A VISIT OF INQUIRY REQUESTED JOHN WAHAMAXEB, PHILADELPHIA, Tht whete Bleck from 13th and Mvkt This Modest Picture Shows the Twe Sides (exact size) of one of the little advertising flowers that we used te send out, perhaps fifty years-age. It was a little vest-pocket colored card, and this one came back te us through the mail from some geed friend, who kept it ever since, but did net sign a name. Please note, that small and tiny as it seems, yet it was one of the ways the foundation stones were put in, wnicn.nave never Deen removed or changed in any particular. Abselutelynevery word of it was a faithful exposition of an earnest endeavor, and absolutely every word of it is just as true and faithful today in our unchanged policy, which has made our Stere twenty times better than it was when we began.

(Wn AUIeJ, - The Man Who Educates Himself "Classic" music is net te be grasped or understood at one hearing. The average man listens te Bach or Chepin for the first time with confusion and disappointment. He is apt te express him self emphatically en the subject of "h i g h b r e w" music. . But let him listen atten tively te the same composi tion 'again and again. At each repeated hearing his ear will discover mere and his understanding go deeper! Frequert listening gives him the key. Appre ciation of the great classics becomes his. And the en joyment of such music is a lifelong happiness. Many a musically-uneducated man has begun and perfected his appreciation of geed music through the kiu,iiJiuJl Ul till v A AMPICO Over and ever again, as he sits comfortably in his easy chair of an evening, he has listened te the wonder ful music of Bach, Beet hoven, Chepin, Liszt, Wag ner and ether famous com posers. Until he has found out for himself why they are famous and what the meaning really is of all this "highbrow" music, which at first seemed se meaning less te his ears.
