We are now comfortably settled In our new
quarters, a neat and commOdous store, well
adapted tor our largely increasing business
We occupy the whole OF our present ware
rooms, which gives us chance to display our
instruments at a much better advantage than
was possible ever before, besides enabling us
to carry very much larger stock of Pianos
and Organs than was ever attempted by any
concern outside the large cities.
The Estey Piano still continues growing in
favor, and Ii Is safe to say that already more
of them are being used in Rutland than of any
other one make, which is a signifinant tact,
considering that II is but little more than one
year ago since they were first introduced
here. The Decker Brothers Pianos, which
we control, need no comments from us. This
piano stands first among musicians every
where, and everybody knows IL. We also
control the Behr Brothers Piano which is well
and tavorably known in this locality. In this
piano is combined all of the best qualities OF
other makes besides possessing several i'm
portant features OF its own, which makes it
the most desirable moderate priced piano now
manufactured. We car. y full line of these
pianos and invite comparison. Besides the
pianos mentioned we have "A number of cheap
er makes which are reliable and give splend-
id satisfaction, and now we can truly say we
are in position where we can defy competi.
tiOn from any and all sources. We carry a full
line OF the world renowned Estey Organs in
their new 1889 models, with latest improve.
ments In design and mechanism, Including
automatic attachments. Our stock is now
very complete, and need only be seen to be
appreciated.
