MARKS OF KELLY PLATE
Assured Strength and Fine Finish Distinguishing
Features of Product of O. S. Kelly Co.
Every piano man who knows his business is aware
of the prime importance of the plate in the scheme
of piano building. The plate has been called "the
backbone of the piano," and the thought of strength
is suggested by the comparison. The fact that a
piano has a '"Kelly plate" is used as a good "talking
point" by many veteran piano salesmen.
The element of durability enters into the consider-
ation of pianos with many customers. In that way
the piano plate figures in the list of merits. It gives
an opportunity to the salesman to point to the Kelly
plate made by the O. S. Kelly Co., Springfield, O., as
an assurance of the durable quality so desired in a
piano. The O. S. Kelly Co.'s plates are produced by
the best casting methods and finished in the finest
manner. The fine, smooth appearance of Kelly plates
is a distinguishing mark of the product.

SLINGERLAND BANJO CO.
1815 Orchard Street
In response to a request from a violin connoisseur
in Boston, Lyon & Healy, Chicago, sent one of their
Stradivarius violins from their internationally famous
Partello collection to the Drake Hotel, where its won-
derful tone was broadcasted by Station WDAP.
Radio fans listening in at the regular Drake Concert
reported that the tone came through perfectly and
registered a new thrill in radio entertainment. This
magnificent instrument was played by Henri Selinger,
director of the Drake Concert Orchestra, and his
magical bow brought out all its famous beauty of tone
coloring.
The Duke of Edinburgh violin is of the golden
period (1722) and is probably the most perfect
Stradivarius violin in America today. It will un-
doubtedly increase very largely in value within the
next few years.
LYON & HEALY SAXOPHONE.
The Lyon & Healy saxophones, Couturier model,
are now a great factor in the musical instrument field.
In addition to the many Couturier agencies long es-
tablished, Lyon & Healy, Chicago, is now arranging
with many new dealers for the exclusive represen-
tation of these fine instruments. The Lyon & Healy
saxophone has a number of improvements which are
being extensively featured.
