W. M. Robinson, general manager
of the Bennett Piano Company, was
In AUIanre last week, and to a rep
resentative of The Herald expressed
himself as being well pleased with
the splen'did business that Is being
done from the Bennett Piano store
In this city. They are also having a
tremendous sale at other points, ow
ing to the wonderfully low prices
made on their great purchase of
1,000 pianos, wnlch are being adver
tised in this paper. This was the
largest single purchase of pianos ev
er made or contracted for west of the
Mississippi river, and was brought a
bout by Mr. Robinson, giving cus
tomers of the Bennett Company the
benefit of a remarkable cut In piano
prices.
Piano manufacturers throughout the
east are feeling the inroads made by
player pianos, automobiles, etc., and
have concluded that "first loss is
best loss," and have therefore sold
their entire overproduction to a syn
dicate of huge distributors, The Ben
nett Co., of Omaha, being one of the
largest of all concerned.
Mr. Robinson, acting for The Ben

share of the "Syndicate Buy" 1,000

MUSIC AND ART TEACHER
The school board of the Alliance
city schools elected Miss Mabel Bar
nard of Evans ton, Illinois, to the
position of supervisor of music, to
take the place made vacant by
tihe resignation of Mrs. Edith
Snodgrass-O'Kcefe. From what we
learn of Miss Harnnrd we consider
the school board and t lie patrons of
the city schools very fortunate In sc-
will cause a furore.
Brand new, full sized, absolutely
perfect pianos of excellent make will
be offered as low as $124, but owing
to the exceedingly close margin,
these must be sold for cash. (The
regular lines carried by the Bennett
Co., however, will be sold on easy
payments just as before.)
Bennett's own stock of "used" In
istruments will go for a proverbial
j "song" of a price, first-class upright

It is a good plan to take
the Bell Telephone into
your confidence and make
it an active ally in your
work.
A conservative use of
long distance telephone
service is not expensive.
It will pay big returns on
the investment.
The business man who
has learned the telephone's
usefulness a c complishes
much more than his com
petitor who bas not.
Use of the Bell Telephone gives an espusive
range to personal communication, because each
telephone is the center of a nation-wide system
of the most efficient telephone transmission in
the world.
