The death Of President W. j.
Sutherland Of Platteville Normal

shock to the faculty and students of
our Normal School. 1t seems that
he was stricken in his Office early
in the afternoon, but his office doors
being closed his death was not dis
covered until seven o'clock in the
evening. kilograms of sympathy
from the president, the faculty, and
the school were sent to the school at
PlattevilIe. The funeral services
were held at the Normal Auditorium
on Sunday afternoon.

Why We Can Do This

In pianos, as in almost any article, it does
not pay to buy a cheaply built article. Very
unfortunately, however, many agents have sold
poor pianos, obtaining good price-a price
ample to secure standard article. The Wal
than price is fixed by the factory and every di-
rect factory representative is enabled to sell at
this low price, much below prices asked by
dealers for goods that cost less to build Humid
reds of Waltham pianos have been sold at regu-
lar prices, and they are the biggest values on
the market But you save $50 to $175 from
these prices

A Word About Price
and Quality

All big manufacturers, not only of pianos,
everything in use today spend thousands of
dollars each year to advertise their product.
The Waltham Piano Co. has appropriated the
sum Of $25, 900 for advertising and to push the
sale of their goods in Wisconsin this year, $1,000
of which goes to us for use in our large terri
tory But instead of spending this amount in
magazines and journals, and paying big COM
missions to agents and statesmen, it will be Civ
en- to the FIRST SIX BUYERS in this sale in
amounts ranging from 500 to SITS, which will
apply the same as cash payment on any piano
they select.
