The best and quickest way to bring dead pianos

PERFECTION CO.'S ACTIVITIES.
President F. S. Smith of the Perfection Furniture
Co., 2267-69 Clybourn avenue, Chicago, is justly proud
of the fine dinette sets that his company is manufac-
turing for a select trade. He is having them manu-
factured in four different styles and done in four
different finishes, with colored sfripes near the edges.
Mr. Smith's old customers are rallying to his support
with some good orders for piano benches among their
demands.
CONOVER APPRECIATION
The Conover piano was the instrument used with
the church organ for the accompaniment, choruses and
instrumental music in the production of "Samson and
Delilah" at Glen Ellyn two weeks ago by the Choral
Club Society of that enterprising Chicago suburb.
This Conover piano ranks very high by amateur and
professional musicians in the Glen Ellyn community
and has a very warm friend in Mrs. Ruth Sanderson
Phillips, who is regarded as one of the leading ac-
companists, teacher and pianist in Chicago and
vicinity.
At the sale of the Bellevue, Iowa, plant, which at
one time was the H. G. Johnson Piano Co.'s estab-
lishment, it is worthy of note that at least two dif-
ferent piano manufacturing concerns of Chicago were
represented by men who were among the onlookers,
if not actually bidders.
