we were compelled to take FOUR
HRAND NEW PIANOS as a settlement
from a piano dealer who could not "pay
up." We have the pianos and we don't
want them. We are not piano people and
do not know piano selling methods. All
we do know is that the pianos in ques

lovely In tone, and that we will sell them
