FUNK 4 -:-DEALER IN -:- High Grade Plain Pianos, Player Pianos, Organs, Victrolas, Rec ords, and Professional Tu ner, McConnellsburg, Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than good music. To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived m this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of this county that have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano, or Player Piano; or your. Plain Piano, for a Player. See me. ' Let's talk it over. L.! W. FUNK. W, M. COMERER, agent for 7 Hi.
