Mendez trumpet by F. E. Olds & Soi.
"Without fear of contradiction, I can say that Rafael Mendez is the greatest trumpeter in the world
today. He has no equal. He ranks in virtuosity with Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, and other world
famous artists, . . . Rafael Mendez is in a class entirely by himself. He excels in all particulars: his
tone is all that can be desired, his technique is unsurpassable, and his style is that of the true artist.
His breath control is truly a revelation. Mr. Mendez also possesses personality and magnetism. He is
in every sense a great musician."- Dr. Edwin Franko Goldman.

12 Safety Points for Tree
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters has issued a list
of 12 safety tips for Christmas
trees. The points are:
. 1. Choose a small tree in
stead of a large one. A small
tree can be just as pretty, less
hazardous.
2. Keep the tree outdoors
until you're ready to install
it.
Do not set up the tree until
just before Christmas.
4. Set up the tree in the
coolest part of the house,
away from radiators, heaters,
fireplaces.' Stand it in water
to retard drying.
5. Use fireproof decorations
of glass or metal, never cotton
or paper decorations unless
flame proof.
6. Do not set up electric
trains around or near the tree-
7. Use electric lights never
candles. Inspect every electric
socket and wire to make sure
set is in good condition. Dis

wiring, When buying new
