"The artist's first conrideratlon In
shaping a beautiful figure is to Ret as
do to naturi the best In nature, of
course as po-slble If mon or women
have been taiqlit from childhriod to lie
deformed or artltlclal. the artlit cannot
hope to attain this from a study of tho
forms of such persons. Stays destroy the
beautiful compound curves of a woman,
and where the 'riijld restraint of a cor
set have c:mprcseJ a woman's organs
will be found creaes and wrinkles, with
an Inordinate dce!opment of thoe parts
of her body which have not been re
strained by stays.
"Nature U the highest authority or
eets are unnatural and not conducive to
beauty of form. Thev make of compound
curves mere fold of ileyli. a man can
arranBC his clothing o make jam look
well to himself lonkins at the figure In
his mirror. And jet that same irfia
may apjear ridiculous to iK-rsons on the
street,

OU have doubtless noticed this beautiful building we are erecting and now nearing
completion at 1004 Olive St. We shall remove to this building the moment our su
pervising architect, Mr. H. W. Kirschner, will deliver possession to us, which will be
within the next 30 days. Our representatives have been in the East for the past
" two months visiting the factories and picking out the largest and finest stock of
pianos ana otner musical mercnanaise ever ordered tor St. .Louis. Many new and
valuable agencies have lcen taken on, as our previous announcements in the papers would indi
cate, and a trairtload of pianos is leaving the factories for our new building.
Now the Time Has Come for Us to Dispose
of Our Present Stock Irrespective of Price.
Our present wareroora floors at 1109 Olive St. are crowded with pianos which must be
sold before we move.
WHY? Not because we do not want to pay a few dollars moving charges, the usual and onlv
arguments presented in the ordinary removal sale, but
BECAUSE, in the reorganization of this old house, and in the new and extensive move that we
are making, and our most comprehensive plans for the future involved in this move, we have
strengthened our fences and our lines at ever)- point so as to give to St. Louis, as the front
of our new building will indicate, the most beautiful high-grade music institution that the
city has known.
CONSEQUENTLY WE HAVE OVER ONE HUNDRED PIANOS
New and some slightly shopworn, some that have been out on rent and taken in exchanges
that must be sold. Of the new pianos, there" are agencies and styles that will be discontin
ued and that we cannot move to our new building.
Just a Few of Our Offers We Enumerate Here:
