3Have You Heard of the Wonderful Boothe Knoslip Violin Pad?
4YOU can have one of these pads mailed to you on ten or thirty days trial free—but first read and learn something about the pad. Have you ever been thoroughly satisfied with the old style cushion or pad that you use? NO—certainly you haven’t. Besides, you contort your mouth into ridiculous lines when you try to shift rapidly, causing your listeners to smile at your funny face—it’s the pad you have been using that does this. With the old pad you always have trouble in shifting up and down the finger board in tune—and the false intonation affects your ear unpleasantly, and in turn the muscles and chords of the face rebel—and you grimace—and your listeners grin—and it sometimes peeves you considerably, doesn’t it? You think they are deriding your playing. No—they are laughing at the ridiculous face you are making. With the BOOTHE KNOSLIP PAD you will overcome this.

7The Advantages of the Boothe Knoslip Violin Pad
81st—You will for the first time hear all of the volume of the tone of your violin.
92nd—You will be able to shift up and down the finger board with equal facility—and with greater certainty and ease than ever before.
103rd—You will be able to execute passages that you have never been able with the old cushion to do clearly, but which you have always believed you could do if you had the proper grip on your instrument.
114th—If you are amateur or pupil you will progress more technically in six months than you will in six years without it.
125th—YSAYE told us—invaluable to the beginner or those who find difficulty in holding the violin.
136th—If you are a teacher you won’t lose a pupil—violin holding becomes a thing of joy—and you can make your pupil hold with ease at any angle you desire.
147th—Recognized violin makers like Wagner & George, great firms like Sherman, Clay Co., Anton Hospe Co., Wm. Lewis & Sons, Malecki & Co., say—it will revolutionize violin holding.
158th—It weighs complete, cushions and all, 1 7/8 ounces. It makes no difference if you are dealer, professional or amateur—you can have one on 10 days trial free, at the end of which time you can send us $2.50 or return pad; or to save bookkeeping send with your order $2.25 and you can have 30 days trial—money refunded. It will cost you but 4c to return the pad. We have never had but one pad returned.
