy the drum buyers as the
Wilson house. In that way, "Order through your
dealer" is no mere phrase. Since the dealers come
in contact with the drummers themselves, the Wil-
son Bros. Mfg. Co. feels that the dealers can more
effectively demonstrate the merits of Wilson drums
right on the spot than the most intelligent Wilson
employes could do at a distance.
The desirability of the connection with the Wilson
Bros. Mfg. Co. is seen in the fact that Wilson drums
and accessories are sold by good dealers in every
state—from the largest dealers in the biggest cities
to the smaller dealers in the smallest towns. Every
music dealer whether or not he handles the Wil-
son line, should make a visit to the factory of the
Wilson Bros. Mfg. Co., an event of one of his
trips to Chicago. A great plant erected to produce
a specialty and with the capacity of 150,000 drums
a year is an interesting place. In all parts of the
world Wilson products advertise the factory; every
corner of the United States, Canada, Great Bri-
tain, France, Australia and South America Wilson
drums are seen and heard. And it is the greatest
pleasure of T. Wilson, head and founder of this
interesting business, to personally meet and do the
honors of the factory to visiting drummers and
dealers.
