Match Factory Burned.
The St. Johns match factory had quite
a disastrous Are Wednesday evening. Fire
started In the dipping and packing room
of the factory, and before help could ar
rive it was destroyed. The store room
had quite a large stock of manufactur

sumed. The loss, including the stock and

burled structure was about GO feet east
of the main building, where the machln

if you want to buy a good horse
you go to a man who understands
horses.
If you want a house built you go to
a man who understands building

If you want to find out whether a
signature Is genuine, or a forgery you
go to a man who has made a study of
such things.
And so on.
Everybody appreciates the value of
an expert opinion.
When you buy a piano, therefore,
It Is just as essential to go to a man
who has made a study of pianos one
who has, absolute knowledge of the
various pianos that are manufactured
today an expert.
The men who are connected with
tillers Piano House are experts.
They have not taken up the piano
business Incidentally, but they are In
the piano business today because
they have made it and the manufact
ure of pianos a life study. They un
derstand every detail in the business,
every detail In the piano Itself. Years
of traveling and years devoted to the
wholesaling "and manufacturing of pi
anos, with sixteen years of continued
study of American and foreign makes
have given them the most discrimi
nating knowlege of what constitutes
a good instrument.
All of our experience has been em
bodied In the selection of our pianos.
It Is fair to say that we are In a po
sition to assert positively that we
have the three greatest pianos manu
factured in America, I. e., the celebra
ted Chlckerlng, of Boston, the beau
tiful Weber, of New York, and the
now famous and superb Kimball, of
Chicago.
We have the' choice of practically
all the high grade pianos manufact
ured, and there is not a factory In
America that would not be pleased to
have us handle its goods.
We choose these three great pianos
in preference to any others on the
market.
We did it because, we believe they
are the best pianos that money can
buy. .
In addition to these superb instru
ments we have about twenty-five
other makes so that It Is possible for
us to suit every taste and meet every
demand for pianos and organs for
whatever purpose they are Intended.
