It seems like old times to give space to
W. J. Dyer & Bro, music dealers. This
writer began to advertise them in Mime
apolis a score of years ago. They doubt

Their announcements viii appear in our
columns for some months to come, at
least. Give them chance, and you will
please yourself and help US in the fight.

held, there is yet time for a successful
one. II for any reason you have SO far
failed to secure such an audience as the
