IMPORTANT TO BANDSMEN. The most proficient musicians always choose the best instruments. And the band composed of players who use the best instruments secures honors, prizes and engagements. Take for example the Royal Artillery Band, which proved a triumphant success at the Auckland Exhibition. Its excellent tone was in great measure due to the 'Hawkes' Excelsior Sonorous Instruments used. Then again, the Erwell Springs Hand, which won the World's Championship in 1913,at Crystal Palace, London, acknowledged that 'Hawkes' Instruments "played an important part" in its success. All New Zealand Bandsmen who wish to improve their tone should get 'Hawkes' Instruments. A new band starting with 'Hawkes' will have taken a big step towards success. Write for Catalogue.
