A Remarkable Instance.
It is always gratifying to note the progress
and success of an institution which has for
its foundation the following principles:
Reliable goods, low prices and honest rep
RESERVATIONS. These are the principles
upon which the Capital City Music COM
pany have built up trade second to that
of no other music house in the state.
The best is good enough for the average
American, and they have it, They have no
notion of making fortune from every in
strument sold. but are content with mod
crate profit, and have been the means of
vastly reducing the formerly enormous
prices on pianos.
AS virtue is its own reward" so is ''hon-
esty the best policy" and they have found
it a very important factor in building up
| their business.
Buying the same quality of goods for lsss
money than any other house in Montana,
they are enabled to sell at the lowest posi-
BILE figure. either for cash or on the INSTALL
ment plan. Among their pianos We notice
the Raymond, Hallet and Davis-well styled
by celebrated pianist-"The king OF
pianos" Also the Emerson, which has had
such an enormous sale in Montana. We
also report a fair trade on the kimball
piano, which the worlds greatest singer,
Patti, SO highly endorsed year ago.
Conspicuous among the organs is the
famous kimball, whose name has been a
household word for generation, while the
Lyon d Healy and New England are among
others in stock. Their business is carried
on in quiet but etfectual manner without
any flibustering or extravagant preten'
lions. Orders from neighborinR towns arr
promptly filled and the goods apcn delivery
are found exactly as recommended.
The Capital City Music company certainly
deserves the patronage of the people o
Montana.
