WHAT ABOUT HAWKES 1
The Wellington Garrison Band won the championship, and also the Challenge Shield, at the Palmerston North Band Contest of 1911. They used Hawkes* Excelsior Sonorous Band Instruments—a complete set. In the first test this noted Wellington Band was allowed the maximum number of points, the judge declaring that he had never heard better playing, and commending in eulogistic terms the tone and blend. The Wellington Tramway Band, also using a complete set of Hawkes' Excelsior Sonorous Instruments, won the B Grade. The judge congratulated the Band on their playing. These two successes in Grade A and Grade B, on such a great occasion. ■ are worthy wins for Hawkes, whose i instruments are pre-eminent all j over the world. Bandsmen! Buy j a set of Hawkes—there are honors! and valuable prizes to be won with i them. Write for catalogues. Sole | Agents- The Dresden Piano Co.. I Ltd.. Wellington.
