AN EASTER GREETING

To our many friends and patrons, we extend this most heartfelt greeting and hope that the coming of Spring and Summer will be most pleasant ones and that they will live long in your memory. BUT, STOP! Have you ever thought about how to enjoy the spring days and the beautiful summer evenings; have you ever taken into consideration the fact that a first class piano is the very thing that you need in order to make the Spring and summer months most enjoyable ones. But Before Buying Think! Of dealing with the makers, whoknow whereof they speak, whose factories are where you can see them,whose guarantee is absolute. "; Also Think That when buying here you hold the long end of the

lever. All interference is cut out and you pocket the middleman's share

"It sometimes pays to think." WITH MANY GREETINGS TO ALL.
