six sections to the me these grants increased in size
from year year. until they attained TO the magnitude OF
40 square miles Of land to each mile OF completed road

Government an unexamped and magnificent lberality.

1t affords me much pleasure to give you,
in these few lines, 4 very sihtere tesrimo
NAL for The Piano Fortes OF your manu-,
facture. We have now used the "PATEST
ARIoN PIANOS in our Conservatives for
year, and have had n fair opportunity of
testing their durability during that time
The Pianos have been played upon almost
constantly, from morning til night, and n
Piano tnnst Indeed be good one when il
will bear such constant use without show
ing signs Of detection. As for remaining
in time, it outriyals any Piano known to
me.
Their peculiar sweetness Of tone in the
treble, las compared 10 Other Pianos with
the ordinary metal agrafe arrangement,
is SO striking that have had pupils re-
mark. while taking their lessons. that al
though they had at home what they sup
posed to be one ofthe best makes of Pianos,
still the treble was very wiry.toned COM
pared with the " ARIoy.'
What makes them still more desirable
is their uniform volume of tone, which
enables the artist to perform Il composition
in il. true character.
In total, can cohscientionsly endorse
all that is claimed by the AhroS Piano
FORTE COMPANY for their superb instru-
mrnts. MS consider them superior 10 any
other make.
Congratula,ing'r,you upon the great sue
cess you have obtained in the Tunu'icture
of SO perfect mn instrument, remain
Yours, very truly,
HENRY SCHROEDER,
Director.
