Show A REPLY By the Band to the Tailors' Communication. Com-munication. Salt Lake, June 25th, 1S7S. Editors Herald: The Salt Lake tailor (that is four of them) are getting wratby with the actions of the Tenth Ward band. They Bay we have charmed the Salt Lake moneyed public with music the past month and have raised between $400 and ?500; also that the city council coun-cil appropriation committee- have been "bulldozed" by u serenade and $100 nl Salt Lake public money expeudtd in New York. They very sarcastically sarcasti-cally reforred to a house getting illustrated catalogues, and they were Qdtd by the hand tor information; also that a rough estimate was iven for the uniform (which he band thouqht was very rough 'ndeed). It is said the uniform rjgurtd on was to be made ot the best material and got up in elegant style, nd as a pretext for sending cast, the oand exercises iuelt on account ot iitltfrence of pHee, and no dthuile jrice wai given by the oi.lyjirm poken to. They cool down hysuying Here was no need to send east; tney yjuld have furnished them at a trilling jer cent, above eastern cost. Alas! tome industry has all gone, auO .iractice and theory do not com bine I We are very pleased, as a tund, to :aarm the SaIi Lake publio with nusic, and since our baud has been rganized we have never been hack-ward. hack-ward. The appropriation committee vna never "bulidozed" by a serenade; only one of the committee was serenaded sere-naded previous to the appropriation, ud he was not at home, ir we did not see bim. We received an illustrated catalogue which was sent for the band to select 4 uniform and to enquire the price of 1 y the firm above alluded to, we ; uade use of it whicn was very satis-lactory satis-lactory to us as a band. The uniform figured on by the house referred to waa not first-class, as we can prove by cue samples left with us, and as for alegance, the cut referred to is the 4 ima figured on. We have a perfect right to exercise Durselves in ditk-rence ot price, (if we had not it would have terribly exercised exer-cised us). As regards Uome industry we are all in the Bame nest. Go to me "Salt Late Tailors" and see how much home industry tbey keep in tneir establish men ts. To con etude, we eay our unilorma are made exactly in the styles alluded al-luded to in the illustrated catalogue, cata-logue, the fit, finibh and style re quite good enough for us. Our friends that have assisted to get our uniform, we thank We were wait ing a day or two to do this, but the "Knights of the Goose" correspond-.ence correspond-.ence ha.i exacted a reply. The price asked for by the only firm spoken to, to send east for cloth and trimmings, wae $50, the hats, bells, epaulets and music pouches, $LS2, making a total of $432; to send east for material, everythiag complete, making, etc., $770; it might po sibly vary a few dollars either way. We have our suite made and put up at the reasonable reason-able price, including expenses ot telegraphing, express, etc., of $o2U. Allow us to state that we were tuld aleo by the only house spoken to, that to make a uniform wa no easy job, and that be was the only man in me town capable of making it, The only reason we bad for sending for our uniform ewt, was to net the mm all amount we have showu in figures. Yours respectfully, Tenth Ward Brass Band U-MPOKM Gi'MUirTEE. |
