For Summer Evenings
The Phonograph
T.JJ- P,an' the rusic deity was supposed to pipe the sweetest of music from his
hiding-place among reeds or tree-tops for the dancing and Summertime pleasure of
the ancients who were not ancient then. But it all rested upon his capricious pleas

A fine phonograph will beguile your leisure or your thoughtful hours with
music adapted to your mood, and will begin and stop, play loudly or softly, at your will
one more instance of the way we score on the ancients.

Give the Young Men Music,
Says Bernard Shaw
The wise and witty Irish philosopher suggests tha
if "young men had music to interest them, to engage
them and satisfy many of their impulses and to enliven
their days," they would be less apt to hunt their excite
ments and pleasures away from home.
It's a great argument for getting the boy started
early on a love for and understanding of music.
If it's too late to get him started "early," it is not
yet too late to get him started.
A Good Player-Piano
Better Yet, an
Ampico Reproducing Piano
will put into the home exactly that element of attrac
tion and interest certain to hold the young people there
like a magnet and to attract all their friends.
Adequate for every occasion dance music, gay
songs and ballads, exquisite old-timo favorites and
classics it won't matter a bit if none of the young
people play, for tho instrument provides it all.
Let us show you ono of these instruments, which
will make all the difference between a silent house,
deserted by its young: folks, and a home filled with
melody and innocent merriment.
You cannot do better in quality-or price than to
