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. Two of our best-
known small grand pianos,
the Lindeman and the Bram
bach, now carry these reason
able prices which are made
all the more reasonable by the
easy purchase terms we ar

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.
Seeger Siphon Refrigerators
(The siphon system is that used in Pullman refrigerator cars).
Snow White Steel Refrigerators and Ice Chests
Eddy Refrigerators and Ice Chests
White Mountain Refrigerators
Puritan Refrigerators
White Frost Circular Steel Refrigerators (with

Sanitary refrigeration is cold DRY air on the move. Every one
of these six has been proved to score heavily on that count.
They provide for all size needs, from smallest home to large hotel
or institutional use.

"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
