ENERY & KINDS.
Merrill Pianos

You know that the value of any article
is based solely on what it can be
bought for in the open market.
Pianos of low quality are sold without re-
gard to any fixed price principle, and unfor-
tunately, the uninformed and unsuspectng
purchaser, gets an inferior instrument much
to his disappointment and loss.
How is piano purchaser to be safe and
sure in making n purchase? To the man,
woman, or young person about to purchase
piano we would say: This store points to
the straight, safe road. We handle only RE-
LIABLE GOODS. On this point there Is no
question Our unlimited guarantee which is
behind every piano we sell, is an absolute
protection for every purchaser. We recon-
mend the MERRILL PIANOS because we
are familiar with the details OF Its manu-
facture, and the many thousands OF these
instruments which have been sold In New
England--a goodly number of them by us,
to satisfied purchasers, speaks volumes for
the reliability Of the instrument.
