X 1 I "No Surrender" and "No Compromise" and "No Half Measures" - is the speech of the plain people every where throughout the United States these days. It is heard in the hotels, on the street corners and in the railroad trains as one travels about. It is a record of history that in the English Parliament long ago a dis tinguished Earl said : "This half measure "is the worst of all and reminds me of the Gunpowder Plot. The Lord Chamberlain was sent to examine the vaults under neath the Parliament House, and returned with the report that he had found five and twenty barrels of gunpowder, but that he had removed ten of them and hoped the remainder would do no harm." This Store might be three-quarters of a good Store, and the remaining one quarter of carelessness, or off color of truthfulness in qualities, justness of prices, proper attention and service, would ruin it. fwaJZr Signed March SO, 1010.

How could they, when experts in another room could not tell when Godowsky stopped playing and the Ampico began ! The reason for the marvelous humanness of the Ampico is because it repro duces a note from the vibration of the string and not from pressure on the key. As long as the note sings, the impression is recorded. In other player-pianos the record stops when the finger of the performer is removed from the key. If you have never heard an Ampico reproducing piano you cannot know what a wonderful instrument it is. We shall be glad to demonstrate one for you, with the distinct understanding that you are under no obligation whatever. If you should be interested in prices you may like to know that any of these Ampicos may be bought on convenient terms. Ampico Uprights Chickering, $1500. Schomacker, $1275. Haines Bros., $1050.
