CLOTHIERS WSiv Tliere Slioold A Piano lira Every Mooie I I Why not secure one for Xmas now To Glad den the Heart of Every Member of the Family The supreme, tie all-sufficient reason why there should be a piano in every home is that every home should be a happy home, and, outside the sacred influence of a good mother, nothing contributes so much to the happiness of the home as music, and no instrument excels the iano in music-making witchery, in variety of tone and richness of melody. Happy homes are the keystone in the arch of our splendid civilization, and happy homes make liberty-loving, patriotic people. The experience of all the ages is that music hallows the home, sancti fies its memories and blesses and. beautifies human character. Few bad men go out from homes where music and mother are loved and honored. . A piano in the home is a powerful magnet, draw ing the minds and hearts of the family into heaven ly harmony and making "Home, Sweet Home, Though Ever So Humble," the dearest spot on earth. Every consideration, therefore, of parental love, filial devotion and patriotic pride demands that there should be a piano in every home. Parents can make no wiser investment no in vestment that returns richer dividends in the char acter and lives of their children. David's harp alone could soothe, the troubled spirit of Israel's King, the Lord's anointed, and in all ages music has soothed sorrowing hearts and purified human affections. Every true home should have a piano, the per fection of musical instruments, to give added charm to the home circle, to comfort in affliction, to cheer in the hours of gloom, to sweeten every cup of bit terness, and to send forth boys and girls whose lives shall be a blessing to society and a benediction to the world. 1 I- It costs tt Weber J t-nicKenng Kimball and 40 Other Makes of Pianos r1 t Also the Genuine Pianola and Pianola Piano 353 WASHINGTON STREET Open Evenings Until lO o'Clock I worth of wheat oft it.
