1.-THE OLD SQUARE PIANO.
How well do I remember,
In days when 1 was young,
The dear old square piano,
Around whose sides we sung.
It's case SO brightly polished,
It's keys of pearly white,
That dear old square piano
Was precious to my sight.
But now we have a CABLE
It's the finest in the land
The dear old square isn't in it;
For its like an old tin pan.
CABLES are always noted
For their sweet and lasting tone,
And if you are in the market
Put a CABLE in your home. M.
