This contest is being conducted'by manufacturers for whom we have a contract for advertising their pianos throughout the United States.

In order to do this they have inaugurated this great contest, in which each contestant has an equal chance to win one of these valuable prizes. The piano manufacturers and dealers have for many years tried to reduce the selling expense of musical instruments. The old way of selling pianos, pulling door bells, canvassing, paying music teachers commissions, etc., have all.boeu eliminated, and it is now a question of the best advertised pTano. The maker's name being familiar to the piano purchaser, and the piano purchaser knowing the true value of the piano, makes it possible to sell a certain number. . . These manufacturers for whom we are conducting this contest want you to know that all answers will bo considered, first, as to the correct answers; second, as to the neatness of the answer; that only one answer will be considered from one family, and that in the event of a tie identical award will be made.
