has been nominated for President. Her platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being a potent factor. She demands as starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and thinks they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger & Co possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors. Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time a company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like a reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbor's goods, thereby proving Shon- inger's popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water, Tippecanoe- and-Tyler-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success. We have taken her advice and are doing more business than all the rest put together. Examine our stock.
