How often has been remarked the wonder
full prosperity of the Hamilton music house,
step by step upward, each yeal increasing
the business, till to-day it stands pre-emi-
nently ahead OF all others.
The cause of this is apparent From the
beginning he has placed before his patrons
pianos and organs of such merit and worth
that they not only please those who possess
them, but also their neighbors and friends;
the instruments speak their own qualities.
The names of Decker Bros, Knabe,
Fischer and Estey pianos, and Estey, and
Story & Clark organs are praised by
artists and amateurs. In what other sales
room do you find such an array of first-class
instruments? They challenge comparison.
For the holiday trade Hamilton has on
display beautiful and endless variety of
these matchless instruments which you can
buy at very low prices and on terms
the most accommodating. 1t will pay
you to see them before you purchase. The
salesroom is open every night till 9 o'clock.
