BUESCHER AGAIN EXPANDS
New Addition to Band Instrument Factory at Elk-
hart, Ind., Will Increase Productiveness.
Pictured here in process of construction is the new-
est addition to the mammoth Buescher factory at
Elkhart, Indiana, largest manufacturers in the world
of exclusively high-grade band instruments and saxa-
phones.
Ground was broken for this addition in May last.
It will house correspondence and clerical depart-
ments now in the main building and whose removal
to the new wing will allow expansion of various me-
chanical departments heretofore crowded beyond ca-
pacity. Talking with a representative of Presto, F.
A. Buescher, active head of the Buescher Band In-
strument Company, said:
"In planning this addition we have aimed at over-
coming the dissappointments some of our large deal-
TUNERS"
Here are
BASS STRINGS
ers experienced during the holiday season last year.
We expect to take care of our trade without delay
this year.
"The trade should remember, however, that no mat-
ter how large our facilities may be, it is not at all
likely that we shall ever be able to take care of the
dealer who orders in the first weeks of December the
Buescher instruments he expects to sell during the
Christmas holidays.
"It would be the height of folly for us to over-
extend. We are in position to care for the natural
expansion that has accrued through propaganda and
advertising of Buescher instruments as home instru-
ments and as the best instruments for professional
band and orchestra players. We gauge the broad-
ening of the market to represent an increase of 25
per cent over last year's business and we are now in
position to give the best of service to the trade that
is ordinarily forehanded in the placing of orders.
"Plans we have in preparation comprehend an ex-
tension of the field for the cupped mouth-piece instru-
ments. A mute we have just perfected solves all the
problems of practice at home and we look for a very
great increase in the demand for trumpets, cornets
and trombones within the next year."
