Paul Whiteman Orchestra, 1922, Photograph
Gentlemen, The undersigned are greatly pleased to state that the Conn instruments used by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra are giving the greatest satisfaction. Each and every instrument is pronounced by each of the members a most perfect piece of workmanship.
The blowing qualities, the perfect intonation, the rich tonal qualities, all lend, in a degree, to the success of the organization. There are no other instruments that can equal them, in the opinion of each performer. Etc.. etc., etc. (Signed) PAUL WHITEMAN. Sam Lewis. Ross S. Gorman. Mike Pingitore, Jerdie Grofe, Harold McDonald, Henry Busse, Hale Byers.
