Mr. Yerkes and his associates are reported to have
bought the Olympic Disk recording plant and press-
ing plant at Long Island City and will bring out
their first releases shortly under the trade name of
Yerkes' Dance Records.
Every record made will bear on its label the three
words, "Buescher Instruments Used." All the Yerkes
orchestras use Buescher band instruments and saxo-
phones exclusively.
That American-made band instruments are taking
rank as the equal if not the superior of those made in
Europe is evidenced by the testimonials given Ameri-
can-made instruments by experienced players after
a comparison with foreign makes.
The following letter is typical of those being re-
ceived by American manufacturers. The letter is
from L. F. Sherwood, of Chatham, Mass., a well-
known musician, who has given close study to vari-

the Woodworker. The bad odor may be due to the
fact that partly decomposed stock was used, or that
the glue itself is decaying. For high-grade work it is
usually specified that the glue be sweet; that is, it
must not have an offensive odor, which is determined
by smelling a hot solution of the glue. The odor of
different glues varies considerably, and it is difficult
or impossible to express the different "shades." It
is not usually difficult, however, to determine whether
or not the odor is clean, or, as it is commonly called,
sweet. The temperature and strength of solution are
not usually specified.
