What is the best tonic for those that
come home tired after a hard dav's

What is the most delightful form of
entertainment? MUSIC.
What will lift people out of the rut

What has done so much to maintain
the morale of our fighting men that it

You need a piano
in your home
And if you have a piano but cannot
play by hand, you need a player-piano

YOU NEED MUSIC.
What do you do without it when
your spirits are low?
And however can you get on without
it when your spirits are high, and you
want to sing, and can't?
