"Words of Praise"
FOR THE BKHNING PIANO FROM DEALERS AND
PURCHASERS
A TELLING BOOKLET.
The Behning Piano Co., have just issued
a neat booklet entitled "Words of Praise,"
containing substantial testimony from
every section of the country as to the
merits of the Behning products.
Just as every section is represented, so
is every department of music strongly in
evidence, as well as other branches. Here
is a notable dealers' testimony:
We have been selling the Behning Piano ever
since we have been in business, and while hun-
dreds of your Pianos have been sold in this vicin-
ity, we have yet to hear a single complaint. They
are models of excellence.

Allegany and Salamanaca, N. Y.
It has the true ring and the sincerity of
the writers is beyond all question.
Among professional certificates of merit
there are many excellent testimonials.
The following is a fair sample from a
famous vocalist:
It gives me great pleasure to say that after
using your piano for three years, I find it to give
complete satisfaction in all the points vital to an
artist. With its rich, full tone, it seems especially
well adapted to accompanying the voice in singing.

BLAIR
Thomas Williams, an organist of Jersey
City, was arraigned last week before Judge
Blair on an allegation by Morgan & Sons,
piano dealers, charging him with the lar-
ceny of a piano. It was shown that Wil-
liams was an agent of the piano company
and sold the instrument on installments.
There was some mistake in the.accounts,
and as these were straightened Judge Blair
accepted Williams' plea of non vnlt and
suspended sentence, taxing costs on the
Freeholders.

POOLE
The supplementary proceedings against
Alfred Dolge have been dragging along
wearily for four days during the week.
The examination developed that he was
carrying about $180,000 in life insurance
and that he had already paid upwards of
$90,000 in premiums. In discussing the
matter of adjournment Mr. Dolge stated
that he desired it to be short, for he wished
to get out of town as soon as the examina-
tion was finished, and should have been
gone ere this had it not been for this
matter.—Schenectady, N. Y., Union.
It gives me great pleasure to certify that I
have used your Grand Piano for the last six years
at my residence in New York City and that I con-
sider them equal to the best made. Its tone is me-
lodious and exquisitely fitted for accompanying
singing. It is also powerful and even in the whole
extension. I heartily recommend them.

"Words of Praise" forms a strong docu-
ment in favor of the Behning products. It
is bound to be effective.
The greatest favorite ever brought out
by the distinguished house of Hazleton
Bros, is the new upright, style X. It is as
delightful a medium with which to prodiice
exquisite harmonies as it is to look upon.
LOOK AND LISTEN.

men. Look it all over, from pedals ^ — ,
