12THE "FIRST PRIZE WINNER" in the Violin Contest of the American Guild of Violinists, at Chicago, June 15th, 1912, was a typical "Goss" Violin.

16It won easily both times in a double trial over undoubtedly genuine instruments by Antonio Stradivari, Nicolas Amati, Jacobus Steiner, Nicolas Bergonzi, Montagnini, Lorenzo Storioni and others, including eleven modern makers—some of them amongst the best in America. This particular instrument was made according to the system of Antonio Stradivari. The thickness of wood in both top and back is the same as in the "Earl" Strad, 1722, which was at one time in the famous "Hawley Collection." Through the kindness of Mr. Archibald Mitchell (who, at the time, owned the instrument) I took the measurements very exactly with a special caliper.
18Performers and Amateurs contemplating the purchase of a violin, will do well to consult me before buying. I shall be pleased to answer any question concerning violins of my make at any time.
