Royal W. Daynes, L. W. Snow, George W. Morgan
and Thomas A. Williams, all of Salt Lake City.
PIANOS OF ANY KIND ARE
HARD TO GET IN ENGLAND
Newspaper Item. Tells of Demand for Second-Hand
Instruments in Old World.
One of the piano items floating around in the
newspapers tells of the demand for second-hand
instruments in England. The condition is much as
it was supposed to be in this country a year ago—
before the eastern piano factories had started up
after the long strike. One of the items which has
trade interest is as follows:
"Any one having an old piano to sell can find a
ready market in England. It is an interesting side-
light of the war that England's piano trade is more
active than in many years, and because of restricted
production the business is mainly in used instru-
ments. The demand comes principally from provin-
cial munition centers where there has been such a
marked increase in wages since the beginning of
the war.
"A great round-up of second-hand pianos is in
progress in London and the suburbs. People in
many districts are receiving offers from dealers to
purchase their instruments and apparently some
dealers are circularizing whole neighborhoods in
October 2, 1920.
the hope of finding a few families willing to dispose
of their pianos.
"The wood and wire formerly used in making
pianos are now required for aeroplanes and many
of the larger piano manufacturers have given over
their plants to aeroplane manufacture. Labor in the
piano industry is also scarce.
"Second-hand baby grand pianos, which are most
in demand, sell rapidly at 100 guineas ($10) if in
good condition. A few years ago the same instru-
ments new were sold at about $365. Second-hand
upright grand pianos that were formerly sold new
at about $120 now bring $250."
INVESTING IN AN ESTEY.
In encouraging Easton, Pa., parents to make their
children happy with an Estey piano, Wm. H. Keller
& Son says: "The purchase of an Estey Piano
is an investment in happiness whose returns are safe
and certain for years and years to come. There is
nothing speculative about the investment in an
Estey instrument. It has proven itself in thousands
upon thousands of cases, all over the world, for
more than three-quarters of a century. All that
you could ask in piano tone, style, finish and sound
construction you receive with your small initial
payment. The daily, monthly and yearly interest
you receive in satisfaction, pleasure and solid com-
fort is greater than upon any other investment you
could possibly make."
DESIRE TO PRACTICE
STIMULATED BY AMPICO
Point of View of Child Expressed in Verse Is
Used by Ohio Dealer in Catching
Advertising.
In talking about music for the children the
Hefling Music Company, New Philadelphia, O.,
uses a verse to present the stimulation to practice
provided by the Ampico:
"My scales no longer make me cry;
The hours of practice seem to fly;
For when my finger work is done,
And just before it's time for fun,
I let the magic music out,
And sit awhile and dream about
How I, perhaps, might play that way,
If I should practice every day."
SOME CASE.
Continuing the Helfing Music Co. says:
"For
your children who take music lessons Ampico is a
magic word which opens up a bright new world.
Music will acquire a new meaning when they can
hear every day concerts by the great modern mas-
ters of the pianoforte, whose playing the Ampico
reproduces with perfect fidelity. What an inspira-
tion it will be to your whole family to hear such
masters as Godowsky, Levitzki, Moiseiwitsch, Orn-
stein, Rubinstein and the great Rachmaninoff play-
ing for you in the comfort of your own home! The
value of the Ampico as a means of educating and
interesting children and encouraging a love for and
a knowledge of music can hardly be estimated, for
the Ampico supplies the musical atmosphere that
has such a broadening influence on the character
and guides and encourages the child in the early
steps of musical self-expression. It is the ideal in-
strument for your home pleasure."
Pie let the Keyslip against the Blocks as he saw
the Shelf nearly Fall from the Arm at her Side, and
if it hadn't been Back so far it would have fallen on
her Toes. So he would Truss to luck and not Caster
away for she would never go hungry as the Pylaster.

KNABE THE THEME.
In telling Charlotte, N. C, prospective piano
buyers about the Knabe Mignonette grand, Jno. W.
Post & Co. says: "The first Knabe Piano was
made in Baltimore in 1837—as they are being made
there right now. Throughout the 83 years of its
existence the Knabe has always been regarded
—even by the severest musical critics—as the best
piano human hands could produce. The Tone of the
Knabe makes it 'The World's Best Piano.'"

Pride of Possession
adds materially to the joy and satisfaction one gets from his
phonograph.
THE STRATFORD promotes a rightful pride because of its
beauty; because of its lack of phonograph troubles; because of its
distinct, true, and natural reproduction of the artist or instrument.
Then, t too, with THE STRATFORD, one may enjoy ALL the
world's best music because it plays perfectly ALL records.
It is the instrument you will want; an instrument you will be proud
to own; proud to demonstrate to your friends.
Hear it—you will be delighted.
