If you are contemplating the purchase of a piano you should seek the highest standard of excellence in con
struction, tone quality and durability. These essentials, ever present in the Ivors & Pond, Laffarguo or Sterling

Arrange for a short visit to our warerooms, corner 10th and Oakdale avenue, where we will be pleased to show
you the best grades of pianos whether yoit care to purchase or not.
