Even now, in what we hear from the training camps and the fighting front itself, we get an inkling of how wonderfully music has helped in keeping up the morale of the men. We hear of pianos in the trenches and of im promptu concerts on all possible occasions. And one of the things that impressed Irvin Cobb most in his visit to a naval base was the way those "gobs" did sing. The Piano Has Helped Maintain the Morale at Home Only the lonely and the bereaved know the full comfort of good music, but all of us know something of its cheer. We have all sung the songs of war and felt the thrill of them. But, oh, what an outburst is to come ! Think of the days when the boys come home! The music in our ears will be the scuff of their marching feet, but the music in their ears will be the cheers and songs of a grateful nation. Will Yours Be One of the Silent Homes? Or will there be music there and proper re joicing? Whoever has any thought of getting a piano at all should get it now. Only a moderate cash , payment is required and the balance ma be paid monthly, to suit your convenience. On this basis you may choose from eight of the greatest pianos in America, or the player-pianos or reproducing pianos in which they are united. Chickering Knabe Schomacker Haines Bros.
