Two months ago dates the advent Of
the Ludden & Bates Piano Club in the
CITY of Savannah and the country
around. At that time we chose the
hidden & Bates Piano Club as our
method of introducing the New Scale
S40O Ludden & Bates Piano to the pub
lie. Since its first organization and
few people were permitted to know the
merits of this elegant piano 1t has been
almost impossible for US to supply the
demand for it. Ludden & Bates Pianos
have been sold over the entire South for
the past 20 years, but never before have
we been able to offer the public such
yalue, such piano satisfaction, at pop
ular price and on such easy terms OF
payments.
The New Scale S4OO Ludden & Bates
Piano appeals alike to musician and
mechanic. As medium of corroborat-
inc our claims for it at that time the
piano has allowed no doubt to remain
even in the mind of the most skeptlcal
as to the justice of onr reputation to
make good every promise given or every
responsibility we assume.

Club Piano is ssWARRANTED FOR A
LIFETIME' and for the past IS years

particular. Its resonance OF tone, SYM
pathetic quality and wonderful sustain
ing power, with it's evenness Of touch,

appearances it mas reached the standard
Of Workmanship and combining its ar
