BUESCHER'S BEAUTIFUL NEW DISPLAY
Tn line with their established policy of supplying deal-
ers with attention compelling material for display pur-
poses, the Buescher Band Instrument Company is distrib-
uting the beautiful new display which holds the new
Aristocrat Alto and Tenor Saxophones. This display is
richly finished in black, gold, green and white an:l has a
beautiful green reflecting" paper which serves as a back-
ground for each instrument. It is SVfe feet high and 5 feet
2 inches wide. A miniature stage setting is provided for
the Alto and Tenor Saxophones. These new instruments,
which were introduced by Buescher last fall have been
growing in popularity until now the Company reports the
demand has far exceeded its greatest expectations. As a
result there is a large number of orders on hand for these
instruments which are being supplied daily to leading-
dealers throughout the country. There is a rapidly in-
creasing demand among musicians for them.
The display is very sturdily built and is so designed
that it can be folded flat which makes it possible to store
the display and use it again from time to time during
the year. Buescher dealers throughout the United States
are receiving this display now.

HUGH LIKES "TO POUND IT OUT'
HIMSELF
Although he has several of the finest stenographers and
one of the latest type dictaphones available at all times,
Hugh Stewart, Wurlitzer Vice-President and Sales Man-
ager, often confines himself to his office with a typewriter
when he has some trade letter, speech, or sales plan to
prepare. Hugh started his business career as a stenogra-
pher and even today it takes a pretty snappy typist to
keep up with him when he begins to pound out his
thoughts on paper.
WONDERFUL POST CONVENTION
TOUR IN VIRGINIA
No part of the United States has been Ihe center of
greater interest or received more publicity in recent years
than has Virginia and its colonial capital Williamsburg.
Arrangements have been made for the members of the
Music Trades to enjoy the good fellowship of a short
visit to three great American shrines following the Con-
vention or enroute to their homes — namely, Williams-
burg, the second and most important colonial capital;
Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in
America and its first colonial capital; and Yorktown, the
scene of Cornwallis' surrender to General Washington
and the actual birthplace of the United States as an
independent nation.
Williamsburg today not only looks as ii did in the days
when it was the colonial center of Virginia's social and
political activity, wealth and fashion, but it actually lives
the part, \lvvc people live and work as they did .'?()() years
ago.
You will see Williamsburg together with Jamestown
and Yorktown, the three great colonial shrines on our
Post Convention Tour. The cost will be astonishingly
low. You would never guess it. Ask about the "Special
Routing Ticket," Write to Mr. W. A. Mennie, Secretary,
45 West 4. r )th Street, New York City for full information.
