The case promises to be as SEN

A Little
Reflection
w | l. L

Convince most any one with a
reasonable mind that a little
money spent on their teeth,
once in a while is the money
spent to the greatest advant-
age.
Watch for the small cavities,
1t is much cheaper and better
to have a cavity filled When
they are small than swhen they
get to aching and too large TO
hold a filling properly. BY
neglecting the small cavities
they soon have to tie capped
with gold crowns, costing in
the long run five to six times
as much 20 save the tooth.
So reflect a little and get
busy with those small Filings
1t will pay you in the long run.
Consult a dentist you have
confidence in at once.
Our prices are as low as IL
consistent with first class work.

Reputation or Character?
There's a Vast Difference
NOTHING ADDED TO PRICE OF HALIET DAVIS PIANOS FOR
PURCHASED REPUTATION.

Reputation" is what people.
generally, think of us. "Charac-
ter" is what we really are. A
mans character may be of the
highest order and people generally
know but little of him. Then
there's q chance of mans repu-
tation being better than his actual
character deserves. Character is
not purchasable for money. If 1t
were a poor man would not have
an equal opportunity with the mar
of means to possess 1t. There are
pianos which have built up a ire
mendous reputation by purchased
influence. And there are people
who buy such pianos merely be-
cause they have heard so much
about them. We do not mean that
simply because a piano has a great
reputation 1t is necessarily not
worthy the name 1t has. But we
do make the bold assertion that
pianos with great reputation usu
ally cost more than they are
worth.
When 1t is considered that the
piano trade generally know 1t to
be fact that one of the greatest
of the worlds greatest pianists re-
ceived from a certain piano factory
the princely sum of $50, 900 a year
to play its instruments exclusive
ly, and that a few years ago this
self-same artist was engaged by
another manufacturer for n
greater consideration, how much
credence shall we give to testi-
monials thus secured, and pres
tige thus created? 1t must neces-
sarily follow, also, that every pur-
chaser of pianos thus exploited
through the medium of the con-
cert artist must contribute toward
the payment of these large sums
of money expended by the fac
tories, or how else can the factory
reimburse itself?
The reputation of the Hallet &
Davis piano was established long
before the substituting of artists
became a practice among piano
makers. Its reputation was not
gained nor is 1t maintained by
purchased influence. Essentially
a piano for the home, its makers
have developed the one idea of
perfecting their product along
that line, and with that sole enl
in view. The thought of COM
mercialism is not, never was fore
most in the minds of the Hallet
e Davis manufacturers. You new
er heard of an artist visiting Ia
coma accompanied by a Hallet &
Davis concert grand piano ship
ped by express from city to city
at an expense running up into
thousands and thousands of dol
lars, to say nothing of the cost of
the artist to use it, and
you never will hear of It,. Hallet
& Davis don't do business that
way. Result is, that while not
one single dollar more is expended
by any piano factory in the world
in the building of its goods, not
one whit better workmanship, no
better material, no more painstak-
ing care exercised in the effort
to create piano possessing the
very highest musical worth, the
Hallet e. Davis pianos can be and

Not one thing that can be said
by way of commentator of any

Of the Hallet & Davis, except that
the great throng of travelling con-
cert artists have not been engaged
to play IL.
This Tells the Story.
A lady came into our store Sat-
urday who for years had thought
she would never buy other than
one certain make of piano. She
began looking around. She visit
ed the piano stores in Seattle and
Tacoma, finally strolling into
Silvers Piano Co. She was shown
the Hallet g. Davis piano. She
loved its tone. She admired the
style of It's case. She finally tod
the story of her prejudice for an
other make, but confessed that
after looking them all over. she
had not found the one which an
pealed to her ear until she heard
our Hallet & Davis pianos. 1t had
never occurred to her that there
could be any other reason for the
higher prices she had been quoted
for other pianos, except that they
were probably BETTER. Still,
she couldn't see where the extra
money had been expended to make
the other piano so much higher
priced. No one could have seen
1t. Result was she bought a Hal
let q Davis, and was surprised to
know that Hallet g. Davis pianos
had been manufactured for nearly
30 years before the piano which
she had intended buying had
come into existence. Hallet & Da-
Wis, you know, is the second old
est piano made In America, and
much better than the one piano
which precedes 1t in the history of
American piano making.
Franz Liszt Knew It.
The immortal List had some
thing to say about Hallet &, Davis
pianos before the era of subsidiEa-
ton of artists began. He said
after inspecting the Hallet & Da
Wis pianos at the Paris exposition
In 1857:
1.-THE distinguishing advantages
of American pianos, peculiar rich
ness of tone and extreme solidity
of construction, were evident to
eye and ear in the most admirable
instruments manufactured, the
Hallet e Davis of Boston, which
were tested here yesterday. 1t is
highly desirable that the use and
enjoyment of these instruments
should be attainable for European
pianists.
All styles of Hallet G. Davis
pianos may be seen now at the
Silvers Piano Co., priced on an
average of $135 below the price
which for more than 15 years has
been maintained on the Pacific
coast for the exact styles prior
to the time we took over tho
agency. This is made possible
only by the economical manner In
which we conduct our store.
Come in and see us before buy
ing. 1t will pay you.
