IF you have never heard Sohmer

OF its beauty of tono. How often has it
been said that this or thai piano is Just
as good as Sohner? Whoever saws so
has, in all probability. never heard one,
or is, by reason of an inaccurate ear, in.

The Sohmer pianos are tho finest, as
they are the best cons tructed and the
most durable in the world. II you in

vestigate the subject thoroughly? An
instrument is not bought every day, and
1t is always best to make haste slowly.
We have the largest, finest and most

call on us before purchasing? The Hob

as dem onstration of race aspiration
for political recognition outside of tho
