SIX PIANOS
To Be Sold Here.
ANNOUNCEMENT.

As means of helping TO make our
new store at Hagerstown more popular,
we have decided to sell six Of our best
pianos in or near Shepherdstown at the
manufacturer cost.
We have had the hardest kind Of a
fight to get started in Hagerstown. The
local dealers having had things all their
way for years, they quite naturally did
not want a manufacturer S branch here.
But we have broke down all their bar
riers and are today selling more pianos
than we would have sold here before.
Any person thinking Of purchasing can
be supplied with the names and adj
dresses of over 100 purchasers within
the last three months-all within fifty
miles Of Shepherdstown. They are at
liberty to write to or call upon these
people and hear what they have to say.
All who have thus far Investig gated us
and our pianos have not hesitated an.
other moment, but have taken advan-
tage Of our Introductory prices and
bought right away.
Believing that there is a growing de-
mand for the best grade Of pianos, we
will start business here by selling half
a dozen pianos at cost, doing away en-
trely with dealers and agents profits.

Real Estate Agency.

H. L. Snyder, publisher Of the REG
IsTER, has organized real estate
agency under the name of II. L. Sny-
der & Co., and the new firm is now
ready to attend to business in this line.
All matters of this sort will be given
prompt attention, and persons having
houses, lots, farms or other real estate
to sell are requested to place the same
in the hands of the firm named. 1t
has been recognized for some time that
a real estate agency would probably
be a good thing for the community in
bringing together buyers and sellers,
and it is hoped that public improve
merits may result. The headquarters
of the firm will be in the REGISTER Of
fee, and persons having property to
sell are requested to place it with us.
There is absolutely no charge unless a
sale is made, and the commissions will
be moderate. 1t is expected that
some desirable property will be offered
to the public in the course of a few
weeks. The head Of the firm will be
glad to talk business with anyone In
terested.

 But no one seems to be worrying very much about the kitchen mother works in, and, in some busy households. about lives in. There are no exciting discussions as to how that kitchen can be made beau- tiful for her, no convocation of women puzzling their brains lest there be some stone unturned that would make her kitchen hours more interesting and more artistic
