Few j— MgjrJ\ \A3aV could afford the piano J( X of these days and still - fewer could become skillful on it. The Thompson Player Piano S37S—EASY TERMS IF YOU PREFER | has brought about a striking contrast. Anyone can play the Thompson Player Piano and whatever music your fancy dictates, even though you've never practiced an hour in your life, for there are thousands and thousands of selections at your, command. * j In the pioneer days of the Player Piano, anything that would reproduce in their proper order, the notes of a composition was considered wonderful. Now-a-days however, the de mands of the Player Piano are far more exacting. In the first place the piano must have "tone." Then comes "control"—that embodiment of the Player Piano which eliminates the "mechanical" effect. Argument here would avail nothing, so, to sum up; let us suggest a demonstration of the Thompson Player Piano. Come in and hear the tone, the expression, and note the ease of control—or better still, come in and play it yourself even though you've never sat before a player piano. Wm. F.

News from Atlantic City to-day that Evangelist Stough will Invite "Billy" to spend a day helping him chase the devil into the Atlantic was met by Sun day with the assurance that he'would ' gladly consider such a "bid" "I'm only \ too glad to help any one," he said.
