Player-Pianos Brought a New Era in Music 'Vrnr to their advent comoara- tively few people could play a piano at' all and very few could play well. Today any home can have music, even if no member of the family can play, and those who do play by hand are impelled to play well or be thrown into the shade by the player-piano. ' A critical few are disposed to be wail the fact that since the player- , piano came the number of those who play by hand has decreased. We are not sure that is true, when one considers that player-pianos1 can also be played by hand, but even if it is, it does not signify anything. The important fact is that thousands of people can now have piano music in their homes where hundreds had it before and have better music. Here are player-pianos and reproducing pianos in the following famous Chickering Knabe.. Schomacker . Haines Bros. Emerson ' Marshall and Wendell Lindeman . C.

To Men Who Know Good Clothes1 and to Men Who Are Not So Sure That They The average man can hardly be expected to be an expert in the values of fabrics, in tailor-work and what it costs; nor can he reasonably be ex pected to be a fashion-expert. No doubt he has certain fairly intelligent ideas regarding these mat ters, 'but the fact is, when he goes to buy a new Spring suit or overcoat he has to depend a good deal upon the people from whom he buys it. On the other hand, there is the man who knows. In this Men's Clothing Store we are always glad to meet him, because for him we have the most convincing of all arguments we have the linest wool fabrics, the finest hand-tailoring and the most correct fashions to be found in any men's clothing store the country over. In a word, this is the clothing store for the man who can trust his own' iudirment the man who knows irood clothing and insists on having it. J' But above all, it is the clothing store for the man who feels he must put his trust in the people from whom he buys, because our standard of fabrics' i and tailoring and fashions and values mean for him an iron-clad guarantee thaj, in this store the least lie can get for nis money is 1UU per cent in each al these essentials. a' Our new Spring stocks are ample ; and considering the statements made! above, you will notice that we stand back ol tnem with a good deal oi con-v iidence.
