owing to the water competition the New

In buying; a piano you want honest
quality. Pianos of good quality cost
but a trifle more than those of cheap
construction.

tablished reputation for selling pianos
of honest quality, upon convenient,
satisfactory terms of payment where
the customer is not prepared to pay
cash. Strictly one price to all is the
rule of this house. Among the pianos
thus offered are Steinway, A. B.
Chase, Everett, Conover, Packard,
Esty, Ludwig, Kingsbury, Emerson,
Kurtzman and Wellington. Player
pianos: A. B. Chase, Carola, Kings
bury, Euphona. We have some fine
values in used pianos, which may be
purchased on very small payments.
These pianos have been traded in
toward the purchase of ourr A. D.
Chase player pianos. One price to
all, and always "An Honest Piano at
