The Indians called the Island found finan&hanl and Columbus, when he landed, named It Ban Salvatore, but tha Dreoonderanoe of authority today la that it was Wetting's Island. This Tas October 12. 1492. Shortly after the landing was the flrnt Columbus Day celebration with Columbus himself as the master of ceremonies.

PIANO SATISFACTION lies not in the piano you may purchase because it seems cheap. The commercial piano is made cheap to sell cheap. Careful examination will reveal its defects in construction, its impurities of tone and its lack of durability. The cheap commercial piano is an extravagance at any price. The tuner and the repair man soon collect more than you thought you were saving. It is because we know pianos and know just how little you can affard to pay and he sure of your future satisfaction that the "cheap" piano finds no home in the house holds of our friends. Low-priced pianos we have, and a careful comparison of them with the widely advertised bargain pianos will convince you that you really pay no more, but that in quality, service and satisfaction you have benefited greatly.
