Many Tone"
PIANOS

When you buy a piano why not get
one from which you can obtain the
tones Of many other instruments? The
GROWN is the "Multum in Parvo"
among pianos. GROWN" costs no
more than any good single tone" pi-
ano does. GROWN" lasts twice as
long as "one tone" pianos
can. CROWN" has hundreds of
tones and effects which no
single tone" piano. of dreary
monotony, can have. They try TO make
you believe that the GROWN is COM
plicated and apt to get out OF order,
while the fact is, and is plain to any
ore who looks at It, that the GROWN
piano is perfectly simple and simply
perfect They try to fool the people
into thinking that the devices for max.
ing many tones" injure the piano, or
In time will injure its piano tone. while
the very opposite Is the exact truth anC
fact. The GROWN" simply because
OF its devices for making many tones
is warranted to, and It will. wear twice
es long as any single tone" piano can
We will show and prove this TO you II
you will only call and give us and the
CROWN a hearing.

Street and Sewer Director Simmons
is reported to have stated on Tuesday
at the meeting of the board that the an
nuai additional cost Of the 1877 arc
lights ordered for benefit Of the cleo
trio company's treasury and the citi-
zens Of Wilmington will be about s..
000 He must have made some mistake
in his figures. unless he was incor-
rectly reported. AT present there are
263 arc lights, for which the city pays
500 each year-$26.sOO When the
number reaches 400 the annual price
for each lamp will be but $50. Thai
viii be $4,000 a year for the 400 lamps
The cost OF the 1877 additional lamps
will. therefore. be the difference be-
tween the cost Of 26s lamps at 500
each and 400 lamps at $50 each, which
is $500. There are other elements L
be considered; but they need not b
regarded here.

To use paradoxical expression, the
only money wasted in advertising is
the money which is not expended for
it. II the tradesmen could probably
keep the public in ignorance concern
ing the existence Of his store and its
stock nobody would advertise. But
since advertising has been proved Ia
be both profitable and necessary there
is no logical excuse for the merchant
who refuses to employ that method OF
lettering his business fortunes.
