DON'T throw away good money
- foolishly, dribbling around after

Useless "knick knacks," toys,
do-funnies and the like, with which
money you can make a substantial
payment on a fine piano.
The piano brought home Christ
mas eve will gladden. the hearts of the
whole family, from the old folks down
to the little tots. A piano In the home
Is not Useless ornament IN this day
and age. bot a modern necessity. A
source Of pleasure, means OF educa-
cation and stepping stone to higher
culture and refinement. Home is not
home without piano, and your child
rem are denied the privileges others
enjoy. Think seriously over this be-
fore it Is too late. 1t is this Christ
mas, or, perhaps, never. Ten dollars,
or eight, or six dollars a month looks
easy, and it is easy: and that money
