I should yibFafe ia perfect sympathy with

Of the board run Gt right angles from the

serious fault and prOunceS pure. correct,
sympathetic singing tones, Tree irom over

Inspect these instruments can easily dis
cover the above facts for themselves. In
thorough workmanship and faultless finish,
the Chase Brothers pianos are the peers
Of any. and in the prolongation and purity
of tone and fine singing quality they have
no equal.
Msigs n Cos Special Premiums.
Among the special premiums offered al
/ the West Michigan Fair, was one of $1,000
/ by ArthHr Megs < Co. for the best loaf of
white bread made in private family; no
conditions, sxcept that if the bread was
made from -four bought at their store an
additional premium of 50 90 should be
| given. The committee selected 10 Judge of
the merits of the different loaves on exhi-
bition consisted of Messrs. \. c. Johnson,
| A Bradford and VIM. Sears, but owing to
the absence of Mr.. Sears from the city, Mr.
A. d. Plumb was placed upon the commit
| tee as a substitute. There were loaves of
salt-rising and yeast bread competing for
the premiums but the committee were una
| bic 10 decide between a loaf of salt-rising
bread made by Mrs. f. o. Rose and loaf
of yeast bread made by Mrs. u. b kOOl-
man and awarded the honor and premium
TO be divided equally between them.
A loaf of bread made by Edith knight, a
| miss of sixteen years deserves especial
mention for It's excellence being wholly
made by one so young in years. In justice
to Miss Knight the committee stated that
the difference between her bread and that
awarded the premium was very slight and
! that If there had been a second premium to
! give it certainly would have been awarded
| to her. The loaves Of bread which were
awarded the premium will be on exhibition
at the store of Arthur Meigs & Co. for few
days, where the firm will be glad to. have
every lady call and see 10 what perfection
the art of breadmaking can be brought
when -four is purchased OF Arthur Meigs X
Co.
