beautiful Upton Parlor piano which is
now upon exhibition at their stores.
These pianos retail at $4,000 each,
guarantee for ten years. The princi-
pal points of superiority of the cele

this class of instruments lie in the
three strings in unison with overstrung
bass, the spleniidly pitched scale and
true sounding board which give the Up
ton that rich, deep, even tone so much
