offer ever experienced in all Our history OF piano
selling! An offer which comes direct from the
largest manufacturer of small grand pianos IN
the world-to the Washington public!
This rare opportunity is possible because of
the great purchasing power of the Arthur Jordan
Piano Colts willingness to pay casl1-plus the
desire of this large manufacturer to introduce
these beautiful period model Baby Grands in the

As result Washington music lovers are
offered what can safely be called the greatest
BABY Grand event ever attempted in our history.

Most Lustrous Pearls.

La Paz. where pearls come from. is
a small slender strip of a town on the
west coast. with the sea in front. and
a desert mesa land behind It, Spanish
adventures landed here about 800
years ago and found pearls. This
gradually led to the town becoming
the center of thriving pearl fishery,
which II still is. TO a certain extent,
says the Adventure Magazine.
Pearl fanciers contend that here are
found the purest rayed and most lus-
trous pearls in the world. but not in
very large quantities. For this rea-
son. but chiefly because of the ingrow-
ing aversion of the inhabitants for
work. the pearl trade has greatly
