This is an opportunity of a lifetime; one that you may never have taln. THE MUSIC CONSERVATORIES are dumfounded at the
idea of our giving awty a high-grade mandolin that cannot be bought at rausie' store, or throurh an other "w u ..-

to learn. The director of the Osborn Conservatory of Music has carefully canvassed everr'noint. After consultation wUt. h. m
many of the leading conservatories, Mr. Osborn felt that the greatest mistakes were being made by pupils entering a course of studv on
instruments that were too difficult v; , w ,

' Experiments are expensive. To buy a piano would cost you from $300 to $1,000, and a violin fromv$2S to $d W muciT'
higher, besides paying for private instruction from $2 to $5 a lesson. This was not only a handicap to many on account of the expense but
discouraging on account of the long practice required. Believing the mandolin the proper instrument to fill the place to the best advantage
as it was recognised to be the easiest to learn, then the next thing to consider waa to bring down the cost of teaching. Why not classes?
We received our education in the public school in class. After giving a few lessons in class the results were so satisfactory that the Os
born Conservatory of Music has continued to push forward the mandolin. By building the foundation of a musical education on the man
dolin, thousands of people have made a success of music who would have made a failure had they taken up a more difficult instrument

with a total enrollment of more pupils on the mandolin than all other conservatories combined. .On July 31, 1900, we had 6.000. On July 31
