Phenomenal Growth in Popularity OF th
Everett Piano-FactSry Capacity 10 be
Doubled.


One would think that a piano factory
which turned out so finished pianos per
week, would be almost enough to supply all
America. Yet this has been the production
of the Everett factory, and now we are noti-
fed that the company are at work on the
foundations for another factory of equal
capacity. and by the first of October will be
making 160 pianos per week. Think of il,
and ask why it is, that while other max
ers are struggling for existence, this COM
pany cannot supply the demand Tor their
pianos. The reasons are simple. The fact
Is that the Everett Company are a rare COM
bination OF money and brains. The present
aetory, while not the largest, is probably
the best equipped and most systematically
conducted one in the world, consequently
they are able TO make frst-class piano for
iess money than other makers. This being
the case, 1t naturally follows that the wide
awake dealers in the business all want the
agency ior the Everett piano. They are the
foremost pianos OF tine day, and ample proof
o. this can be found at the agency in this
city' Where you can get pianos of almost
every other make, which have been taken in
exchange Tor the Everett. Alex. Ross, o.
tracted for $50 of these pianos and while
these last, has reduced the price s75 ON ali
styles. so that you can now get one of the
finest pianos In the world at $3.50, in a rose
wood case, or at 1915 and S4OO in auy of the
fancy styles OF mahogany, antique oak.
French walnut, etc. These are cash nrices
but you can arrange TO get one of these
pianos on payments to suit your own con
venience. Dc not fail to see them. or send

Spartan Sociology.

Every student of history knows that

and the useful, and that they took the
means to get them. Bodily perfection
and mental activity were attained by
welt appointed exercise and healthy pa
rents. The sickly and the constitutionally
diseased were not allowed to marry; the
healthy were punished if they did not
marry. Men that were unmarried after
certain ago were excluded from the
society of women, and once year were
exhibited in public as warning to other
and Younger men. Young men and
Young women were not allowed to marry
before they had attained maturity or cut
loose from parental leading strings. This
Spartan system, which WAS purely for
the welfare Of the state, was in force for
500 years, and no Drawer nor stronger
men, no more healthy nor more beauti-
full women, were ever seen than in old
