FORMING A BAND.

It us a healthy sign of the times that every town and village wants its band. If you arc forming one in your locality, it will be to your advantage to communicate at once with the Dresden Piano Company, Ltd., Wellington. They are solo agents for Hawkes’ Excelsior Sonorous Band Instruments. These are tho finest in the world. They an used by champion hands everywhere. The Ballarat City Band won the Australasian Championship, playing on Hawkes’ instruments. They are superb in quality and tune. Each instrument is specially tupned by one of tho most highly skilled musicians in London. The inclusion of one, two, or three Hawkes’ instruments in a band is immediately noticeable, owing to the great added richness of the tone. A band all Hawkes’ must bo the acme of perfection, so far as the instruments go. Write in for particulars. The Dresden Piano Company, Ltd., Wellington. North Island manager: M U Brookes. Local representative: G. W. Mills, stationer, Broadway. Stratford (late Cargill’s),
