THE Nathan Ford Music Company, of St.
Paul, will henceforth handle the A. B. Chase
piano as leader instead of the Hard man. A
large order was given last week when the change
was affected. The A. B. Chase Company are to
be congratulated on securing a house that can
so fittingly represent the admirable instrument
they manufacture.

YOU WANT
a newspaper that is
up with the progress-
ive tendencies of the times ? Certainly you
do ! No man is satisfied to do business
without a live, modern, progressive paper.
THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW is no stranger
to you. It is like the wind, going every-
where. You meet it in the office, in the
wareroom, on the road. It is always pre-
senting new features and the latest news in
a condensed form. The longer a subscriber
takes it the better he likes it. It never
presents stale news, never gives yoti that
"tired feeling."
A DOLLAR COUNTS
now-a-
da y s,
and that is why we are going to make you
a big, liberal offer, including a combination
which covers business and home. Just read
this little offer. THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
costs three dollars to receive it every year.
We've told you about that.
THE KEYNOTE
costs one dollar
and a half a year.
Some points regarding that ?—certainly ! It
was started ten years ago, has an extensive
circulation among musicians everywhere.
It has lately come into our possession. We
are greatly increasing its circulation in all
sections. Its literary features compare
favorably with any magazine published.
Some of its departments are Literary, Mus-
ical, Artistic, Church Choirs, Woman's
World, the Drama, and all the news of musi-
cians. It is not in the remotest sense a
trade paper.

D U I L I O I L l l I we give s e v e r a l

land. The music alone is worth ten times
the cost of the paper.
OUR OFFER
is this : If you wish to
avail yourself of the
reduction, we will send you THE MUSIC
TRADE REVIEW and THE KEYNOTE for
one
year for three dollars. Of course this offer
only holds good for a limited time.
