STRANGE
PIANO
ADS.

advertisements. sometimes. are
curious things. They are rarely ahso-
lutciy false, even when their effect is
most misleading. Their u.ual super
lative strain may make a puzzled pub-
lie think Of the child who. after read
ing number Of epitlphs, inquired
Where the bad people were buried ."
but in most instances even when an
advertisement mas induced the public
to make most unsatisfactory pur-
chase the advertisement which proved
so deceitful can rarely be convicted OF
actual falsehood. Like the Juggling
friend" In Macbeth. 1T has kept the
promise to the car" II II broke II Ir
the hope" All that is set down In the
advertisement is fairly vcracious. but
great deal Of useful information IL
often omitted which. had It been in
serted. would have somewhat altered
Its complexion. When you read an
advertisement OF our writing observe
what We 10 not say as we'll as what
we say. when We say we are selling

at $3.50 We will give $4,000 TO any
Charitable institution that may be
named By any leading New York

statement.
A fact is stubborn thing, and so is
the selling Of piano.
We really entered the piano busi-
ness thirty years ago, and we have
yet to be- credited with selling a $i5l
piano for $3.50 during Anniversary"
weeks or AT any other time.
Verify pianos make strange adver-
tiscments.

Judge Silliman objected to the
form Of the decree, and also to the
finding of fact, and asked for per-
mission to present motion for stay
OF proceedings, but this was refu ,ed
by the Court. Notice OF appeal has
already been given.
