OUR PROVINCES

During this age of expansion
and development of nations, even
the staid old United States has
begun to talk Of its provinces. But
it is not exactly of such province
we would now deal. 1t is especial
ly within our province just now to
talk the "Iyers and Pond" piano,
and that in the new princess
Grand"
This is as fine small Grand as
ever graced a parlor, embodying
in the smallest possible space, the
fullest, truest, roundest voice, and
as extensively made as any piano
in the world. All as regards the
construction of a piano, whether it
be in tone production, embellish-
ing the case, or quality of material
and method of building, it offers a
suitable model for the most ambi-
tious manufacturers to copy.
We are determined to push
higher and higher for the bulk of
our trade, and are going to sell
this handsome "Princess Grand"
for $65O.00 and grant reasonable
terms if desired.
