WHERE SUPPLY MEETS DEMAND.
The musical merchandise department of the Bush
& Lane Piano Co., Seattle, Wash., as a busy and
interesting place at all hours of the day since the
manager inaugurated the Holton Talent Test for
those ambitious to become saxophone players, but
who are doubtful about the extent of their natural
musical ability. "Now you can know if you can
play—determine your natural talent for this most
fascinating of all wind instruments—all before de-
ciding, and at no expense to you," is the invitation
printed in the newspapers.
The test is made by means of a phonograph record
and a saxophone and all tests are given in private
and to one person at a time. "An unsuspected gift
may lie within you, waiting only to be brought to
light. Convince yourself. The sooner you mail the
coupon the sooner you may find the path to a greater
happiness and contentment," is the encouraging in-
ducement. Needless to say the testing activities have
resulted in many saxophone sales.

SITUATION IN SUPPLIES
Facts in Various Lines of Commodities Which Enter
Into Musical Instrument Manufacture.
Wool prices in Northwest centers continue to rise.
The holdings are small, however, owing to liberal
exporting caused by good prices abroad.
Business in plate foundries is being stimulated by
generous orders for plates by the piano industries.
Even before election day the increased liveliness was
apparent.
Lumber production is below normal according to
the report of the Western Pine Manufacturers' As-
sociation.
According to a Department of Commerce report
for August, 1924, new and unfilled orders for piano
benches and stools in factories totalled $91,032 com-
pared to $73,024 in July.
