WILLIAMS
PIANOS
The policy of the Williams House is and always
has been to depend upon excellence of product
instead of alluring price. Such a policy does not
attract bargain hunters. It does, however, win the
hearty approval and support of a very desirable
•nd substantial patronage.

STEINWAY ON DISPLAY
AT LYON & HEALY'S
Famous Instruments Will Be Prominently
Shown in Both Warerooms and Show
Windows During Convention Week.
An elaborate showing of Steinway pianos has been
planned by Lyon & Healy, Wabash and Jackson,
Chicago, during convention week, and visiting dealers
are invited to spend some of their time in viewing
the models of the famous instrument.
The large corner window, which has an admirable
location, will be arranged with a beautiful Steinway
piano. World famous artists will be quoted on the
Steinway, among whom the opinion of Paderewski,
giving prominence to the fact that the artist has
chosen the Steinway in preference to all other instru-
ments, as the ideal piano for his art.
An impressive showing of the Steinway will also
be had in the piano department in which the visitors
will find the air of hospitality and refinement that
distinguishes the place.

GERMAN BLACK LIST.
Under the heading "l'rotection (or Warning) List
of the Union of German Pianoforte Dealers," a Ger-
man contemporary publishes a list of German firms
(twenty-seven strong) that are offering pianos too
cheap, selling to private buyers, or are advertising
in unfair terms, etc. The Union of German Piano
Dealers is very active in its movement against
"unfair competition," and has instituted legal proceed-
ings against offenders.
OPENS NEW MUSIC STORE.
J. W. Hill has come to Plainview, Tex., and opened
a branch of the Amarillo Music Co. in the building
formerly occupied by the Quality Bakery at 513
Broadway. Mr. Hill announces that he will handle
24 different makes of pianos and talking machines.
The store was opened Saturday for business.
FAMOUS TENOR PRAISES
WESER BROS. PIANO
Bernardo de Muro, Operatic Artist, Commends
Tone of Instrument Whose Sales
Volume Grows Amazingly.
Bernardo de Muro, the famous Sardinian tenor,
who recently made his debut at the Manhattan Opera
House, New York, chose the Weser piano in prefer-
ence to all others and praised the tone qualities of the
instrument unstintingly. The organization of Weser
Bros., Inc., feels justly gratified that its instrument
was selected for such prominent use, and it is just
another of many increasing evidences of the wonder-
ful improvement which has taken place in the pianos
being produced by this old established firm.
During the past five or six years there has been a
concentrated effort on the part of the management
to produce an instrument which should be second
to none in the commercial grade, and the fact that the
volume of wholesale business being done by Weser
Bros, has grown by leaps and bounds is an indica-
tion that their efforts in this respect have met with
signal success.
During the month of May orders booked by Weser
Bros, were 110 per cent in excess of the business
received during May of the preceding year and every
month thus far during 1925 has shown a very sub-
stantial improvement over the preceding year.
The recent change in the superintendence' of the
Weser factories has been a most beneficial one and
each day's mail brings words of commendation from
the long list of dealers who are now featuring the
Weser piano.
