most important instrument, our stay would have been
monotonous indeed." writes Lieutenant Whalen,
ship's service officer on the U. S. S. Rochester, in a
letter to the Gulbransen Co., Chicago, complimenting
it on the merits of the Gulbransen piano.
"In behalf of the officers and crew of the U. S. S.
Rochester," he continues, "I wish to express to you
our sincere appreciation for the extreme consideration
shown this vessel in the purchase of a piano from
your firm. At present we are en route to New York
for leave. Incidentally we hope to build up a real
orchestra for our next cruise to Panama."

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY.
Hanson's Music Store, Kane, Pa., which is cele-
brating its thirtieth anniversary, was founded in 1897
by Peter Hanson, locating in the Lafferty Building on
Fraley street. In 1911 his son, O. W. Hanson, took
over the business and in 1916 it was moved to 109
Fraley street, where the building was purchased in
1920. The business has grown steadily during O. W.
Hanson's management and now has a floor space of
over 4,000 square feet. A full line of pianos, phono-
graphs, sheet music and small goods is handled.

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, howerer, win the
hearty approval and support of a rery desirable
and substantial patronage.
