evinced so early as the proposed vote

by the Tuffree Music House to the
lady who shall be elected queen or the

Visitors still continue to crowd the
Tuffree Music Store to examine the
magnificent Gable piano offered as the
prize. Expert pianists pronounce 1t
incompatible for beauty of finish and
tone. There is good reason for all
this praise of the piano. The value
is in the instrument Made by the
greatest manufacturers of pianos In
the world, guaranteed in every respect
not only by the manufacturers as well
as by the Tuffree Music House which
never guarantees or sells anything
but the very best 1t would be astonish-
ing il it did not fulfill expectation.
There Is no young lady who is not
ambitious to own a beautiful piano. 1t
is a comfort, a solace, a joy to every
home The opportunity is offered thru
the generosity of the Tuffree Music
House for some young lady to attain
this ambition free of cost. Young
ladies with friends who will be glad
to assist them should start immediate

leading the magnificent floral parade
in the superb $1,000 chariot and
the splendid piano donated by Mr..
Tuffree to the fortunate candidate.

popular and deserving lady win.
