X. IL. Lee.
The establishment OF Il. B. Lee, sue
cessor to Ryland & Lee. sos cast Main
street, is one OF the great plano-houses
OF the South. 1t was established years
ago, and has, by fair dealing. energy
and enterprise, built up an enviable repu-
tation and a tremendous trade. Inc
house does business on large scale
buying instruments In lots OF a hundred
at a time. Among the specialties OF
II. Il. Lees house are the Fischer and the
Hallett a. Davis pianos. Both OF these
are superb instruments for the parlor
the drawing-room. the concert hall, and
the school, Their durability has been
thoroughly tested, and their sweetness OF
tone does not admit OF question. They
are great instruments, and just what the
people want. X. b. Lee showed great
sagacity in taking hold of the Fischer
and the Hallett & Davis pianos. He
knew that. with proper enterprise
backed by their merit, they were bOunt
to become great favOrtes. These plano:
come in cases that are in themselves tho
