The Ampice Reproducing Piane
The Ampice reproducing piano is se far superior te all ether reproduc

A performance by the Ampice reproduces with such absolute fidelity

another room, cannot tell which is which.
t A Gift Imperial
An a Christmas gift an Ampice reproducing piano is net te be sur

a never-ending delight.
This is the age of electricity and electric reproducing pianos. And the

The Ampice may be obtained in the Marshall and Wendell, Haines Bres.,
Chickering and Knabe pianos at prices ranging from $975 te $3500 and at
Wanamaker's only in Philadelphia.
Convenient terms, may be arranged.
Every day, from l'.30 te 2.30, there is a demonstration of the Ampice
