The best is always the cheap

applied to the purchase of a
Piano, because the Piano must
be a lasting and ever usefu,

must have stability.
The Piano that is worth while
cannot be judged by its mere
Quality of today--it must be the
instrument of tomorrow, next
year and years to come.
When you invest your money
in Piano therefore, you should
be sure that it is an instrument
of quality" in all that the word
implies.
Musicians and artists attest the
supremacy of the Chickering

The Reason Why.

Probably more one-dollar articles
are sold here than in any other three
establishments in Washington COM
bined. With the ability to purchase
in much greater quantities than usual,
the Palais Royal department chiefs are
eagerly sought by importers and man
ufacturers-and articles of superior
quality are often secured to distribute
at $I.OO.
That the Palais Royals $I.oo arti-
cles are selected by department chiefs
of innate good taste and clever train
ing is attested in the fact that many
have proved their efficiency with more
than 20 years of faithful service.
Also signihcant-those who have lett
here from time. to time are today hold
ing the most responsible positions in
the great establishments of New York
or Philadelphia.
Please note that grand exposition
of the new SI.oo articles for the spring
of 1911 is the feature of tomorrow's
program. Note that the store will
open at 80 am. and close promptly
at 1 pm.

Il do not look forward to the annexa-
