or daughter if you do not buy her that long promised piano
Nothing shows culture and refinement in a home like a plana
Home is what yon make it, and if yon have no entertainment
for your children at home you must expect them to seek it
elsewhere; so do not blame the children, as the fault is all
your own. Let us place a piano in your home on trial and.
see how it brightens up the household; also see how your
children will bring their company to their home for entertain
ment instead of seeking it elsewhere. We have over 25
different makes of pianos to select from, and guarantee yon a
considerable saving on any piano yon may want.
