immediately do so. They are certainly
very attractive instruments, both as to case

on. The Stevens Organ Co. 's instruments
are great favorites with the trade, and have
always proven rapid sellers. Dealers un-

H. HENNING, of the Henning Piano
Co., Brooklyn, is one of those men
who make it a point that the instruments
bearing his name shall serve as a demon-
stration of his ability in the piano making
field. Mr. Henning has devoted more than
thirty years of his life to the theory and
practice of piano construction, and is
among those well able to explain in detail
the mysteries of piano making.
It is no
wonder that the Henning piano is such a
favorite. Dealers appreciate the value of
a piano built under the supervision of such
a man.
