WESER'S SUCCESS.
Good fortune continues to attend the
efforts of John Weser to supply the trade
with Weser pianos at prices calculated to
produce quick sales. His ingenuity is
never-failing in the matter of improve-

facts and figures for business-like people
with inquiring minds.
Hence it is that when a visitor calls at
the Weser factory he is sure to meet sev-
eral out-of-town dealers who have accepted
the firm's invitation to ask questions.
They do ask questions and make critical

T is an old saying that "perfection consists, not in doing ex-
traordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extra-
ordinarily well."
Piano making is quite an ordinary thing now-a-days, as there
are a thousand and one makes on the market. How many are
perfect ?
THE BRIGQS PIANO belongs to the class that defines per-
fection.
Dealers know that shades of differences exist, but it is diffi-
cult to always explain satisfactorily to the customer.
THE BRIGGS PIANO will explain itself clearly and conclu-
sively. Send for catalogue and communicate with us.
