We offer you not onlv the

You can feel safe in buy

It’s The Duty of Every Parent
—To Have —
MUSIC IN THE HOME
Nothing is better for children, or grown-ups either, after hard work or exer
cise than relaxation with good music. The experience of our boys in the
Great War showed conclusively that music was almost a necessity, making for
better soldiers, physically, morally and mentally.
This store carries the best selected line of pianos of
any house in Georgia or Carolina. Our prices, -we be
lieve, are considerably lower than you can find else
where for pianos of equal quality.
In selling no line of merchandise is there a greater opportunity to impose on the public
than with pianos. The average person knows very little about the quality of a piano.
The case of an instrument which should sell for about S4OO looks very much the same
as an SBOO piano. There is the same amount of wood and steel as in that of the more ex
pensive one, and the temptation of the unscrupulous dealer is to ask probablv SOOO for
a S4OO piano, or perhaps even SBOO, and “drop down” to S6OO or lower in quoting the con
fidential selling price.
Every piano in our store is marked in PLAIN’ FIGURES—one price to all. We do not
mark up prices, expecting to quote special reductions in making a sale.
Note These Special Lines Offered By Us:
—Knabe —Autopiano
—Kranich 4 Bach —Schiller
—Gulbransen _
-Marshall & -Premier
Wendell —Pianista
(Note especially that we carry the AMPICO in the Knabe and Marshall
& Wendell Pianos—the finest reproducing piano ever made. With one
of these instruments you can have the music of the world’s greatest art
ists in your home—even though you do not play a note!)
