business activity First Street, Today we find ourselves on Portland's finest corner a spot that was no more than a

QUALITY TALK
This Is the quality stort; ours. Is the quality
business. We would rather not sell you a
piano than sell you an unreliable one and
we are not afraid to tell you so. The unrc
liable culls from the Eastern factories are
neither kept nor advertised by us. We never
place upon a piano a stronger guarantee
than It deserves, neither.. do we make a
statement on our wareroom floors that we
cannot substantiate,
Thus do we enter a new era in our history, an era which finds us thoroughly equipped to give to Portland a dependable
music house dependable both financially and morally dependable In Its line of goods dependable In Its treatment of
Its customers dependable In Its statements and with a genuine regard for the rights of others,
