TOOTCH?
There doesn't seem much use for a mer
chant to tell you about warm clothes
when we have California beat for weather!
But we can tell you of the best asset your
home could possibly have, and that is a
piano. We have two high grade pianos
at our store which were placed with us
on consignment. As the time is up, we
are going to give somebody the best bar
gain ever offered in an instrument. Don't
put off buying, but start your boy or girl
in time with their music. Murray has one
of the best teachers in the state, arid we
have the best piano at a reasonable price
and fully guaranteed.
