ban train to Seeley. These piles range
from forty to sixty feet. They have all
been through the creosoting process.

mel work in the most economical manner.

Why the Sr1EFF
Piano is More
Durable Than Others

The first layer of veneer on the
STIEFF Piano is quarter cut, though
never seen. 1t would be easier to use
the cheaper rotary cut veneer and the
purchaser would never know the
difference, but the Stieff Piano is
built to last, and the best wood is
necessary. The case is double veneer
ed and vanished, inside and out, and
the successive steps follow each other
slowly, allowing ample time for each
one to dry. There is more varnish
placed on the hidden parts of the
STIEFF than manyE makers use on
the entire piano. IT, you appreciate
