BITTER TRUTHS ABOUT PIANOS, rpHERE was a time when the name “Piano” suggested to every one not only a high idea of art. Unfortunately commercialism, or the love of just making money, seems eo he changing the very meaning of the word “Piano.” To-day 'hundreds of so-called pianos are run through factories like lawn-mowers or sewing machines. The business of these factories is making pianos for the trade. The name of the real maker is hidden from the public. The. general store buys these makers’ pianos by the yard; stencils its name upon them, and with flaming advertisements claims authorship to a great artistic instrument. A so-called STRIKE price sweetens the bait, and. the unfortunate purchaser soon starves his very soul for the want of the real music which ho never gets. Whether or not you buy a SPENCER with a genuine artistic record of nearly a century. Do buy a Piano that has a reputation at take, then vou will at least get sometlmig that will cultivate your highest sense of the true and beautiful in music, as well as prove a safe money investment. We have a large stock of reputable Pianos that carry a genuine guarantee—Pianos that will protect your interests. We have them at the lowest price for which a good Piano can be made, to the highest priced Piano it is possible to manufacture.
