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 fchri Auckland Exhibition. Its excellent tone 'was in great measure due to the 'Hawkes' Kxeelsinr Sonorous Instruments used. Then again, the Involl Springs Band,'which won the World's Championship in 1913 at Crystal Palace, London, acknowledged that 'Hawkes' Instruments "played am important part" in its success. All Xew Zealand !saudsmen 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.
