Piano Agencies that of Behr

Their first instrument in town
is now on exhibition at our
warerooms, and we invite the
public to come and inspect it.
1t is an upright instrument and
is manufactured by the firm
that introduced the "Muffler"
which is also shown in this
piano. They are sold by all
the prominent dealers in the

To the purchaser of this instru-
ment great reduction in price
will be made to introduce it.
