A STRAIGHT TALK ON PIANO BUYING I have recently taken the agency for the SCHMOLLER & MUEL LER line of high grade pianos for several reasons. They manufacture the famous line of SCHMOLLER A MUELLER PIANOS. In addition to this they handle the STEINWA Y & SONS, STEGER & SONS. EMER SON. McPHAIL, HARDMAN. MEHLIN and twenty-three other well known makes. This gives me the agency for all of the best known and higest grade makes of pianos manufactured. I am now in a posi tion to suit you, both in quality and price. On my floors today you will find pianos of different makes ready to be shown to you and ready for delivery before Christmas. The buying of a piano at this ti me is of much less import than formerly. Prices have been reduced to a point where it is quite pos sible for every family to have one in their home. Music is no longer considered an accomplishment for the rich, but has become a part of the curriculum of modern education. The placing of a piano in your home emphasizes the fact that your family has reached that point of higher education, higher culture, arid is developing a taste for those things which make life more pleasant and enjoyable. It means that you can properly entertain your fri ends when they call, it means that your family and children will have more of that Dleasure out of lif which is every person's due. The home with music in it is infinitely more congenial than one in which the sweet sounds of music do not prevail. The question is not "Shall I buy a piano" but "What piano is the best to purchase." The matter of selecting a piano is of more than or dinary importance for the reason that the average person buys but one in a life-time. There is nothing in the home that so conspicuously and pointedly reflects the taste of its purchaser as the piano ' ' You should buy a SCHMOLLER A MUELLER piano because only the choicest materials are used In it construction, giving it great solidity. The cases are beautiful and chaste; they are artistic: all cases ara double veneered. The woods used in their construction are the most exquisite to be found and are carefully selected. The finish Is the height of perfection. Every piano before leaving the factory has gone thru the hands of experts in every department. The carvings are all' strictly hand work not machine pressed. The metal frame Is of spe cial design, extra strength, a composite of steel and bell metal. The pin block, a very important part of the Instrument, Is of eight-ply Ad irondack hard maple. The sounding board Is made of selected Ver mont spruce scientifically constructed. The strings are made of the most expensive imported steel, the renowned "Pohlmann" strings, used in all strictly high-gade pianos. The action of the 8CHMOLLER eV MUELLER PIANO is the improved double repeating, elastic and re sponsive. The scale is the nearest approach to the ideal of perfection. The tone is full, round, sympathetic and refined. The keys are made from the first grade of ivory and. will always hold their color. SCHMOLLER & MUELLER PIANOS are made in different styles and grades at different prices. They are sold on very easy terms, within the reach of everyone. Every SCHMOLLER & MUELLER PIANO is sold with 'the unre served twenty-five year guarantee. I back every piano I sell with my' personal guarantee and a reputation for fair and honest dealing in Al liance for years. You are invited to call at my music store, 116 West Fourth Street, Alliance, and eee the new pianos which have just ar rived. Come while the line is complete.
