T. L. LUTKINS, INC.
Specialty Leather House Holds Vast Stocks of Rare
Varieties to Suit the Piano Manufacturer.
One of the most interesting specialty houses sup-
plying piano materials 'is that of T. L. Lutkins, Inc.,
New York. Pneumatic leather manufacture is a
specialty with this house, and vast stocks of great
variety always await the orders of the playerpiano
manufacturers.
T. L. Lutkins, Inc., is the only house of its kind
devoting special attention to the requirements of the
music goods manufacturing industry. In fact, great
stocks of leather carried by this house are used solely
by manufacturers of pianos, players, organs and pneu-
matic actions.. The house is a pioneer in that species
of leather tanning. The skins are selected from the
best varieties obtainable, and rigid inspection of
every skin before and after tanning is a policy of the
house.
The importance of fine leathers in the manufacture
of organs, pianos and playerpianos, naturally draws
attention to a specialty leather house like that of T.
L. Lutkins, Inc., exporter and manufacturer of all
kinds of leather required by the music goods indus-
try. The music industry has been indebted to this
house through three generations, beginning with
Theodore L. Lutkins.
and employing expert mechanics, the company is
enabled to turn out a high-class banjo that appeals
to amateurs and assures the means to sales and profits
for the observant dealers.
CHAMBER WILL APPEAL.
The Music Industries Chamber of Commerce will
again petition the Interstate Commerce Commission
for a suspension of the new rates on phonographs
with radio installation, which the railroads have put
into effect on October IS as a result of the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the pre-
vious case, which was argued in April and the de-
cision handed down August 14. In the opinion of the
Chamber, the rates announced for official territory—
that is, the eastern part of the country—are double
those which the Commission apparently approved in
its decision.
THE CONN-ATLANTA CO.
The Conn Atlanta Co., Atlanta, Ga., representing
the band and orchestra instruments of C. G. Conn,
Ltd., Elkhart, Ind., has been moved from 221 Peach-
tree street to new quarters at 62 North Broad street,
where a more spacious store has been leased. The
new quarters have been remodeled to suit the pur-
poses of the company.
A BRUNSWICK ENTHUSIAST.
R. L. Berry, Springfield, 111., a Brunswick dealer,
printed this in the newspapers recently: "If you
want a phonograph, Brunswick has it. If you pre-
fer a combination phonograph and radio, Brunswick
has that, too. If you haven't yet seen the new Bruns-
Appreciation of Line of Slingerland Banjo Co., Chi- wick Radiolas, we have a treat in store far you."

SLINGERLAND BANJO FAVORED
A problem confronting every musical instrument
dealer is to make the amateur as satisfied with his
purchase as he would be if he had bought the same
high-priced model used by the professional. The
problem is in a great measure solved for him by the
manufacturer who makes the dealer's problem his
own. How to help the dealer add to his banjo sales,
increase his profits, and make every customer on his
banjo sales list a satisfied one, is the self-appointed
job of the Slingerland Banjo Co., Chicago.
The bulk of banjo sales are made to amateurs,
which is inevitable, as the amateurs are more numer-
ous than the professionals. Of course the dealer is
always complimented by making a sale to the pro-
fessional and broadcasting the fact is good advertis-
ing, but the professionals are so limited in number
that no business could exist on their patronage alone.
The result is that the music dealer counts on build-
ing up his business by sales to amateurs, and it is
fortunate for him that every day adds to the great
army of people who are attracted to the banjo. Many
of those people are not yet very particular about the
merits of the banjo they buy, and it is here where the
dealer who handles a reliable make saves the situa-
tion for the cause of banjo sales.
The big amateur call for tenor banjos provided an
opportunity for the Slingerland Banjo Co., which pro-
vides a big line of handsome banjos that look and
sound like those used by professionals in vaudeville
and in orchestras. By selecting the proper materials
