former owners preferred the continual delights of a SELF PLAYING Piano and
"turned In" their ordinary upright tixn "Joining our club." These instruments
are now crowding our aisles; we Ml HT sell them; cheaply, 'Us true, but
titlCKLY.
Take these "used" instruments off onr hands; make almost your own terms
in buying them. Most of them are KL'PEIOILY toned; finely conditioned; will
prove delightful If you wish a "hand played" pin no. Write If you live out of town;
