The policy of the Williams House is and always
has been to depend upon excellence of product
instead of alluring price. Such a policy does not
attract bargain hunters. It does, however, win the
hearty approval and support of a very desirable
and substantial patronage.

AMBITIOUS PLANS OF THE
0. K. HOUCK PIANO CO.
For a
Bigger and Better
Business
Newly Purchased Building to Be Added to Re-
modeled One Now Occupied.
The Stewart-Gwynne & Co.'s building at 100 and
102 South Front street, Memphis, Tenn., with a
frontage of 47 feet on Front and extending back
8*£ feet, has been purchased by the O. K. Houck
Piano Co. for $42,500. The present leases will ex-
pire Sept. 1 and immediately thereafter the build-
ing will be remodeled so it can be converted into a
wholesale house for the company's Victrola depart-
ment.
The building has a 15-foot alley on one side and a
30-foot alley in its rear. According to plans new
elevators will be installed and the entire building
given a general overhauling.
On the same date the leases expire on the Front
street property, the O. K. Houck Piano Co. will
start remodeling the building at 103 South Main
street which it now occupies. There will be new
passenger elevators installed, a sprinkling plant
placed in the building, also an entirely new heating
plant. The first floor of this building will be con-
verted into an exclusive retail Victrola department
with booths on the ground floor and on a mezza-
nine floor. The main entrance to the building will
be changed to the center of the front. The booths
will be on each side of the entrance. The offices
will be removed to an upper floor.
On Sept. 1 the O. K. Houck Piano Co. will com-
plete 25 years in the present Main street building
by taking possession of it on a new lease covering
a period of 15 years. O. K. Houck is president of
the company, J. F. Houck vice-president and W.
S. Christman, treasurer. The company, which is
a strictly one-price one, has branches in Little
Rock, Ark., and Nashville, Tenn.
There is nothing to compare
with the complete line of

satisfaction to the public.
