TWO NEW CONN FRENCH HORNS
Models Which Find Favor Among Band and Orches-
tra Musicians Described in Folder.
The importance of the French horn in the equip-
ment of the full band is acknowledged in the factory
efforts of C. G. Conn, Ltd., Elkhart, Ind., to achieve
perfetcion in the instruments. Two new models in
French horns are widely advertised by the company
and have evoked the praises of professionals.
The newest of the Conn French horns is the 10-D,
a single horn, built in B-flat, only. This instrument
has won instant favor among orchestra and band
musicians of the highest caliber. It has four rotary
valves.
The new double horn, 6-D, has three rotary valves
and one piston. Its remarkable playing qualities
have been enthusiastically prasied by leading sym-
phony artists.
In describing the new models the company says
in its publicity: "You could cut the tubing of any
two Conn French horns of the same model at the
same point and measure the bore, inside, with a
micrometer, and find both instruments identically
the same.
"Such perfection in graduation", such absolute ab-
sence of any variation, is possible only through the
use of the famous hydraulic expansion process de-
veloped and perfected by Conn. Locked in a perfect
steel die, the tubing is filled with water and subjected
to tons of pressure which expands the tubing to the
perfect proportions of the die.
"The smooth-as-glass interior and accurately grad-
uated bore provide the perfect carriage for sound
waves which make Conn French horns perfect in
intonation, pure and beautiful in tone and easier than
ever before to play!"

TO SIMPLIFY PURCHASE FORMS
•National Association of Purchasing Agents Endorse
Movement to Standardize Order Forms.
The National Association of Purchasing Agents'
meeting in Washington, D. C , last week endorsed a
scheme to bring about a simplification of invoice,
inpuiry and purchase order forms for all lines of
industry. A formal request that the Division of
Simplified Practice of the Department of Commerce
call a conference of all graups interested in this
plan was made by the association which estimated
that a saving of $15,000,000 can be made to the busi-
ness concerns of the country.
This development is another step in the efforts
of the association to bring about greater economies
to American business. It is in keeping with the
work o f the National Association of Purchasing
x\gents in developing a standard catalog size and con-
tract forms; with the standardization of forms used
by the National Association of Credit Men, the
American Acceptance Council and the American
Bankers' Association, as well as the Federal Govern-
ment itself through the work of- the committee on
simplification of office procedure of the Bureau of the
Budget.

Cleo wound strings, made by S. Simon, 6163 South
Michigan avenue, Chicago, are eliciting the compli-
ments of the trade. According to Mr. Simon, who
recently made an extensive trip, serving customers
and taking orders, the Cleo strings occupy a fore-
most position in the favor of users and dealers.
The silent salesmen showcase is one of the things
that is making the Cleo strings popular with the deal-
ers. This is provided by the manufacturers for the
counter of the dealer.
It simplifies selling, as the customer can just
point out the string he desires. There is no delay
and no trouble in making the sale. The quality
of the string s soon creates a demand for them
once they have been introduced in a community. An-
other thing that helps the sale of Cleo strings is the
thirty-day guarantee slips that the dealer gets to
give to the customer."
Mr. Simon states this week that as a result of the
increased business of the last few months he had
increased his factory space and is now able to get
out almost double the amount of goods than formerly.
