MARTIN HANDCRAFT DISPLAY
QUICK REPAIR SERVICE
United Specialty Co., Monticello, Ind., Assures Com-
petent Work on Recovering and Rebushing Keys.
The United Specialty Co., Monticello, Ind., is
equipped to perform competent factory service for
dealers, repairmen, and tuners requiring keys recov-
ered and rebushed and pneumatics repaired. The
company has a staff of experienced men with the
ability to perform a key recovering and rebushing
job until the keys look like new ones. Pneumatics
are repaired in the same workmanlike way.
Fast service is guaranteed in every job and that is
a feature of the methods of the United Specialty Co.
that should commend it to the trade. Sometimes the
promptest service is required by the man or firm with
a job of key recovering or pneumatic repairing and
quickness in accomplishing the work is highly appre-
ciated by them. That quality in the service of the
United Specialty Co. is what retains every customer
made.
In addition to fast and competent service the prices
are alluring. Here are figures from the list of prices:
Fifty-two heads and tails (best heavy pyralin ivory),
$8.00; fifty-two fronts, $2.50; eighty-eight keys re-
bushed, $4.00; fifty-two fronts cleaned and polished,
$1.00.
The Swedish variety of spruce (Picea excelsa), a
variety not unlike our common spruce in the East,
furnishes the bulk of the raw material for the Swed-
ish pulp and paper industry.
A NOTABLE CONVENTION EXHIBIT.
A full line of Martin Handcraft band instruments
was displayed at the recent trade convention in Chi-
cago by the Chicago Musical Instrument Co., and
proved interesting to hundreds of dealers.
The instruments of the Martin Band Instrument
Co., Elkhart, Ind., were, most of them, beautifully
finished in gold. The instruments were shown against
a background of silk plush, the result being most
pleasing.
O. P. Bassett, general manager of the Martin Band
Instrument Co., and Fred A. Holtz, manager of the
sales and advertising department, spent most of the
FAIRBANKS
PIANO PLATES
time during the convention entertaining visitors. They
report it by far the most successful exhibit of its kind
ever put on by the company.
The Chicago Musical Instrument Co , which staged
the display of Martin band instruments and Bacon
banjos, is also distributor for a number of other
standard lines, including Ludwig drums, C. F. Mar-
tin string instruments, Hohner harmonicas and ac-
cordions and a complete line of accessories and musi-
cal merchandise. This house reports splendid busi-
ness during the convention.
