THE DRUM-HEAD BUSINESS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13-Few people know
that more than half the banjo and drum
heads sold in the United States are made
on Long Island. Near the railroad sta
ton at Cold Spring is a H5tIe red build
ing surrounded By frames. N which skins
are stretched for drying. while near by
is an artificial pond. with wooden sides
and bottom, filled with a chemical mix
ture- It is an unDretentiOus blish-
ment. but in our two wars and in the
peace between it has fathered a great
deal Of noise. The business was es alb
lished in 1850 and success was almost i'm
mediate Competition was strong ter
the rush of war orders was over, but The
business has advanced in Importance until
now there are but three factories in this
country whose opposition can be felt Two
of these are in Brooklyn and the other
at High View. New York State.
New York markets furnish the salted
raw skins from which the drumheads
are made The hair is removed from
the skins by a chemical bath in the arti-
fetal pond. and the skins are then
stretched on the racks and dried \
thorough scraping removes any particles
Of fat or flesh that may have adhered to
the dried skin. which is then the thick
ness of parchment. The skins are thor
oughIy bleached in the drying process.
and are then ready for cutting into heads
During the Spanish-American war the fac
tory was fairly swamped with orders for
drum heads. 500 dozen heads often being
ordered al one time The principal de-
mand was for the tenor" head. ON whiea
