THE idea of naming musical societies or
quartette clubs after popular pianos is
growing" in favor, says the Presto. In

ASK QUESTIONS.
When a piano manufacturer tells you
his pianos are the best, and that no others
are worth considering, ask questions.
Ask hint "Why?"
As a matter of fact most pianos are
good; the makers would be foolish to do
other than their best.
The differences between them are
small, but small things are very im-
portant.
It is by excelling- in many little things
that t/u'vt ESER PIANO is lifted above
the common mediocrity of pianodom.
Maybe it's the greater elasticity of the
hammers, our neiv duett desk or our
practice pedal—both patented—which
altogether make so many dealers persist
in /laving the Weser Piano.
Talk to us about it.

AGENTS WANTED.
WE ARE NOT SUCH BIG FOOLS.
We do not expect a dealer to sell the Ann Arbor Organ unless he can make
money by so doing.
We do not expect him to think it is good just because we think it is good.
We do not expect him to crowd out a good seller and sell nothing but the Ann
Arbor.
BUT WE
We make the finest finished organ made in the United States known to us.
Our organs contain many important features which make them sell if the agent
has gumption enough to show them.
Our prices are low if good quality in an organ is worth a cent.
'
AND WE BEUEYE
That any dealer who fails to familiarize himself with all the market affords and
take advantage of an opportunity to buy the best there is. makes a mistake, and the
dealer who in estimating cost figures only the factory price, makes a mistake. It is
not the instrument that costs the least which pays the biggest profit, but the one
which impresses a customer so favorably that he will pay the price and be satisfied
after he has done so.
On this platform we wish you to consider our claims for the Ann Arbor Organ.

This instrument is used by "Royalty," viz. : the "public." Can be used in a "White House," but will stand as well in a house
of any shade. Poetical in tone and matchless in general workmanship. Preferred by the "Queen"—of musical taste—on account of
its tone-sustaining power. It has an opera tone found only in the "Opera" piano. A piano for the musician, for the home, the con-
cert hall, the theatre, the church, schoolhouse, and last but not least the dealer welcomes it in his salesroom; it is one of his best sellers.
