totti)
In looking for a perfectly
satisfactory piano to place be-
fore the public as your leader,
you consider several things.
ist. Is it a reliable make?
2nd. What is its standing in
the musical world ?
3rd. Will it be so satisfact-
ory that it will increase my
business from year to year.
4th. What is there to back
up this instrument?
We want you to consider the
Haines Bros, in the light of all
these points.
A reputation of years is back
of this piano, and nothing can
convince the makers that qual-
ity is not of highest importance
regardless of cost. They be-
lieve that the only instrument
it pays the manufacturer to
make, the dealer to sell and the
customer to buy is the best.
In the Haines Bros, you get
the best at a moderate cost—
and we don't ask you to take
our word for it either. All we
ask is that you investigate for
yourself. We want to get
you sufficiently interested to
examine the Haines Bros. Af-
ter that the piano will speak
for itself and we will accept
your judgment.
If this isn't fair, tell us what
you think is. We feel sure
your decision will be as favor-
able as that of thousands of
Haines Bros, users
In any event write us now
to arrange to see one of these
pianos.
You'll miss an opportunity
if you don't.

STULTZ & BAUER'S FALL CATALOGS
•The regular fall catalog of Stultz & Bauer, re-
cently compiled, will be ready for distribution
to the trade in about ten days, and judging from
advance proofs the volume, embracing thirty-two
pages, will prove one of the handsomest ever
issued. The catalog will be fully illustrated with
halftone cuts and exploit the full line of pianos
and player pianos with terse text matter that
will prove valuable to every dealer who receives
it,
CELEBRATE 20TH ANNIVERSARY.
Hayden Bros., the department store of Omaha,
Neb., recently celebrated the twentieth anniver-
sary of the establishment of their piano ware-
rooms. They claim to have been the first de-
partment store in the United States to handle
pianos, and state that when they installed their
first stock in 1887 an early failure was predicted,
especially in the East. Hayden Bros, now han-
dle the following line: Knabe, Chickering, Soh-
mer, J. & C. Fischer, Estey, Smith & Barnes,
Schaeffer, Price & Teeple and Wegman pianos.
The department manager is Thomas P. Quinlan.
JERSEYITES TO NEW YORK.
It is said that following close upon the visit
of an agent of the Wanamaker piano department
in New York, to Newark, N. J., ten salesmen quit
their jobs simultaneously and without notice to
go to New York. Although the Newark dealers
have become used to sudden changes of the group
of salesmen known as the "flying squadron" the
general exit caused not a little annoyance.
Zivahlen & Co. will establish a music store in
Malone, N. Y., at an early date.
