importance that the league deals with
are the abolishment of child labor,
securing equal pay for equal work
regardless of sex. to aid the Sunday*
and early closing movement, to sus
tain fair employers and to urge In
dustrial and political equality for
women.
The work has been commended
by the American Federation of Labo r ,
and the union has many friends In th?
international unions who have by
their assistance and encouragement
been of great help.
Mrs. Jarvis, the president, said at a
recent meeting: "We need the active
co-operation of every union man and
woman. It is through the trade union
that we hope to reach the women
who spend the money."
Mrs. Jarvis concluded her state
ment with a strong plea for every
woman to join the jnion ano ielp lift
the burden from the wage earner

Economical
Piano Buying
Economy in buying a piano consists of getting the best in
strument that can he made to sell at the price you want to pay.
Tt does not necessarily consist in obtaining an instrument at
a low price, because some pianos and player-pianos are expen
sive at any figure.
•But there is a limit beyond which you can not go in the pur
chase of an instrument without paying too much.
You should expect to give what the piano is worth, but you
should also expert to get the full equivalent of your money.
That principle is the basis of our selling policy, and we are
prepared to show our patrons that every instrument is marked at
a fair price.
You ran pay as much as $1,250.00 for one of our pianos, or
as low as $195.00. In any ease you get the full value of your in
vestment. In other words, you buy economically.
Reliability is the key-note to be considered. The W. \Y. Kim
ball Company,.of Chicago, are the world’s largest manufacturers
of pianos, player-pianos, residence and church pipe organs, and its
product is sold direct, eliminating the middleman’s profits,
through this Branch Store.
Our one, absolutely one, price insures the buyer of receiving
full value for his money. We wish to emphasize the fact that the
fixed price at which all of our goods are sold is based on an output
of 30,000 instruments yearly.
Our Exchange Department offers many attractive bargains to
those wishing either slightly used player-pianos, pianos or organs.
Prices, in some eases, even less than actual cost of manufacture.
