Years ago when everything was
booming in Nevada and California

which he invested advantageously in
California.
He was known to all the tourists Of
the Coast and the portly. old Captains

A NEW haven MUSIC STORE. )


/ Gustave Bolze, of 494 and 400 State
street, New Haven, has gathered togeth-
er at his store at the above address col
lection of musical instruments in the
shape of pianos, organs and music boxes
that are well worth taking the time to
look at when visiting the city. The lat
est and seemingly most wonderful Of
them all is thesself playing piano. This
instrument looks just like any piano.
Underneath the key board is a drawer
which pulls out and in which is placed
the roll of music to be played. When in
place the electric current is applied, and
Mr. Bolze tells us that all of the great
compositions of the masters can be pro-
duced as il under the touch of the mas
ters themselves. 1t is not necessary to
nave electricity to make these pianos
give forth their melodies, for small
crank can be applied which answers ev-
cry purpose. This is truly wonderful
instrument, and another pleasing feature
GO piano Workmanship is lever, which
can be put in any piano, which gives a
mandolin effect. Mr. Bolze keeps a fine
line of high grade pianos, church and
chapel organs and music boxes which he
would be pleased to quote prices on to
any one desiring to purchase musical in
struments.
