The roads remain almost im
passible and in consequence
farmers are not coming to town
in great numbers this week.
This winter beats the experi
ence , also the stories , of the old
est inhabitants.
WELL RATHER ! Why shouldn't we be justly
proud of such a remarkable line of pianos as these we
enumerate below ? That no stronger stock is shown
by any CITY HOUSE is self evident to those who
are familiar with the Piano business generally.
Are Ycu Afraid or Backward.
To quote figures , terms or prices , that may be compared with those of any other
piano house ? LOOK FOR YOURSELVES ? The comparing , discriminating cus
tomer is the one we want to see ! That is the way WE buy instruments for Stock.
Why not you ? We are sticklers for three things
FIRST TONE ! SECOND DURABILITY ! THIRD BE ATTY !
If } Tou want these in your home piano , come in , or write at once for our special
profivsharing-co.operative piano plan.
The foilowsng dissounts are for ad rertising purposes , and are for DECEMBER
