would find the approaching sale of the

Be doubt would take advantage of It.
The particular Inducements, he
pointed out. would be the easier hand

cated directly along the main 110-feet
channel at a point en the river far
below the Horseshoe Curve, with its
attendant ice eotitfestlen during severe
winter weather. Als-e. he wild, the
rail connections are all that could be
asked for the handling of cargoes In

This thought was the basis for the
previous project for a terminal at Heg
Island, which, however, failed te ma

terms could net be reached between
the old Shipping Beard nnd the group
of men ready te finance the undertak

All endeavors in connection with the

en a determination te make the enter

WHY
PA Y&" $400
for any Player-Piane, if you can buy a new, high-grade and guaranteed instra
ment for less, en easy weekly or monthly payments, with several desen maefe
rolls, a bench and cabinet thrown in?
A well-made Player-Piane, if carefully handled, will last from 25 te 35 years
and be a constant source of pleasure and entertainment te its owners.
The Cunningham Player-Piane is manufactured with the celebrated REO
STYLE patents, owned and controlled exclusively by us, in our modern well
equipped factory. Se perfect in construction is this instrument thaf a child can
play with all the expression of the master composer himself.
Every Player-Piane we manufacture has a double valve action and metal
tubing. De net let anybody talk you into buying an instrument with a single valve
action, as it has net the power or endurance if it had, why should we spend twice
as much money in developing a-double valve action?
The very fact that for ever a quarter of a century we have been offering
$10,000.00 for a better piano than the MATCHLESS CUNNINGHAM should be
sufficient proof of its quality!
All our instruments are priced from 20 te 30 per cent, lower than any dealer
anywhere (whether large or small) can afford te sell Terms arranged te suit the
purchaser.
