that THE specific characteristic of
beer is not it's alcoholic property. Mod
ern technics in beer brewing have
tendency to reduce the amount of alco-

that they will be able to induce him
to enter the race.
When asked by a representative OF

We have decided to accept at face
value the coupons given away in a
word contest.
We are all serious and you have the
best opportunity of your lives. We
have a new catalogue finished in
January before any word contest was
suggested. AS our pianos were priced
to meet the hardest competition the
west could produce, our acceptance of
these coupons is a bona fide allowance.
If we had got up this contest and had
had a chance to boost prices to take
care of preferred credits you might
have occasion for suspicion.

the safe place to invest coupons to the
extent of a selection of a beautiful
