his lame for honest integrity, fair dealing

The following is from the gifted pen Of
Prof g. w. Ready, of the Sedalis univers-
ity, and managing editor of the University
Revie,r.
THE J. W. TRUxEL MUSIC CO.
The subj ct of this article is not an ad-
veniurer in our midst, nor is he, in any re-
spect, a new candidate for public favors.
During the eight years in which he has
been engaged in the music trade In this
city, he has seen as many as fifteen or
twenty firms in the same business come and
60. His standing as q citizen and as busi-
ness man, is that of character, that when
the financial storm shall come, and shall
have passed, il leaves his reputation unfair
nished, and his friends still true to him.
Mr.. Truxel has built up an immense trade
in Central Missouri, by selling the best
grade of pianos and organs, for less money
than is paid for an inferior article in many
places. This fact is sttested by many of
our prominent citizens, now having in
their houses instruments purchased in bis
establishment. He is enabled to sell low
by buying for cash, thus securing discounts
from the trade, also from his extensive ac-
quaintance, and the large number of instru-
mems bought. This house buys directly
from the manufacturer, and are agents for
none. In addition TO the manufacturers
guarantee, Mr.. Truxel gives his own guar.
antee for five years, which means q great
deal, as we happen to know that In two
cases, the instruments sold, were found de-
fective, and were at once taken up without
any expense - the purchaser. The Hal
lett & Cumston piano is sold here, and is
considered second to none in the market.
II has been on trial for fifty years, and has,
combined in it, "the maximum of power,
with the utmost delicacy and promptness
of action They present their new scale
upright piano to the public, and challenge
comparison with any other instrument
Those in the city who are competent to
Judge. say that in tone, action, quality and
durability, it stands unexcelled. The very
best terms, in the way of time and price,
are given by this house to purchasers. The
pianos used by the Sedalia university ar
furnished by Mr.. Truxel, and give entire
satisfaction.
Sheet music, violins, guitars and such
things as are usually kept in q music house
can be fonnd here at ZIG. Ohio st
We should fail in our duty, did we not
compliment the J. w. Truxel Music Co.,
upon their elegant rooms. The house has
undergone complete change in every de-
partment no dingy walls and fy-specked
ceiling to mar the harmony of the sur
roundings, but beautifully tinted paper
carefully and tsstefully arranged, makes
one feel as If in modern and well.lighted
parlor.
