New Models Howard Meindolins.
Warranted Perfect Scale
No Mandolin could have obtained the signal recognition the Howard has won among professionals everywhere without having
the highest musical qualities and durability. These superb instruments are built for service. Only the very best seasoned materials
are used in their construction, so that they will not warp nor split. Every Howard is guaranteed to have a perfect scale and the
tone is the artist's ideal, for while "mellow as a violin" in quality, in volume it is powerful almost beyond belief. Every Howard
mandolin is registered and a guaranty accompanies each.

Gentlemen—Although I have been playing other Mandohns
heretofore, I wish to add my words of praise to
the many you have received from other Mandolintsts
throughout the country in regard to your make, the
J-loward. After a thorough trial of these Instruments,
woitld say that the Tone is mellow and powerful, the
hcale is true, the Action is easy and the Workmanship
IS all that could be desired in a High Grade Instrument.
1 can cheerfully recommend them to all who appreciate
these very essential features.
Respectfully yours,

.Some six months ago my attention was called to the
"Howard" Instruments, and must say in justice to the
makers, that they are as near perfect as it is possible
to make them. I 'have used many makes of Mandolins,
in Europe as well as America, but believe I have found
my ideal in the "Howard" Mandolin.

Mandolin Player of the present day, and certainly
knows a good instrument.
