12 THE COACH-HORN : 



gauge of metal, and mode of their construction. With 

 these particulars I will not weary m}' readers, and it 

 being an admitted fact that there is only one firm of 

 musical instrument makers in London — I may say in 

 the world — who know how to make really good 

 Coach-horns, and that being the one with which I 

 happen to be connected, I hardl\' like mentioning 

 their name and address. 



For very many years their old-fashioned workshop 

 stood near Covent Garden, but the exigencies of the 

 times, to say nothing about the increased rent of 50 

 per cent, demanded b}' the Ducal landlord at the 

 termination of the lease, rendered a removal to 

 A'ictoria Street, Westminster, advisable, if not com- 

 pulsor}" (!) Circumstances further compelled Messrs. 

 KoHLER &: Sox to move first to Ebur}' Street, S.W., 

 and tlien to Bromley, Kent. On taking over the 

 concern in 1907, the present proprietors, Messrs. 

 SwAiNE AXD Adeney, transferred the entire business 

 to their own premises at 185 Piccadilly, W., and to 

 this establishment gentlemen requiring good, easy- 

 sounding Coach-horns, possessing the true Coaching 

 tones, are confident^ recommended.
