War With Japan
Is not probable, but yon are likely to have war with your wife
or daughter if yon do not boy her that long promised piano.
Nothing shows culture and refinement in a home like t piano.
Home is what yon make it, and if you have no entertainmeat
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 entertziv
ment instead of seeking it elsewhere. We have over 2$
different makes of pianos to select from, and guarantee yon a
considerable saving on any piano yon may want.
Yours very truly,
J, W. Grantham.
