autoharp is undoubtedly the instrument
of the day. Travel where you will, in the
high class music and department stores of this
city or any other city in the Union, and you
come across the autoharp. The demand for this
excellent instrument is simply wonderful, and
it is not confined to those of popular price, but
extends to the high grade concert autoharps.
A dealer cannot be faithful to his own best in-
terests when he neglects becoming acquainted
with this money maker. The autoharp is not a
"fad;" it is not for to-day but for all time,
and it is bound to make its way into every
American home.
