(Firth anil ''!'"--'-y-" The Case for the Small Grand Piano M "OST people, in choosing a piano, would un doubtedly select a grand were it not for certain objec tions that seem to them insu perable. One of these objections is space. They do not know that a email grand piano in the corner of a. room need occupy no more space titan an upright in the same position. We can give them a paper pattern to demonstrate this fact. These small grand pianos are especially made for small living quarters where space must be considerd. Many of them are less than five feet long. Small Grand Pianos May Be Purchased for $695 and $750 if purchased here at Wana maker's.

The musical quality of these (lltryptlan Hall, Why We Sell These Six Best Refrigerators There are two things to consider in buying a refrigerator: 1. The health of the family as it is affected by the proper preser vation of food. 2. The family pocketbook as it is affected by economy in ice-bills. The six refrigerators sold at Wanamak'er's have been selected for their especial qualifications on those two points.

", ' -' --"-Jri rV-.' -v "Yes, I would prefer a grand piano, but not unless I could have the full-size grand," is another objection, on the part of those who believe that tho tonal quality and richness of tho large grand are sacrificed to size in the small grand. This is far from true. An orchestra of 60 pieces is no less a good orchestra than one of 90 pieces. In certain space con ditions the smaller orches tra would bo far more effective and pleasing. For the same reason, a room in which the small grand piano sounds well would not give the large grand its proper scope at all. The third objection in many people's minds is price. They do not know that instruments, their form, fine mahogany casing and entire construction are all that the finest piano should be. In addition, we sell the Chickering, the Schomneker, the Emerson, the Haines Brothers and the celebrated Knabe piano, in this desirable small grand size. Jierond Floor, Market) come.
